You were my mentor. You taught me how to shoot, hunt and fish. Now you in the big woods in the sky. You were more than a brother-in-law, you were my big brother. I will miss you!!!!

Our deepest condolences to the Shive family at this time.

I was so happy to get to know you when I first dated Mikey back in high school and every year I made it tradition to make cutout cookies for Christmas and drop them off down at the house. Even though they were meant for Kathy as well you always managed to hide that bag so they were for you.

May you rest In Peace , we will all miss you.

Love Tiff

Uncle bob you have been that father figure in my dads life. We will all miss your corny jokes and the way you would wrap gifts. Even though I was hoping you would make it to our wedding we will be thinking of you. My dad is hurting but we will help his heart heal. You are no longer in pain and will be watching over your family. Much love your niece!

My father worked with Bob at Remita Rug for many years. And I remember going to his house and his family coming to ours many times. He was always great to talk with and I always like when he would bring one of his new toys (hunting rifles) to show us. My thoughts and prayers are with you Kathy, Jacki and Tanya.
