Carol & Joey, I am so sorry for your loss. Bob was a great guy. He kept me informed all things going on. Will be missed by a lot of friends.I will keep you in my prayers.

To Roberts family, please accept out deepest condolences at this very difficult time. I met Bobby about 20 years ago and I must say, he hasn't changed one bit. Gentle, caring and funny, Bobby would always keep us coming back (but not for his burritos)way too big to finish.

Be strong now and forever, for Bobby is looking down on all of us in this, his final resting place.

I didn't ever meet cousin Bobby but I have heard lots of nice things about him from my sister Precy and brother Bert.
To Carol and Joe, and all who knew or worked with cousin Bobby, please accept my deepest sympathies.
May he rest in peace!

Carol- I am so very sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to you. Bobby was such a good friend to my late husband Jim Enright. I am sure they are both recounting their good times together now. Anne Enright

Carol and Joey, I am deeply saddened for your loss. Bob was a great guy. I will miss the talks we had on the phone.I thought of him as part of my family even after Joey. My heart goes out to you both.I will definitely miss him

Dear Gonzales family:

I am very sorry to hear about Bobby O. You are in my thoughts and prayers during your time of sorrow.

I will always remember the times when I came to the bar and Bobby would laugh about my little arms.

I will miss you Bobby O.

Popeye

Carol,
I was shocked and saddened by the news. One of my best memories of Bobby is him saying "what I am, an orphan?" That's the way I'll remember him. Carol, you're in my prayers.

Please accept my deepest sympathies.

Carol,
Please accept our Deepest Sympathy, dear friend! May God's Blessings and our Prayers help you through this difficult time and help you to cope with your loss!

Donna & Kathy

My Deepest Sympathy Carol so sorry to hear about your loss!
Your High School Classmate, Camille

Carol and Joe,
I am very sorry for your loss. Bob was a great guy. I will miss him very much. I never told him but I often took advice from things he said during our conversations. His opinion was important to me.

Carol and Joey,
I am so sorry for your loss. It was a great shock to all of us who knew Bobby - this just wasn't the way we figured he'd go out. I have many fond memories of working for Bobby both at Southport and Broadway. Cruz and I have been sharing stories all week - laughing, crying and thinking. I believe he's raising a toast right now with Dawn, Christine and Cowboy.

We are keeping you and your families in our prayers. Bobby will be missed.

Deb During Brown (and Kevin Brown too)

bob was a good friend thanks for all the good times god bless kevin the painter

I would like to start out by saying that I am a former longtime bartender that worked at O'Lanagan's on Montrose. I am shocked and saddened by the sudden loss of Bob. I guess I just took it for granted that he would always be there.

I was pretty young when I started there and my first impression of Bob was that he was mean and didn't like me; but the longer I worked there and got to know Bob, I realized that underneath his gruff exterior was a kind and caring person -- especially if you really needed help. Not to mention that Bob could be really funny (even though he didn't mean to be)! Many, many times the customers and I would laugh till we cried at some of the things Bob said or did. I will always have fond memories of working at O'Lanagan's.

One of the things I am saddest about is that I won't be able to tell Bob once I finally become a Court Reporter. Bob was one of a handful of people that truly believed that one day I would become a Court Reporter (I was attending school while working there). Although one of his favorite sayings was I'd be eligible for Social Security by the time I passed the test to become a reporter (joking of course).

As many bartenders before me and, I'm sure, many after me, I quit working at O'Lanagan's after starting to date one of the former customers. Bob's motto was boyfriends and bartending do not mix, and he sure was right! I really regret not coming to visit more often after I quit. Never in a million years did I think I would never see Bob again.

So let this be a lesson to all of us. Keep in touch and be sure to call and visit family and friends often because they can be taken away from us at any time.

Bob, may you rest in peace. You will be greatly missed!!

Carol and Joe, there is no words to describe what you are going through with the loss of cousin Bob. He will be surely missed deeply. We are with you in your time of grief and sadness. He will always be remembered as that very loving and kind hearted person. We will always keep you in our prayers and may cousin Bob rest in peace in his eternal place.

May all remember the hopes & dreams you instilled in your friends. By friends anyone who came thru your doors, you were quick with wit & smiles. Cheers to the laugher and good times which brought us back again and again. You were a light to our fair community and now we say good night our dear friend it's closing time and you have to go home to your final resting place in our hearts.

Joe and Family

We are so sorry for your loss. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

Tom, Ashli, and Kaylee Newfield

"Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For you are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me."

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
