Thank you Bob for always being so helpful and teaching me so much about everything.  You always asked me how I knew how to do things and I would say you taught me how. I was your apprentice.  I hope you always knew how much I loved you and appreciated everything you did for me and all of the family.  Thank you for taking care of my mom so well and showing her love.  I know it’s beer thirty all the time where you’re at so drink up and enjoy.  Until we meet again Beebo look after all of us here in this crazy world. Love, Kit 

You loved my grandma unconditionally and accepted our big crazy family as your own. I remember how exciting it was when you and grandma moved to Georgia to be with us. You told us many stories about your life. My favorite was how you born a Hatfield and then became a McCoy, or was it the other way around, either way it didn’t matter it was pretty cool. 

As we grew older you taught us a lot about life, not always with words but by example. You were always fixing or building something in your garage, hence the nickname Bob the Builder. 

You showed us grandkids and great-grandchildren endless love. You even helped babysit when needed. Lil Michael sure enjoyed watching the weather channel and CNN. He even proclaimed that he was going to be a weatherman at the age of 4.

You have lived an amazing 85 years in this  world.  You have seen and experienced so much. Your memory and legacy will continue on.  

Even though we are not able to hug you, we know that you will be watching over us. Thank you for everything.

We love you Grandpa Bob.

Love, 
Brandi, Michael, Skyler, & Lil Michael
