Hard to believe it's been 14 years. He was a good guy and would be proud of all his family has accomplished.

Bob was like an older brother to me, always watching out for me - his family like an adopted family whom I care for very much and my heart goes out to you. I will always have the wonderful (and funny) memories of the good times I had with Bobby & his family. He was loved by many and will be missed very much.

the inimitable laugh, the mischevious twinkle in his eyes--and so much more..his genuine kindness,generosity of spirit,sense of family and community--all this made him simply and truly a Good Man--a blessing to all who knew him--the Westside, indeed the world,was a better place for him being in it.My thoughts and prayers are with Nancie and their children--may they find peace and comfort--and may we all honor and celebrate his life. till we meet again..

Bob was like a dad to Luke, and I'll always be grateful to him for that. Like Bailey said, Bob was the neighborhood dad. What a wonderful testament to him. He made a big difference in the lives of everyone who knew him. God bless you, Nancie, Casey, Kyle, and Katelyn. You're all in my prayers.
