Jon Bob Collette

Just saw this today. My condolences to family and friends. He was a good guy. We were friends in our teenage years. God bless.

Martha & Family,
My heart is truly saddened by the loss of this wonderful fun loving man! He has been in our family all my life. As a little girl and looking up at him with his big cigar I called him Bozo and he called me Nickel. He is the only one out of my life that has called me Nickel and I felt special when he called me that. Hold all your wonderful memories close at heart for he is now in a better place. I'll never forget him standing up at Uncle George's funeral telling the story how he and Uncle George tried to shove a horse in a car. That is just the funniest thing I've ever heard!! Bozo will be miss and never forgotten. BIG (((HUGS))).

Martha
I remember how delightful it was that you worked with Terry while Jon worked with our kids at Arlington. Sam, especially, felt a strong kinship with Jon and sought him out when he went back to visit Karen Bradbury - he was in her first class. Jon always congratulated him on his military service and looked forward to his visits when Sam was in uniform.
Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal. Keep your memories strong and know our prayers are with you.
Pat & Terry Stahlhut

Uncle Bobby you will be missed by all of us. At least God has gotten another angel. Will love and miss you always

For April and Jake, I know the loss of Bob weighs heavy. Bob always treated me well and I know he loved you guys. Fathers Day is a good time to remember the good things a father gives you. First of all, he and your mom gave us you two. If he accomplished nothing else, that was pretty special. You had his love. All the rest is trimming. To the extended family and the blended families, hold in your heart what you shared in Bob. Rest is peace.

Jake and April, you two know how much I love you. I wish I could make this easier for you, make it hurt less but I can't. I feel the loss of Bob myself. He has always been by brother in law. And the first person in the family to give me a beer. I hate loosing him and I hate that the two of you lost him. Just know that you both always have Uncle Bill for anything you need.

Jake & April, I am so sorry for your loss. Asking God to give you comfort and strength during this time.

I am at a loss of words knowing my Uncle Bob has passed away. We have been apart by many miles but he was always in my heart. Prayers for Martha and the family. Uncle Bob will always live on in my heart. Rest in Peace Uncle Bob
