It´s hard to believe it´s been 10 years since Bob passed away. Bob was always there for his friends. He helped me though some difficult times. I miss him and think of him often. He was truly a remarkable man. Loved you Bob may you rest in peace

Bob was a friend from day one when I started on the police department.He was a friend, partner and mentor.
He helped me though many a trying time in my life.
Even though I moved away I still keep in contact with him talking about old times and catching up on family and friends.
Bob I will miss you as will so many other people in this world.You always put a smile on my face.
Rest in Peace Buddy.

I was really touched by the service for my Uncle Bob. The love in the room was very evident. He was always great to me and of course made me laugh. I always enjoyed talking about the Cardinals with him and my Grandpa Jerry. Even though Bob and my grandpa were different in many ways they were both two great men. Each of them had such a kind heart and were always there with a helping hand. They both had a way to make every situation better and always make people comfortable. I miss and love them both.

From the age of two I have been blessed with the most amazing Dad that a girl could have. He may have never gotten the Marriage"gig" perfected but being a father and a grandfather was something he mastered. I often joke that he pioneered the "no child left behind program" because even when a marriage failed, once he let a child into his heart he NEVER let them go.....Dad loved his kids and grand kids unconditionally, he made it a point to never miss a birthday, his kids or his grand kids.... Yes, even at the age of 43 and much protest, every December I received a birthday card and a $25 check :-)
He was a good man.... A man who always wanted nothing but the best for his family and did everything he could to ensure their happiness.... It warms my heart to know that he found his way to Lighthouse Baptist Church and that someday I will see him again in Heaven. Whenever we discussed the inevitable, he always said " my bags are packed and my reservations are made, I know where I am going and I am at peace with that" I cannot express enough how much comfort that brings to me, I LOVE YOU Dad.... Thank You for loving me without limits and for being the most AMAZING grandpa to my children!!!!! See you in Heaven<3 - Love Amy

I met Bob at a party at my fiance Howard's house - that was 33 years ago. Bob was our neighbor at Beau Jardin and our kids grew up together. Our families shared holidays, family picnics, babysitting and travels. My favorite memory: when he drove up to our house in his police car with lights and siren going during my nursing school graduation party - he scared the living daylights out of the guests - all our neighbors thought it was a raid! Bob was one-of-a-kind, always had a smile and a joke. He will be missed.

Bob, it was fun here in the offices with you at Lighthouse. It was amazing to see you serve the Lord in your later years. Thank you for all you did here. I'll miss our Wednesday lunches and all the stories and jokes you shared...5 times each. I'm sure you just had a quick comeback for that...from Heaven. I'll see you when I get there. Don't talk their ears off!!

I can't begin to tell you all the precious memories I have with Bob. He was truly a wonderful person to be around.
Bob would be my "Exectutive Assistant" every Wednesday at Lighthouse Baptist Church...he did that free for charge for several years. I would cut his pay or double it depending on his response to whatever was going on.
One morning the phone rang and I heard him talking and finally said, I'll get pastor Keith. It wasn't long until I heard him fall and the whole office staff came running. He had lost his balance and fell back and hit the metal filing cabinet and put a dent in it. After he sat up and regained his composer, I told him "that if he was going to die, to please do it at home and not here at church." He got a good laugh about that for a long time.

I have read many great things about Bob here and in every entry it has mentioned his humor, my favorite story of him is when my sister Traci went to his house and her car was acting up when she had pulled in the drive way he asked what was wrong and Traci replied i don't know i think its over heating or something he told her to hold on he would get his tool box, Traci's reply "Dad you have a tool box? What's in there a platinum card?" Now we know were she got her sense of humor..... hugs and kisses to my sister's. I love you all Traci, Amy, and Anna.

Bob was apart of my life for 42 yrs. We had combination of kids that were "yours, mine, and ours". Bob was a wonderful father to all of them . They were all "his" kids. He will be remembered for his great sense of humor and an uncommon wit. He is, and will be, missed by all whoever came into contact with him.

Bob worked with us at Dillard's Northwest Plaza for years,we all loved his sense of humor...I remember one time,I was in the beauty shop getting a perm and he took a picture of me,he got a good laugh out of that. Bob we will all miss you. Beth Barrow and the Northwest Plaza Gang.......

I was very saddened to hear of your loss. My dad worked with Bob for many years. Bob was one of the few if not the only county cop that showed up at my dad's funeral years ago. He was the nicest guy around! He always had a smile on his face and a word of encouragement for all of us teenagers in Maryland Heights. I will always remember his smiling face with fondness. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends at this difficult time. R.I.P. Bob, you will be sorely missed by all who were blessed to have met you.

Mr Hite was a good man with a great sense of humor. He will be deeply missed by all of his family and friends. He is now happily walking among all the angels who have sadly left us before him. "Psalm 30:5 says that weeping may endure for a night, but I know joy is coming in the morning." Rejoice in all of the great memories and what a great life he led. Thoughts and prayers go out from my family to the entire Hite family. All my love.

Bob was a person that never knew a stranger. He always brought joy and laughter into the room when he entered. He will be missed here on earth but heaven gained another angel. My heart and prayers go out to all of those affected by his departure.

"I knew Bob for 52 years. We were married, divorced, then friends. He loved our 2 sons and 3 grandchildren. I will remember his kindness and concern during my cancer treatment. I'm sure all who knew him will miss him." Freda Hite (St. Louis, MO)

Bob was the father of my friend of 20 years. He was always kind to me and knew how to make us laugh. My love and sympathy goes out to the whole Hite clan. From my own experience of losing my father I know how tough it is. Time goes on but that hole is always there. It's best to fill it with all the great memories of a great man. To Robyn,all of his other children and all the grand children I send all my love to you.

My dad was an incredible man, respected by many and loved by all who knew him. He was such a kind and fun loving dad. I have many memories that i will forever hold close to my heart. me and many of my friends growing up will always remember him picking us up from grade school and driving us around in his police cruiser, and we thought that was the coolest thing ever. he was always ready and willing to put a smile on anyone's face. I love my dad very much and will miss him forever. RIP Daddy, i love u....

He was a part of my life for 34 years; friend, husband, father of my children. Even though we haven't been married for a number of years, I still feel like I lost a little part of myself with his passing. He was definitely a force of nature and I know he is in heaven shaking hands with God (and Elvis) right now. On Saturday we will be celebrating a life well lived.
