Allen Todd, Charlie, Billy, I was sorry to see this and that I didn't know sooner. As you well know by now, there are no words that will change or lessen the pain you feel now and forever. It never gets less, you just learn how to deal with it in different ways. Well Gran has all her kids back now, she's feeding Angels cheeseburgers.

My heartfelt thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Giles family. Bob was not only my brother-in-law but a dear friend as well. He was like an older brother to me and I always admired and respected him. Besides his master construction skills and business savvy, Bob was so intelligent and was always fair and generous in all of his business dealings. I learned so much from him in the area of construction and business during the five years I worked for him and even more, being a part of his wonderful family. Bob has a very special place in my heart and I will never forget the impact he has had in my life. Love always!

When I was a 7-year-old boy in 1967 I grew up on Palm drive and Winter Haven. I just wondered if by next door neighbors at the time who I had vague but fond memories of, would of possibly been, The grandparents mentioned in this obituary. My name is Gary Smith and my phone number is 863-838-0890 just wondering.
