So sorry to hear about Bob, he was a very close friend of ours for many years. So was Rosemary. They were both very kind, loving and were always there to lend their helping hand to us, and vise versa. We will miss them both very much.
Love Rosalie Cole , Dalton Cole, and Jerry Fitzell

In memory of Bob Pelham. He is much missed by all of our family.

I first met Bob when he stopped to ask us if we wanted a warm ride to our home. We were walking from Ellsworth and pulling a sled filled with grocery bags. The snow was up to our knees and it was freezing cold and snowing like mad. I was so happy to get into a warm cozy ride. We became fast close friends with Bob and Rosemary from that night on. Bob would give the shirt off his back to anyone in need, without any thought of getting anything back from them. He was such a loving, caring person to everyone. I have to chuckle over the way that he and Rosemary bantered back and forth when we played dice with them on many evenings. We just loved to spend time with them. I will truly miss Bob and Rosemary all the days of my life.

Our most sincere condolences to the Pelham family in your time of grief. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Jeff and Cathy- I hope the happy memories you have of your father can over shadow the sadness you feel. ~ Bill and Kim Quick

on behalf myself, my wife, and my family-
i would personally like  to thank everyone for the kindness you have shown us during this most difficult time in our lives.  dad i love you and i always will.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief.  May your memories bring you comfort.

He was a great grandpa. He was always there from day one to help me out. He would always take me where ever I wanted to go. He always had his Cadilac, and pretended to be a nascar driver. :] He loved to spend his time out side. I remember him always mowing the grass and cutting down my grandma's flowers and he would tell her they were weeds. She would always yell at him and he would just laugh. He would always bend over backwards for anyone. I love him lots and always will. Its hard to see him leave but i know he is in heaven with my grandma watching over every one of his kids and grandkids. I'll always remember two spoon fulls of ice cream to one spoon full of melon. I love you always Your Granddaughter Kim.

He will be sorely missed. He was a great husband, stepfatheer, and endearing grandpa. He loved all his grandchildren very much. One of my childrens fondest memories is (making malts or eating ice cream) one of bobs favorite things to do. He loved his kids and talked fondly of them often. As a step parent i can honestly say when you needed to talk there was always a ear and never  nothing but a kind word about to say about anyone. Thanks for letting us be a part of your family.  May God bless you all and help you get through  this loss.    with love,  Jane causey and family

Dear Bob's family. I was lucky enough to meet Bob in July when I moved to Cedar Place where he lived. He was always a very friendly person and spoke each time we saw each other. Other times we would chat for a few minutes. He will be missed by everyone who knew him here at Cedar Place,  Sincerely, Bobbi Annis
