Mr. Mendenhall was envied for succeeding against all odds at being the best in the hardest, most painful business of all- paving. We may all look upon his success, but few could hardly achieve it.
After his 20th year he could have retired but he kept it going only so that his people could be #1 just like him. He took care of them like family. His people and his family are humble and lead the business with high integrity. They do good by all. This was a true American man.
You guys are truly #1, and we are blessed to be able to work with you all.
To be the best is nothing more than a committed decision- For life.

Prayers go to the Mendenhall Family. They are excellent folk and Bob will be greatly missed as our Patriarch. I don't see Bob "Resting" in Heaven. I can see Bob helping God create Worlds. He is probably coming up with better ways to create them. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of the LVPC Family. Love Gene Heatwole

(I work at Las vegas paving)
I wrote this poem for the families of the Mendenhall and love ones.
Don't cry for me no more tears, My physical body has left. But my spirit lives forever ... heaven is my home now. And here is where I stay ... Don't cry for me I'm at peace You must be strong. Don't cry for me. You must find your strength. Don't cry for me ... for it was my time. We will reunite one day , but for now you must stay strong. I am not alone. For I am surrounded by angels. Don't cry for me, for my father in heaven brought me to his kingdom of heaven. Don't cry for me,for I fear no more. he will keep me safe. Don't Cry for Me. I'm up in heaven watching over my families and my love ones. I will forever carry my families... be strong and find strength in each other and wipe your tears. I'm home. I'm finally home (Heaven). It is not the end, it is the beginning of my new life.

Robert (Bob) Mendenhall,
Since the day he was born. He saw the future and had a grasp on his dreams. The dream of building Las Vegas Paving. He made it into reality. With hope with faith with strength and the hard work he put in, he never stopped his dreams. He continued as his family grew and through his kids, and grand kids. He taught them the value. I only met Bob Mendenhall once and it was such a pleasure... to meet someone with a kind heart. Even in his busy schedule, He left his memories in our hearts. Also in our thoughts. We will never forget, for he still lives with in us... for it was his time to leave this earth. For his purpose here was completed. So now his new life begins. Up in paradise with his father, Home at last as he continues his dreams. Always watching over his families and loved ones. Bob Mendenhall with all my heart I thank you... Nancy Carricarte

I have been at Las Vegas Paving for over 19 + years. He interacted with the employees, and came out on jobs and was always very kind to everyone. I have never worked for a better company or person. It was inspiring see a man who was so successful be so humble and approachable. My thoughts and prayers are with the Mendenhall family during this difficult time. Bob will be greatly missed .

I have only been at LVP a short time by LVP standards. I was immediately struck by the fact that Bob was in the office almost every day at 87, 88, 89 years of age. He interacted with the employees, made business decisions and was always very kind to me. I have never worked for a better company or person. It was inspiring see a man who was so successful be so humble and approachable. My thoughts and prayers are with the Mendenhall family during this difficult time. Bob will be greatly missed around the office.
