Back in our Corrections days big Bob held me under his wing many times. When I was going through tough times, afraid and alone, Bob invited me to dinner to his home with his family on Christmas Day. He also gave me a nice pair of black leather gloves as a gift that day.
The times spent fishing with him are also memories etched in my mind. What a wonderful man.

My deepest condolences for your loss. The first time I ever met him I was roughly four yrs. old, listened to him talk like donald duck and thought he was the tallest man on earth when he stood up. I lost contact with him many years ago,but thought about him over the years. He will be greatly missed. My prayers are with his family.

Hi Big Bob i will miss you so much. We played in a lot of golf tournamants together and had a great time. We looked like the odd couple pulling up to the tee box but got along so well in the cart. I will miss you

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

Bob will be truly missed by Bonnie and myself. He was a friend that we enjoyed to visit with and when we would walk around the neighborhood, during our morning exercise, see Bob driving his school bus, he never failed to stop and say hello or just wave.

One of the most memorable times was when we were building a shed in our back yard. We had to install the prefab roof and needed someone that was tall to hold the center. At 6 foot 8, Bob came over and held the center section and TADA, we had a shed! A great man that will be in our hearts forever.

We are so sorry for the loss of your loved one,he will be greatly missed at First Student.He was a very fun and loving person who had a great sense of humor.Michelle,Kathy,Charleen,and Diana

What can I say - Bob was always so cheerful, full of life and kind to me. I hadn't seen him in so long, but will always remember his jokes, teasing, and big heart. I'm so grieved for you Karrie, and your children and grandchildren. It was a blessing to know him the little bit I did.

Rest in peace, Bob. You will be missed. We had alot of good times at the NCO club, and have many fond memories. Karrie and Family, you have our greatest sympathies and condolences. Carry him in your heart always.

I remember the jokes, and golfing with Bob on several occasions. I am glad to have known him and send my heart felt condolences to his family and friends.

I hadn't seen Bob since the Department of Correction days so long ago. Remembering the good times will help get through this very difficult time. He loved his family and friends.

Bob was a great person and fun to talk to. He will be missed. Thanks for the stories Bob. And the good food at the base. Pete and Natalie Bellovich

Karrie and family:

I was shocked and saddened to hear of Bob's passing. I got some of my best jokes from him. I know it's been a while, but some of the best times of my life have been spent in your company, whether at the club or on a trip to Jackpot. Please know you are in my thoughts today and always.

"Big Bob" was my children's bus driver at Amity School in the early 90's. He was their favorite bus driver, and was well loved by staff and parents as well. He will be missed. We pray that you find comfort and peace. The Andersen family (Kathy, Steve, Sarah, Jessica & Ben) Boise, Idaho

Dan,

I'm very sorry to hear about your loss. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless.

Karrie, Danny, Robbie: Dick and I are so very sorry for your loss. We were shocked to hear that Bob had passed away. We thought a great deal of Bob and enjoyed the great times we all had together whether it was a trip to Jackpot, Bingo at the club, or just lifting one together. He was the greatest "unlicensed" back cracker in the business.
Peace & God's blessings to all of you. Dick & Fran

Karrie, I am so sorry for your loss. I love you guys and my heart just stopped beating when I saw the news. I know it has been a long time, but you all meant a lot to me and I pray you make it through this tough time. We had some good times together and those are the times I keep in my memory. Just know you all are in my thoughts and prayers.
