Pam and Tavia and Tessa, I just want you to know that I still think about your husband/father. He was my funny cousin and I looked forward to seeing him when we made trips to California. I am still so very sorry for your loss, our loss. I know we will see him again some day. I love alll of you.

Pam, I still think about you a lot and your early age to become a widow. I know you are on a path you never expected to be on at this season of your life. My prayers is that you will remain strong and courageous and carry on as Bob would want you to. I remember Bob as being so funny. I would crack up laughing at his quick humor. And I remember him having a good heart and loving his family beyond description. I know all of you miss him so much. I think about Tavia and Tessa a lot too, having lost their father also at an early age. My prayers are for all of you.

I sat across the aisle from Bob at Franchise Tax Board and spent many years as his co-worker and friend. We shared many stories and he talked so fondly about his family and friends. The workers he sat next to were never bored and always enjoyed his great sense of humor. He is deeply missed and my condolences to his wife, Pam, and the rest of his family.

Pam and family, I just want you to know I am praying for all of you and my heart goes out to you with this tremendous loss of Bob. I always thought of him as my "funny cousin" which goes back to my childhood California trip when I was in the 4th grade. I never saw him again until later as an adult and he always cracked me up with his dry wit and sense of humor. There was never a dull moment around Bob. I know he is sorely missed and life will never be the same. I just want all of you to know that I am praying for your courage and strength during this difficult time. With love, Becky

I did not know Bob, but worked with Pam for years at FTB. I know the heartache you all are feeling. My wish for you is that you may speed through the grief process, so you may remember Bob as the fine man he was, as evidenced by the document here, and smile. Judging by the quote from good 'ol Willie in the last line, it sounds like Bob had a fine sense of humor. My hope for you all is that very soon, you will be able to reflect on all the humor Bob provided through the years, and not just smile, but laugh. My heart goes out to the Troyan Family. My deepest sympathy to you all.

I was in the coast guard reserve with Bob for 5 years. We were good friends and sadly lost contact long ago. There was a small group of us revel rousers including his good friend Harry, Tim, And Rich. We all had sports cars. He was a great guy and had a great sense of humor.
