Bob is a wonderful father, Grandfather, husband, and friend. He always called me "gal" and I will cherish all the memories we made. His son Christopher was the love of my life. My heart smiles to know they are together again. I will remember him fondly as my children do as 'Bob-Bob.

In loving memory of My Uncle Bob.........I am sadden for his loss of life, yet I know, he is at peace with God. Michael and Jimmy I want you to know, that I will be praying for you, for the lost of your Father is great. I know his passing will be difficult. God will give you the strength you need, to endure. Your Father was a good man, and he lived his life for his children and those he loved who were dear to him. My Mother,loved him so. She talked about him and of their childhood many times and she had the utmost respect for her brother. He was a blessing to her. My Mother, (Mary Katherine Book) passed on into Glory, two years ago and I know she was waiting at the gates of heaven, with her arms open wide, to embrace her brother. I know they are celebrating his arrival, where he will be greeted by other family members, his dear son, Chris and his Mother and Father (William and Katherine Watson). Uncle Bob was loved by all of his family and friends, We all mourn for his passing....Michael and Jimmy, may God be with you.........and may you rest in comfort, knowing your Father has no more suffering and that one day, we shall see him again. Your Cousin, from back home...Shannon

I was saddened to hear of Bob's passing. I had not seen him since he retired. He worked in the area next to my work area for several years at DPS. I always enjoyed talking with him. I extend my condolences to the family.

Bob was one of the nicest, sweetest truly Christian men I have had the pleasure of knowing. From the first day I met him, he treated me like family. His family was so blessed to have him as the loving husband and father that he was. May God bless you all with his comfort and love during you time of grief. His loss will be felt by many.
