Mr. Bare was such a sweet man. What a storyteller! We purchased our four wheeler from him last year. We stayed and talked for hours. He gave me one of his handmade creations from his shop and gave my husband all kinds of tools before we said our goodbyes.
Felt like family from that day on… he will surely be missed!! Prayers for the family.

So sorry for your loss. Mr. Bare was a fantastic friend and neighbor. Our children greatly enjoyed fishing in the pond and my wife and I love watching the sun set over the pond. Mr. Bare would always feed the fish every morning as soon as it was light, except during the winter. And he was always willing to help out his friends and neighbors. Our family loved Mr. Bare. He will be greatly missed.

We are so sorry to hear of the loss of Mr. Robert. We know that it is hard for those left behind yet a blessed relief from a life of pain for Mr. Robert. He will be greatly missed. He was so sweet and nice when he would visit at the store. He even made us a gift, a necessary accessory to our front counter. We will never forget him and his kindness. May God comfort you with the assurance that he will always be part of your life as long as you live and in the memories of those he has touched along life’s highway.

Robert will ever be remembered as a dear friend. Funny with colorful stories, we'd hang around his shop for hours. What a hard worker ! And if you knew him, he'd do anything to help you. A very talented, inventive man,...he could build anything. We miss him now, but have so many memories. I know we'll rejoin in Heaven, with all new stories.

I am so sorry to hear of Robert's passing. Life threw him some pretty tough punches, but he just kept on punching back. He was so kind and generous with a quick wit and sparkle in his eye. He will be missed. You have earned your rest Robert. I know Jesus was waiting with open arms.

Robert was so loved by all. If you knew him, he would do anything for you, or just sit down & talk. He's a master story teller, & probably so still, in Heaven. He had such colorful & interesting ones. He's a master builder & inventor. Hard work never slowed Robert. We shall see one another again.

While Robert is in Glory in Heaven & rejoined with his Loved ones, we on this mountain will miss him profoundly. How many times we have passed his house and said, “there’s Robert working again”. We cherish pieces of his woodwork he made just for us. His yard always kept beautifully. We will miss buying him tamales at Christmas. As he told us, “I am a connoisseur of tamales .” We will miss you Robert, “Till we meet again in Heaven!.”
