Robert (Bob) Michael Bahne

i miss you grandpa every single day. my heart breaks over and over again. life without you just hasn´t been the same. i think of all our memories constantly. you gave me memories to last a few lifetimes and i will be forever grateful for that. until we meet you again

We think of Bob, Leslie and the Bahne family often. I first met Bob when I was about 12 or so and he would come to our house to see Julie. He would go on camping trips with our family. He was driving a 1952 Chevy fastback in those days. Always a classy fun guy. Joe Feuling

Grandpa, how has it already been a year since you´ve been gone? life just doesn´t seem real without you here. I wish i could wake up from this nightmare. we miss you like crazy but we know that you are with your parents, moomoom, the other family members we´ve lost over the years and our beloved animals. We will see you again someday. i love you until the end of time. i miss you so so much. wish i could give you one last hug.

Not a day goes by that I don't think about you dad. I miss you more than words can say. I love you always and forever! Can't believe it's been a year - still seems like yesterday you were here. I cherish all the amazing memories we created together. Til we meet again dad. Sending you and mom a big hug...miss you both so much.

Bob will always be remembered for his warmth and big heart. Blessings during this Holiday season to the Bahne Family.

Bob was an amazing father in law to me , grandfather to our 2 kids, Kylie and Nate, and a wonderful, loving, supportive father to my husband Todd. He raised Todd to have the same qualities and for that I will be forever thankful. I have so many fond memories of the family holiday get togethers, our family camping trips to Mt Whitney, and our annual Surf expo trips to Fl. Our hearts are broken from our loss but our memories of Bob will be with us forever. He will be forever missed

Dad (aka Papa)...the Man, the Myth, the Legend. You will forever be in our hearts. Thank you for being such an amazing dad to me and a wonderful Papa to Kharis & Kamille. You were and always will be their world. I am so grateful that God chose me to be your daughter. A lifetime of so many happy memories to cherish. Life just isn´t the same without you here, but I´ll be sure to continue to live it to the fullest. I love you dad and miss you more than words can express. Your radiant smile lives on through all of us/your family - myself, Todd, Kharis, Kylie, Nate & Kamille. We have all been blessed with it!
Give mom a big hug! Til we meet again dad...

Sending love and healing energy. Bob & Leslie were soul mates and every time I was around them you could see how much he loved her. I am going to miss seeing Bob dress up as Santa Claus for Christmas and I will miss his smile. His heart was wide open and beautiful.

When I married Leslie´s grandson (Will Peterson) Bob & Leslie were so welcoming when I met them and at our wedding my family adored them. My heart feels so heavy for your loss. Bob was truly one of a kind. Will loves and adores his grandfather and whenever Will talked about Bob he always had such a smile on his face. Bob was such an inspiration to both Will and myself.

Sending your family and Leslie love every minute

Bob was a wonderful man and someone we all loved. His positive outlook on life is something that we all strive for. He was humble and kind and always smiling. Rest in peace Bob. You will be greatly missed.

I met your father when we 10 years old, he was a great friend and I know he will be missed by the family. As was mentioned he was a John Denver fan and per John´s lyrics - Take Me Home (Country Roads)

My sincere condolences to the family. May God bless him in glory

I had the honor of being a part of the Bahne family in my high school and college days. Todd was one of my best friends and I LOVED spending time with his family and hanging out on top of the hill. There is a lot of laughter and love up there. Bob would purchase machine parts from my mom´s company and she said Bob often had his granddaughter Kharis on his hip and how much he adored her. Just before Thanksgiving God blessed me with one final moment with Bob and Leslie at Costco in Vista. I hear, "Is that Jonna May?" Bob and Todd were the only ones who called me that LOL. We caught up for about 15 minutes and his warm and bright smile will always shine in my heart. He truly is a legacy. Thank you Bahne family for all of my favorite memories. I love you all with all of my heart.

I went to High School with Bob and played baseball with him. He was a really good catcher. Enjoyed hanging out with him and his other two amigos, Mike Sexton and Larry Flores, during the summer. RIP Bob...Jay (A.J.) Moore

We lost one of the best when Bob left us to go to heaven! I had the privilege to work with Bob on the same football crew for the past 2 1/2 seasons. Loved sharing a cup of coffee with him the morning of the game and ice cream the night before. Always so calming and upbeat. Loved the guy and will miss him dearly! Bob, Bob, are you there? :-)

We have lived next door to Bob & Leslie for more than 20 years. They have had such big hearts for those around them; always checking on our well-being, offering to help, keeping a stash of dog biscuits to slip through the fence to our dogs. Last year, Bob invited my husband Harry to join them at the Orange Bowl where he was so thrilled to cheer on his beloved Wolverines. Bob and Leslie worked so hard and were so proud of all the renovation work they only recently completed on their house. They were known for their generosity of spirit and devotion to each other. So many of us will miss them up here on top of this hill. It is a devastating loss.

I was one of Bob's best friend's little bro. And I was always tagging along with the 2 of them, especially when they played baseball. I thought they both would be MLB players one day. Bob was always very kind and supportive to me - despite that I am sure I was a real bane to both of them while tagging along. I am very sorry to hear of his passing.

I have known Bob and his brother Bill since 1968 just after I drove into Encinitas to live from Hermosa Beach Ca. For many years were were competitors in both surfboard manufacturing and skateboard manufacturing, but we were always great friends and never ever any business rivalries just great friends. Back in 2018 Bahne Skateboards was inducted into the Skateboarding Hall Of Fame and the entire Bahne family was there for this special occasion. I felt very fortunate to be able do there introduction/presentation that special night. Not sure the Bahne family even knows this but (and I am not trying to brag at all) but I played a role in making sure the Skateboarding Hall Of Fame honored the Bahne Bros. as it was a toss up between Bahne and another skateboard manufacturing company and I told one of the main decision makers, it has to be Bahne Skateboards because they were responsible for bringing back skateboarding in 1974-75!

We miss you so much grandpa, you´ll forever be in our hearts and in our lives. I love you, and I can´t wait to see you again one day

Bob was such a caring and warm person. I am so glad I had chance to visit with him and Todd at the hill a couple of years ago. RIP Bob.

I have had the privilege/honor of having Bob as my brother-in-law for many years. We all think of his friendship and the good times we shared. Bob has been a great influence on so many of us for so many years. He will be missed by all lives he touched. Joe/Suzanne Feuling
