We had many fun times togther we will never forget. He will be missed and we want all of you to know our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.

A gut punch and a 'how you doin'? was what I always got when I saw my Uncle... and I looked forward to it, he was a great guy... Hangin' out with the Sutters are some of my most vivid childhood memories... always looked forward to it, always had a great time... it's just a shame he didn't make it to this years Thanksgiving Day football game, I'm almost sure that's how he would have preferred to go out.

One way or another he was a great guy and he'll be missed... and to my Aunt and two cousins... our thoughts are with you guys, truly sorry for your loss.

Bob's bigger-than-life Spirit has left an emptiness in the hearts of those he met travelling through this life. Along with his giant personality was an equally gentle caring Soul. Peace and sympathy to those he leaves behind who love him. Ride on, my friend; travel with the wind; but please return from time to time to gently touch our shoulders.

Melodee, please know that our thoughts and sympathies are with you, your family and your extended families at this terribly difficult time. We are devastated too. Bob was a wonderful person, filled with kindness and a humor that always made me laugh. I always appreciated his belief in me when he offered me my first art commission after I graduated from art school (Winter 1987). He will never be forgotten. In time, you will understand that his love continues forever, undiminished by death. Love heals all.
