Bob Catlin was my kind of guy. Honest and Sincere. He was a good truck driver and a good dispacher.Liked working with him and for him up here when we drove at Tamko in Phillipsburg, Ks. Last time I seen him was at Pete Doyle's funeral. Last time I played Guitars with him was when he came down to The Ackin Back Resort at Shell Knob, Mo When we owned and run it. Didn't get to see him much but will miss him.All of the Family has me and my wife Evelyn's Sympathy

I met "Catman" at the American Legion dances. I am saddened to hear of his passing, but am glad he was with his family. He hadn't been feeling well for a while, but telling him to go to the doctor was like telling him not to sing a country song. He had a stubborn streak and a heart of gold. I'm glad to have called him my friend. Sincerely, Kelli Loyd
