Marguerite, and family, my deepest condolences. I remember lots of antics in Law School years when Bob and Wick would come back to the house on Laurel Ridge. The keg parties at the house on weekends. The guitars playing.....Such fun! Bob will remain in my heart forever, and Marguerite, you and your beautiful family are in my prayers. He is at Home now, with our Heavenly Father, where you will be reunited one day. All my love, Mary Lee

Bob Redwine, What enthusiasm, wit and charm! And that Steve McQueen glint in his eye.. He could play and sing.. and elicit new heights by riding his coattails of fun and finesse....indeed ...He brought me to "the four"..... Though its been 50 years since I've seen him, his face would pop into my mind... and I'd think "I gotta get to Cape Girardeau... it sounded just like such a wonderful, mysterious, soulful, musical place ... and how too, I missed him in New Orleans... .. I don't want to utter those words here!! ... there is more on my mind, ..... and there is a spiritual connection beyond time...I'm asking for some of that verve of his ... I see he has a son here in San Francisco.... Well Bob , we'll meet again!!

October 24, 2014

To Bob's family, please take comfort in knowing that Bob was respected, admired and loved by those who knew him when he was young, vibrant, fun, wild and a true inspiration to a bunch of other young men who were lucky enough to all live together as Phi Delts in Fulton, Missouri.
I am so sorry for your loss, but I think Bob would be happy to know that he had such a positive impact on all of us who share a lifetime bond.

We will always treasure memories of our talented neighbor, Bob. Guitar and red beans, cocktails and football when one or the other of our households was without power after a storm. Sending prayers, fond memories of the music, and much love to Marguerite, Anna, and John. And, of course, Gus.

For me, Bob Redwine was the reserved intellectual of the Phi Delt house. He had a terrific sense of humor and music. His being a pilot in college inspired me to obtain my pilot's license in 1965.

My thoughts and condolences are with Bob's family and his many dear friends who are missing him already.
