I did not have the pleasure to meet Bob in this life, but I know his work, and I know what he left here. I know a lot of people who he quietly kept an eye on, quietly encouraged, and quietly made a profound impact on their Christian lives marriages and the bringing up of their children. Even though he's not with us anymore and I never met him personally makes we want to be a better Christian man.

Bob was a member of my church when I was a child. I always remember how he and Debbie would share the communion cup each Sunday and as they did it, he would look at her with such love in his eyes. I knew I always wanted a husband to look at me that way.

Mr Utley was my High School Chorus and Oklahoma History teacher while at Fox. I loved playing the piano for him. I have thought of him often during the past years. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Bob was in my life for the past 20 years and helped my husband and I through rough times in the early years. He truly was a good man, an inspiration to all of us. Much love to Debbie, Karyn and the rest of the family.

Debbie/Karyn/Family... We are deeply saddened by Bob's passing. He had a profound influence on many people of all ages. He will be missed. My prayer for you: The LORD bless you
and keep you; the LORD make his face shine on you and be gracious to you;
the LORD turn his face toward you
and give you peace.” (Numbers 6:24-26)

I met Bob through one of my dearest friends. Bob and his wife stood faithfully by my friend during a really difficult time. To know Bob was to love him. I'll miss his wit and wisdom very much.

Bob and I use to work together developing employment opportunities and accommodations for the Blind. He was blessed with so many talents. We had many conversations between “us girls” as he used to call it. What a great man who truly made a difference in so many lives. He will be missed dearly and will always have a place in my heart. I look forward to being greeted in Heaven by Bob because I know he is there serving the LORD with a gentle heart.

I went to college with Bob; sang in Chorale and Chorvettes with him. He was a great guy. The world will miss him. We sometimes played pinocle till early in the morning, even made road trips to museums in Tulsa from Durant. May God welcome him with open arms. Rodney Avant
