My thoughts go to Sally, Bobby, Tammy, John and everyone who had the opportunity to know and love Bob. He was full of life with an amazing sense of humor that lit up the entire room. And that laugh was so contagious. Heaven is a happier place with his entrance. I am sure there's some dancing to the BeeGees going on and definitely some Tom Dooley:). RIP Malcolm. Love and Strength to the whole Cave family.

We enjoyed knowing Bob during his years in Cloudcroft. He was a good example of a man with a purpose and wasn't afraid of work.
He will be missed here on the mountain.
Love to the family,

Bob was a person I highly respected and admired. I had many talks with Bob at the Burro Exchange Building, and enjoyed his jokes. I thank him so much for his good advice and will always cherish those times we talked in Cloudcroft. May God give him peace and comfort and that he continue to give good advice.
