Bob was the best big brother. I remember when, as a young boy, he accepted Christ as his Lord and Savior and he lived his life accordingly. He had a quiet, strong and genuine nature which exemplifies and honors our native Chickasaw heritage. He was a star basketball player for the Morenci Wildcats in 1954/55. I was so proud to be "Mac's sister." I have these memories, but I will miss him until I see him again. My love and prayers to Frances, Steve, Richard and our extended families.

Bob was the best big-brother. I remember when he accepted Christ as his Lord and Savior and he lived his life accordingly. He was kind and genuine and had the quiet strong nature of our native Chickasaw heritage. He was a star basketball player at Morenci High School. I think one of his first loves was Sunny, a beautiful German Shepard who was his partner when he was an MP in the Army. Bob taught me so much just by being the wonderful person that he was and I will cherish every memory of him. My love and prayers are with Frances, Rich and Steve and all the extended family.
