Dear Robert: Each time you would come to mind over the past few years, I would find myself smiling at the remembrance of your laughter and jokes. I still will do that. Thank you for being my buddy.

Bob was one of my dearest friends at Colorado Springs High and I have so many fond memories of him. One special time was our Senior year when Bob was chosen President of our Young Life group and I was privilged to serve with him as V. Pres. along with Barb Newman as Secretary.



Those times are just a few of many Precious Memories of Bob! How I wish that our paths could have crossed more during the years, but since I left the Springs shortly after graduation, that wasn't possible.



So, I'll just thank God for the privilege of

having Bob Deyo as my friend and look forward to seeing him in Heaven and letting him know that I thought he was ONE VERY SPECIAL GUY!
