To Mary, Bobbie, Carolyn and Scott, We have known Bobby for his entire lifetime and are sorry for his passing. We remember him for his love of my Skeeter Chocolate Chip Cookies. Every time he visited Mim on Monday evenings he would stop by when he smelled the cookies baking to sample a few. He always had a big smile on his face. We have many happy memories of him and all of the holidays spent together with Mim abd Pip Blair as a family. Aunt Yvonne and Uncle Arvis Richardson

To Mary, Bobbie, Carolyn and Scott,



We have known Bob for many years and those memories are complete with wonderful moments, funny events, successful times, adventures, and a few inevitable regretful times. Through it all Bob remained a terrific friend, understanding, thoughtful and forgiving.



His many friends evidence these attributes wherever he chose to go, New York, Minnesota, Boston and Great Britain. Whether he chose to work, at Faultfinders, Fairchild, Schlumberger, Mill Road Acres, CMTI or Home Depot, Bob remained true to his principles, his family, his friends and himself. He lived for everyone, helped everyone and enjoyed the process.



Yes, he grumbled once in awhile and may not qualify for sainthood, but a greater friend, a nicer person God did not create. Indeed, if God knows why each of us is created, Bob fulfilled that purpose and we should believe he is being rewarded and has found lasting happiness and peace.



He is missed, and will be missed for forever, but he left behind a path for all of us to follow, and probably expects us to follow it. He will be watching and guiding in some way; just look for him.



May God bless you and your families and allow the strength and conviction of life, that Bob showed, to be present in these difficult times, some that will follow and in the many happy moments that inevitably will come your way in the journey of life.



Love you,

Mom, Ro and Bill

To the Clickner family, We are so sorry for the loss of Bob. Life is to short, cherish each and every day. Two of my favorite memories were when Bobby opened a can of whipped topping at Mim's on Thanksgiving and all the family around him got sprayed with it. How he loved that red and white 1960 something Ford hard top convertible and we all remember Rags the dog. Our sincere sympathy goes out to you. See you all in June. Peggy and Paul Schmidt
