Bob and I have been friends since grade school, as young men we shared many good times, bowling teams and many golf games, as family men we shared dinners out, weekend trips and more golf. I was very proud of Bob's accomplishments in life and proud to be his friend. Nancy and I will always keep Bob in our hearts and think of him often. God Bless you and the boys.

You are the most courageous people I know. The love and strength you have shared with each other through these times is an inspiration to me as a daughter, a wife and a mother. You are truly a legacy to everything that Uncle Bob was and will continue to be to all of us.

This is indeed a very sad day...I have lost my dear brother in law. I will be forever blessed for having you touch my life. I am so thankful for all the laughs, the fun camping trips, and the wonderful roll model you have been for Jim and Jarett. You lived your life by a code of moral values...you treated people fairly and honestly. When you gave your word you kept it. You are a man of honor. This is indeed a sad day..."Say not in grief he is no more, but live in thankfulness that he was."
Bob Bob...you will forever be in my heart...Love, Murry!

Bob (Chowder-Man) was a most honorable man with more integrity than anyone we've ever known. We will always remember his smile, wit, and the love he shared with us. (We'll never forget him in his grass skirt doing the hula, either!) He was truly the best friend we could ever have and will be sorely missed.
With much love and affection,
