Robert Gilstrap

Just wanted to offer our sincere condolences. Sending thoughts and prayers to the family that you will find peace and comfort in God and treasured memories.

We will miss seeing Bob at church -- He was such a kind man. We feel blessed to have known him.

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.

I recall sharing a brand new pair of Track Spikes with Bob furnished by Coach Grebe in Spring 1954 at FCHS.

We love you, Uncle Bob, and are so thankful that we were able to spend time with you last month. We will cherish those memories forever.

I remember my father speaking so highly of Bob when he worked at the Allendale mine in Wyoming. Thought & Prayers for all of the family.

I was deeply saddened to learn of the passing of my good friend and classmate, Bob Gilstrap. My heartfelt condolences go out to his many relatives. After high school graduation, I lost contact with Bob and his wonderful wife, Dixie, with whom I went to school for 12 years. The first time I saw them was at our 45th school reunion,in 1997. When I began writing my book about my brother in 2008,I had several wonderful visits with Bob and Dixie. During one visit I saw a great photo of their great grandson, Mason. That's when the idea hit me to use a photo of him with my brother for the cover of my book. I'm very pleased that the first person to see the final draft of my book was Dixie. I made a special trip to her home with the book just a few days before she passed.

I shall never forget Bob and Dixie. If the world were filled with more people like them, it would be a much better place.

Our condolences to you upon the passing of Bob. May you always hold fond memories of his life with you.


Sincerely,
D. Downey
