Fond memories from years ago in New Iberia
Ginger Donovan
September 15, 2020
Bob/GrandBob was the greatest man that ever walked this earth. He loved nature, singing, church, his work friends, family, his loving wife and most of all his 2 grandkids Dillan and Ally. I was so lucky to have had Bob in my life for almost 24 years and thank God for him everyday. Bob loved me as his own and referred to me as his daughter. He always respected the relationship I had with my dad and my dad really appreciated that Bob was such a positive force in my life. When Dillan was born Bob chose the name GrandBob for Dillan to call him once he was older. He was so proud of Dillan and bragged about him to everyone he saw. Bob always had pictures to share of his grandkids. Ally came along 4 1/2 years later and Bob said his heart couldn’t be more full of love and he was truly blessed to be a GrandBob. There isn’t anything he wouldn’t do for me, Dillan or Ally. He loved to spend time outside playing with his 2 grandkids and I think they brought back some of his youth. I’m thankful Bob was able to see Dillan graduate from high school. He was able to see Ally grow up to be a strong young lady and battle her way back from spine surgery last year. Her GrandBob was one of her biggest cheerleaders during her recovery and all her years playing softball. Bob is now in heaven with his mom and dad probably walking around and singing. I know he’s watching over us and will protect Dillan and Ally. I’m so blessed that I had an amazing bonus dad and the kids had an awesome GrandBob. RIP Bob/ GrandBob, we love you to infinity and beyond.

My wife and i (debbie) have been living at the friedrichs harris home for many years across the way from bobby. I often visited bobby at the back of the property in the playhouse. We talked at length many times. I was impressed with how well he understood human interaction even though he kept to himself alot of the time. Also, we had a long history (since 5 yrs old) and we laughed alot, sometimes. Neither one us could stop laughing. In my view bobby had a stronger faith than most people ive met. He comforted me many times and i am going to miss him so much
