Dorothy, Bobby, Donna, Dale and family . Bob was like my 2nd Dad to me and I have many wonderful memories of all our years together , our family camping trips every summer, playing baseball in your back yard, living with Bob & Dorothy when my parents lost their home . It was holiday time when I moved in with their family, they bought me new clothes, boots & shoes and school supplies. Bob had a heart of gold and I will cherish every memory I have of him. I am sorry for your loss and prayers for you all.

Dorothy and family,
There is so much to say about a man of few words. I have good memories of camping,cooking out in the back yard and sleep overs. He was always great with my girls and didn't seem to mind when they wanted to "stay with Dorothy". You are all in our prayers at this difficult time.
Love you all
Rick, Vickie,Erika and Shauna

I am beyond heartbroken...Bob was one in a million, and the heart of our school. Even after he retired, and would come for a visit, everyone would run to give him a hug and say hello. I am truly blessed and honored to have worked with him and more importantly, to call him my friend. I will miss his beautiful smile, his strength, and his wonderful laugh. He fought so hard, for so long. Heaven has certainly gained a amazing angel. Love you Bob, may you rest in peace.

To MY "Uncle Bob"....your smile, your laugh, the shiny new Lincoln you gave me for graduation and you throwing me in the creek...You said it was an accident...but SO many fond memories. I love you dearly and could never forget you...your soft spokenness and kindness. Thank you for all the laughs and teasing. I know you are at peace and on a new journey. You leave a hole in many hearts, but we will always have our memories. Love you, Rest in Peace.
