I was so socked to hear of Bob's passing. I so regreat I missed his servises. I only received the news of Bob's passing on Monday after the funeral. Bob was a life long friend from church, boy scouts, explorer scouts, sports, school, rabbit hunting from the old Mercury convertible, and life. Over the years I have seen Bob around town and and always had great vists with him remembering our past (trips, sports teams, camping, school, and our famililes). What a genuine great, great, person and brother. I so regreat I did not know of his last days so I could have said how much I loved him and said so to him face to face. With all my love and concern for Debbie and the family. ALL MY MOST SINCER
LOVE TO A TRUELY GREAT FRIEND.

My heart goes out to his family and friends.

Nine years ago when I first started with the Reno/Sparks Association of REALTORS Bob was very supportive of the scared new employee. I will always remember him with heartfelt gratitude.

I'm so saddened by Bob's passing, and my heartfelt sympathies and prayers go out to all of his family. He was one of the most wonderful people that I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. I've worked with Bob during the past 15 years, and he was always such a pleasant, sweet man, and never had a bad thing to say. I will miss him terribly, as I'm sure everyone who knew him will miss him too. My deepest sympathy to you all. Sincerely, Nancy
