Hi Bob, What a "beautiful day" is today when we think of you and Dotti. We miss and think of you often. Until we meet again.

Uncle Bob today is Memorial Day--and We are all missing you so very much yet we know you are in the best of hands in heaven. We put a new flag up at our home to honor you today and always.-Each day you are in our thoughts, and our hearts, we feel your presents all around us, in things we see and in the things we have done together. Your memory will live on forever in so many ways. We Love YOU! We can feel your hugs and see those baby blues looking back at us, if only we could hear your voice telling us "everything is beautiful". Although we are missing your physical presents and having you near, it brings us great peace and comfort to know that we too will be joining you, (God willing) someday. Untill then we will try to live our life just as you did yours, to the fullest... God Bless Us All

We will always remember the corned beef dinners. They were great hosts and great people.

The Lomax Family sends deepest sympathies to Dottie and hope she is doing well. We always enjoyed their company and conversation at the Telegraph Cove Sunday night dinner. You always saw them coming...they were the best dressed campers going. He will be missed. God Bless

Bob & "The Queen" will be missed at Alder Bay but here's hoping Dottie can be there again to give us a song once in a while. Bob sure was a battler & he hung in there whatever the challenge, he still got his share of the salmon, Bob you have left a space that can't be filled. R.I.P.

Bob was a great man and will be sorely missed by all of those whose lives he touched,
Bob was my triples partner at the Shoshone shoot and we broke everything that came out, but most of all I'll remember the laughs and fun we had.
Bob and Dottie, Ernie and Mryna always together and always smiling and having fun. What an inspiration for all.
Elsie and I love them all, and we will miss our great times with Bob.
The man should be an inspiration to all who knew him, nobody can take his place!
God bless you Dottie.

We've known Bob Taylor over 50 years. I used to call him the man with the magic thumb. He could press a steak while it was cooking and tell immediately weather it was rare, medium rare, or well done. Art shot skeet at Bob Taylor's gun club many times but Bob always prefered trap.
All of his good times started when he met Dotti. He traveled the world with her and spent summers in Canada. When he came back there was always a party. Oh how we would look forward to those parties. He cooked all kinds of fish he caught and everything alwasy came out perfect, thanks to Dotti's hospitality and Bob's know how.
We love them both,
Art and Rene' Castle (their 'ol partners)

Dottie, Bob will truly be missed by all the Shoshone family. He was a blessed person to have done all the wonderful and exciting things in life as well as all of his amazing uaccomplishments. One of his greatest was being married to you. You have always been such a support system to him. You are in our prayers. If there is anything we can do for you, please let us know. See you in June.

Our memories of Bob are mostly from the African trip where Bob proved to be the GREAT hunter of the group. He seemed to have such a good time there with the other options available, too. Remember our van tour of the sheep ranch and the figs off that gigantic tree? One of Effie's strongest memories of Bob on that trip, though, was not related to what or how we had fun, but Bob's pride in his Queen. He seemed as proud as a peacock when I happened to mention to Dottie that she should quit looking so good on this trip, that we were looking dowdy compared to her model-like good looks and outfits. Later he told me Dotti always looked like that, no matter how early she had to arise to do so. He obviously loved you, Dotti, and wasn't afraid to show it. Our hearts go out to you in this time of your loss. Hugs, Effie and Jim Medford

YOU WILL BE MISSED BOB... THE LAST TIME WE SAW YOU AT THE OLE TIMERS DINNER YOU WERE KICKING UP YOUR HEELS!! WHAT A GREAT PERSONALITY.. MY HUSBAND ALWAYS SAID THAT ALL THOSE DAYS YOU WERE COOKING STEAKS AT THE RANCH HOUSE YOU WOULD NEVER GO THIRSTY, BECAUSE YOU WOULD THROW THOSE ICE PIECES UP IN THE AIR AND CATCH THEM IN YOUR MOUTH.. WE WERE ALWAYS THOROUGHLY ENTERTAINED WITH YOU!! WE WILL MISS YOU..GOD BLESS YOU DOTTIE.

We were so sorry and saddened to hear of Bob's passing. Dottie, our thoughts and prayers are with you. Bob was a wonderful and interesting man - we sure will miss you both at Alder Bay. I can never forget the day Bob and Dottie came in from fishing, and had 4 - 30 lb + Salmon on board the "Queen"! Bob was a true fisherman in every sense of the word. He was always busy working on something in the boat, whether it was in or OUT of the water! About 2 years ago, he was SO determined to go fishing - I recall helping him down the steep low-tide ramp, he had his oxygen tank, and his fishing rod, and was heading out to fish!!
Bob always had time to stop and talk to us at our camp, and their pot-lucks, parties and camp comaraderie at their Airstream will be missed. We will always treasure those times. Godspeed to you, Bob.

Dearest Bob,
As your working your way around heaven and getting to know where the best hunting and fishing spots are, I bet
the best part is the fresh air that you breathe so deeply in. Although your Queen is not ready to join you in heaven, she will know that you are always watching over her. I wonder where your travels will take you? They
must be beautiful! You'll have it all scoped out by the time Queen joins you and the two of you will be off and enjoying yourselves together again.
Our paths will cross again someday, and when they do, let the fishing begin and the friendship continue.
With Love,
Cowboy and Mary Ann

I am so glad that I got a chance to meet you in this life,Bob.
It was especially nice to see you again last summer here at the beach.
I will always be thinking of you on Thanksgiving when I carve the turkey the special way you taught me at Harry's house on one of our Thanksgivings years ago!
Our love to you,Dotti....

Bob Taylor and Dottie have filled our memory bank. We will always think of Bob when we eat shrimp. The trip to Africa when Bob could out-shoot everyone. The Mr . and Mrs Santa Claus in Mexico giving to everyone. Bob loved life and gave the people around him happiness. He always felt wonderful. Hal and Lynnette

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

I had the pleasure of participating in several of Bob's trap tournements. They were the best. And no matter how busy the steak house was, if you were a trap shooter, Bob could find a table for you.
He will be greatly missed.
