One of my earliest memory with Bob was when we had put on a Dick Tracy original skite we put on during a 3rd grade performance. Bob was always supportive and a true friend. You'll always be with me my friend!

Dear Laura, sitting at the kitchen table just now and wondering whose funeral is at the minor Street cemetery as I can see it from here. I had heard about Bob and just found the information online. Thinking of you. So very, very sorry for your loss, Laura.
Love you, Leslie and Dean

To Laura & the Chapman Family,
I'm so sorry to hear about Bobby.
Bobby was my favorite lefty pitcher in Softball.
We played together for several years & he always brough a great spirit & energy to the team and game.
As I just shared with a group of friends and former teammates of Bobby, he was the original " Sparky" - full of life & that big mischievous smile.
I get a kick when I think of him calling me "JJ".
During the 80's we had a great, close group of friends and Bobby was a huge piece of that.
I moved out to California in '92 & would come back home frequently.
I remember mid 2000's Bobby hosted a great day at his house in Portland with many friends & bocce, bbq & a good drinks & cheer.
It was striking to look out at the meadow from the patio & how beautiful & peaceful it looked.
An Irish Blessing:
"May God give you...
For every storm, a rainbow,
For every tear, a smile,
For every care, a promise,
And a blessing in each trial.
For every problem life sends,
A faithful friend to share,
For every sigh, a sweet song,
And an answer for each prayer."
I will keep you all in my thoughts & prayers & cherish Bobby's spirit.
Peace & much Love,
Jerry
