There’s isn’t words or a feeling that I can put into terms of how much you meant to me. I owe my whole existence to you. You made me feel loved unconditionally. I love you so much grandpa bob. I just want to thank you for the person you’re where for me and the things you didn’t have to do for me but you did. You were and are my father the only father figure I had in my life, I thank you so much for caring about me. Happy birthday!! I wish you could have made it to 86 but your work was done here and I understand. I will do what you did for me for Mason. I will be his everything the way you were mine. I love you so much and miss you every second that passes. I want you to know I’m making my dreams come true with the hard work you instilled into me. I will continue to live my life for you, I love you grandpa.

Bob was like a father and grandfather to our families. We adopted Bob as our family after the lost of his life long girlfriend, Juanita. Bob helped raise Kyle. Bob was at all holidays with our family and Donnie’s. He would make sure I schedule so he could be present for both.

Bob was an awesome story teller and give him a beer or three and he was real funny the life of the party.

Bob enjoyed fishing with Donnie, Byron and Kyle. He also enjoyed the hunting camp with Rick even though he never shot anything except hogs.

Bob had the best work ethic you have ever seen. You would have to argue with him about mowing the pasture. He would get mad if we did it because that was his job. Even recently before he had his stroke he wanted to help me paint. I got to where I told him I had no projects because he would get mad at me if I didn’t let him help.

We love Bob and will miss him so much. I think of him daily and miss his phone calls now. And for those who got phone calls you know he call us more than 3 times a day.

We love you Bob and you are always in our hearts. ❤❤
