Bob was one of the first people we met at T.F. Boyle many years ago. He was so very nice & helped us learn The Boyle way. Sorry we didn't meet Barbara, she would have to be nice to marry Bob. Our prayers are for them that may rest in peace.

Bob and Barbara were two of the nicest people we ever met. We miss them and Pray for those they left behind. Thanks Bob for all the help with our loads and for sharing with me how to catch the 10 pounder at McAlester, Ok!! What a thrill, and like you, I had no camera so like you I carried it to the highway and held it up so someone would see!! What a card!!
God Bless and in Christ's Love

HE WAS JOLLY AND FUN TO BE AROUND. HE NEVER HAD A BAD WORD TO SAY ABOUT ANYONE AT ANY TIME. MY FONDEST MEMORY WAS WHEN HE WOULD GO FISHING AND ALWAYS TOOK "BABY" OUR DOG TO THE FISHING HOLE WITH HIM. SHE LOVED TO GO OUT WITH HIM AND CHASE RABBITS WHILE BOB WORKED ON GETTING THE FISH. AS WITH BARBARA, BABY WILL BE THERE TO GO FISHING WITH BOB AND BARK WHEN THERE'S A BITE. OUR PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU.
