Gene & I are so sorry that we will not be able to attend Bob's celebration of life!   We are out of town at a conference.   Bob is very much missed by the folks here at Range Property Management.   We miss his smile and his incredible work ethic!   He was a professional and we knew that if Bob was asked to do a job, it was done promptly and was always very well done!

Bob even had a close encounter with a bear hibernating under our building, which he took in great stride.   Made for a pretty remarkable story!

Bob was a great neighbor.  I'm going to miss him.  Bob was always cheerful and willing to help me with advise on my various projects around my cabin.  We chased bears and badgers and enjoyed the turkeys and deer.  I like to think his spirit is still around helping me out when I can't figure out what to do or how to proceed.  
Thanks for everything Bob,
Mike Martens

So I have said it before and I will admit it again, I loved that dude and his faimly. More than they will ever understand. 1982, before I left my neighbors in Dallas and July 2014 my last visit with my best friend. Jean, love you all. Sorry I could not spend more time this past summer with you all.

I really came to know Bob Obele around June 17, 1967 when he married Roxie.  He dunked my head in the toilet on Prospect street that week sometime.  He will be missed.

Jean-- 

My mom and I wish to send our heartfelt condolences to you. I know how hard it's probably been the last many months, as my dad fought the same battle as Bob did. I hope you find comfort in knowing Bob is released of all the pain now. Sending many hugs your way! 

Love,
Steva Bossemeyer

Jean,
Our sincere condolences for your loss of such a wonderful gentlemen. I never incountered anything other than the ""gental"" Bob since you folks moved to Estes. Bob was a part of Estes Park which enhanced our vacation...year after year after year. I'll miss the campfire beers, the Rock Inn beers, and beer's on the deck - less of a trend without Bob.
He was a good friend and always enjoyed my time with him. God blessed Bob, and God bless you.

John & Elaine

Jean so sorry for your loss. I wrote on your facebook but don't know if you saw it. Will be praying for you and your family.

Don Metzner and I loved Bob so very much. We treasure every moment of our 22 year friendship. I have so many wonderful and funny memories with him. I will greatly miss his child like joy over the "" simple "" things in life. His love of nature and animals. It is something we shared. I will miss him hiding and jumping out to scare the crap out of me. And me teasing him about being old...he would always lovingly call me a "" piece of shit "". We have so many great memories of our time with Bob. There's the family you are born with and the family you choose. Bob, Jean Might,, Kim Obele and Will Obele are people we are grateful to have as our chosen family. Our heartfelt sympathy goes to Jean and his children. Bob will live on in our memories. He was a very loved man.

How can I ever forget my first caving experience with Bob and your family.  It was the most exciting and scariest things I have ever done.  All those bats flying around us and crawling through all those tight spaces.  I will also never forget when he used to show us his ""claw"" hand....it was so creepy as a young kid!!  So many fun memories with Bob and Roxie from my childhood.
Love, Sandy Grandstaff Cook

What a lovely obituary.  It captures Bob's personality just beautifully.  Bob took me on my first camping trip(s) and those are some wonderful memories in my life.  I feel like it set me on a path of nature and wildlife appreciation that I might not have had otherwise.  I'm so happy that I got to sit around Bob's campfire.  :)  love you all and looking forward to giving you big hugs.  love, Patti

I first met Bob and Roxie at Kim's birthday slumber party when we were about twelve years old.  Bob and Roxie were both wonderful guests, and Bob made all of us girls laugh all night. I remembering going home and telling my parents how funny he was.
