I haven't seen great Uncle Bob for many years. However, as a small child I can remember how much he loved his milk and how he always had something funny to say. I was always very fond of him. I like to think that my 5 year old son, Sam, picks up his love for milk from my side of the family and Uncle Bob. :)
Uncle Bob, you are greatly missed and will always be remembered. Aunt Beulah and family, you are all in my prayers.
All My Love,
Kimberly Marlow and Family

I will always remember Bob and his love for kids. A big highlight of the Lilly Chapel homecoming was always seeing him with his games. Also I remember wotking with him at Fairfield Elementary. He certainly was well loved and will be greatly missed.

Vickie and family - We are saddened to hear of the loss of your Dad. He was such an important part of our baton family and will be truly missed. We will miss him at our parades and always offering a helping hand. He was always there to help - hold a banner, setup the sound system, hand out items and make sure his little girl and her girls were okay. We will treasure those memories we have of him. Have comfort in your heart to know that we all care so much about you. Vickie - you are a gem. We "Thank you" for all that you have taught us over the years. Your passion is unmatchable.
