A man worth spending time with...worked with Bob Hector in Clarksville Memorial Hospital ER many years. There I grew to admire his spirit, humor and character. He and Linda are quality people! I considered it a privilege to have known him and become his friend. Clarksville benefited by his high quality delivery of healthcare. He was the first physician assistant employed in our ER. He won over the medical staff, nurses, and patients! I will miss him and cherish the time spent with him in Clarksville, Billings MT, and Reno NV. He was a great American and a great Army Veteran who served his Country bravely.

My heart is heavy knowing that he's gone. It's just an empty space between my brain and heart that remains unconnected. So much I would had said to him, a hug to say I love you dad! I will keep what memories are mine and remember the man he was. He was my dad, a no nonsense dad, a hard to love dad but very much loved indeed! He will be missed and thought of often.
