Bob, Julie, Justin and Brooke,
So sorry for your loss. We have some good memories of us shooting on the target range on our farm and will always treasure them. We really enjoyed meeting him and was glad he got to come do something he enjoyed doing. Our prayers and thoughts go with you and your family.

Carol, I just learned that Bob had cancer from a mutual friend and am so saddened to now learn of his home going. Although we have not been in contact for many years, I remember the beautiful pictures he took of our family before Bobby died in 1988. May God comfort you and your family in your great loss. With much sympathy, Carol Smith Godwin

Carol and Family,

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.
May the love of God give you peace,
May the love of friends give you comfort,
May the love of your dear one remain
in your heart,
And give you strength through the days ahead.

How sad I was to hear the news of Bob's passing...Carol both you and Bob were such a source of strength and comfort to me when I first came to work for you at Liberty. You took a chance on someone who had not worked outside of the house for many years. Bob was a photo task master and as a result I am today a better photographer because of it...and Carol, I learned so much from you...for one, I watched as you were a wonderful gentle helpmate for Bob...you both and your family have been in my prayers since we first learned of Bob's illness and you will continue to be in my prayers...

In deepest sympathy,
