When my brother Bob moved to Galesburg
Illinois a part of me went with him. A few
Years later he came back. We spent alot
Of quality time togather. We did alot of
Bowling, shooting pool, fixing cars
and home repair. We did alot of garage door
work where he was a expert at all
Phases. His bowling nickname was Mack
Attack. He had a kind heart would do
anything for someone. I told him " you
Have to fight this" from day one. Man
He took it to heart. He fought with everything he had. He was still
Touching hearts through his final day.
I will have Mack Attack engraved on
My bowlingball. The McGregor And Jones Family did an outstanding job of taking care of Bobby. Someone made a comment
That they have never seen love for a
Family member like that. He was special. He was my brother and my friend. I will miss him greatly but I will carry him in my heart forever. Love you forever brother.

Bobby, words cant express the sadness I feel about you leaving so soon. I will miss your "hey Leet what's up" with that smile only you could give everytime we met. I thank you for so many things. But I thank you most for being Johnnie's brother and friend. You fought a good fight and you won heavens eternal Glory. Give my dad a hug for me. Love you brother. Leet (Leta)

Dad, where do I start?
God brought us together when I needed you in my life the most.You were there at a moments notice for me, always. For this I thank you so much.
l also had the blessing of watching you help other's in any way you could. No job too big or too small, you would tackle it with pride. From building decks, bathrooms,
floors & houses, from plumbing to simple electrical, from garages to sidewalks, from ice makers to dishwashers, from yard work to fixing cars. You would and could do most anything, for anyone.
Some of my most favorite memories will be... working with you during our moving days, playing cards with the "Vegas Man", your extreme love of triple chocolate layer cake and dancing to your favorite song Brick House. And most of all, when you walked me down the isle at my wedding, I was so proud when you called me daughter. I knew then, that you loved and cared about me unconditionally.
I have been blessed from the first day we met.I will always cherish the piece of your heart you shared with me. I love you and I will miss you, but I know in my heart that I will see you again in heaven.

I will always hold tight to all the memories collected over the years I've had with Uncle Bob. He was always one of the fun uncles who liked messing with us kids and talking trash during any type of games we played. I loved it! I'm sad to see you go so soon, but my faith holds strong that you're in a better place free from pain. Rest peacefully uncle Bob! Much love to all the family! God bless

Bob we've laughed,cried,prayed,we read scripture and praised the Lord everyday. I hate this ugly disease that took your life and caused you pain. But your free now "two wings" you have. I seen your smile right before you passed let me know you were going home to be with the Lord. The strength you demistrated for fighting this battle was truly Amazing. And I'm so Thankful that you had the GREATEST nurses Annette,Sherry,Lana,Jody and alot of family & friends always at your bedside. I will never forget you my dear brother. Love your sister Jody

Brother Bob,
I love you and will miss you so much. My heart shattered into pieces when you passed away. You were such a fighter. I know that our amazing God gave you peace and was with you through your journey. It was an honor and privilege to be by your side. See you in Heaven one day. Love, your sister Lana
2 Corinthians 5:8
We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.

In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

I thank God for letting me travel down the road to see Bob at his house. For helping take care of him. We sang Christian songs to him. Bob would act silly and box fists with me. I gave him a goodbye kiss on his forehead. See you in Heaven one day. Love, your brother Tim
2 Timothy 4:7-8
"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day - and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing."
