Bob,
All my prayers are with you and those you loved. I found out about your passing today, and became profoundly saddened. I was reminded of our introduction by my sister Stacy and John Swain. You sold me a TV within the week ! I am listening to it now, as I click away on the laptop you sold me as well. You must be missed by many, as I miss you and barely got too know you. God bless you.

Cousin Bob. You will always live in our hearts and prayers. You and your brothers and sisters and parents were a big part of our childhood visits to Modesto. Your mother and my Grandmother were sisters. Although your younger brothers, Paul and Kenny, were closer to our age, we got to know all of your siblings, and each of you were unique; you will always have a special place in our heart. We're going to miss you at the family reunions--I'm sorry you weren't there at the last one. We always enjoyed talking to you and seeing you.

Love,
Cousin Mary

music is my life.

Bob Medlin, when I was young you were a part of my life and our family, you were friends with my Brother and in turn I got to know you and some of your family members, it has been many years since we talk with each other, I will miss you here, you will always be with me in my Heart & mind and my life. God Bless your Wife and children and family. Your Family will be in our prayers. A short story: Bob was over at the house in the 70’s (Modesto, CA.) to visit my brother during the visit Bob & Tim and I were setting around talking etc.. but I was playing with a pair of VISE-GRIP pliers I must have been maybe 10 years old at the time but Bob saw me screwing around with the VISE-GRIP pliers and said you are going to clamp them on to your nose if you keep that up, I didn’t care what he had to say at the time till the VISE-GRIP pliers clamped on my nose. as I recall Bob and my Brother Tim started to laugh and I was in some pain but later laugh at it, but I can never forget that, it fills like it happen yesterday. I will always remember your Red Hair your smile your voice and your crazy humor God bless you. Bob Thank you for showing me some things in life during my young life, thank you for turing me on to Music and electronics, I am still enjoying that today.

A old friend from the pass.

Bob, man its just not right, it wasn't more than a year ago that I ran into you and we talked Electronics, you were my District Manager at my first Stereo sales job. I played football with you, had a few beers with you,and later worked at the same company with you, but I wish I could have said goodbye. You always knew more than the average guy when it came to Audio and Video. And always made me laugh!. It is just too darn soon for you to go, but there must be something God needed you to do? I know you were a great dad and husband, I enjoyed our talk at the Davis High 10 yr Reunion. God bless your wife and children, it really makes you think about how precious each day is....Your Family will be in our prayers.
