We all are so sorry to hear about this. None of us around here knew where you took off to. I still see the product of that beautiful boy you had. Give those cowboys a run up there both of you. I remember how you loved those grandbabies but you're watching out for them I'm sure. And Thank You for your service.

You were such an awesome little brother. I am gonna miss all our talks on the phone, your smile, & your gentle touch. I love u so very much!!!
Our thoughts and prayers to all of Bobs friends and family. We will miss him dearly..Bob was always kind and helpful to me and those who worked with him .
May God give you all peace. I love you Leslie, Dwayne and kids. Rest in Peace Bob, you will be missed by so many. You must have really been a good dad because you raised a wonderful daughter that we are so blessed to have in our family.
Our sympathy is with and your family at this mournful time. I grew up in Manhattan with Anne, Bob's sister. I only met Bob a few times but he was always nice. Leslie, you were not even a teenager when we knew you. May the memories of your good times with Bob carry you through this time of healing. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.
I remember spending time at my sister Dene's house in Zeandale when my mom would leave town for short visits and swimming in your small child sized inground pool. Bob's room changed from the smaller one at the top of the stairs to the one at the end of the hall overlooking the drive.
I got to know Leslie when she was living with her grandmother at her house on Bluemont Street. She was always so happy when you both were there with her. Just wish i could have seen more of you guys when I still lived in Kansas, but it seems like we always will have more time later to do that. We need to take the time now instead of waiting to connect to those who share their lives with us and let them know how important they are. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers
I am going to miss you so much, our phone calls and our get togethers. I love you!!!!!!
We are so sorry for your loss. Bob was a great man. Prayers for all.

Papa Bob will be sincerely missed. There was never any doubt about his love for his family through his gestures and the twinkle in his eyes. Thanks for the memories, and the wine through the last few years Papa Bob. We love you always!!! Jim, Alexis, and a Hunter Helen.
Bob will forever be missed. He had a laugh that would fill a room and you knew he meant it. One of my favorite memories of Bob is how happy and proud he was at your wedding, Dwayne and Leslie. He sure made some sweet wine!

Our wonderful memories of Bob will never die for sure!
Sorry Leslie and family for your loss. It is so hard to lose a parent there is so many times we want to go back and talk to them. Prayers for you.
Always fun & had the most love for animals. He loved to tease and make people laugh. Bob was someone you could always count on in an emergency situation. He loved his family and enjoyed life to the fullest. He will be missed, but I'm sure he will be looking over his loved ones and trying to find a way to still tease them. You & Bill have fun together.
Pam

I am holding all of the family in my heart and am sending you all the love and caring I can. I will miss Bob's happy smiles and the loving easy manner he always had. He will be missed so much. He was a wonderful nephew and I remember all the fun we all had together. Hold each other closely at this tough time, remembering we are all there for each other, always. Aunt Joyce
Rest in peace Bob. You will be missed.
Prayers for you and your family Leslie!
