Some of my earliest memories with my grandpa was from our family vacations in Palm Desert. We used to have so much fun going out to dinner playing in the pool and playing tennis together. When I was young, I used to get up extremely early and run over to my grandpas house and have coffee with him. We would Talk about his past in the army, when he learned to fly his Cessna plane and his swimming pool business. I always loved being with him he always made me feel so important and heard. You taught me so much about being a good listener and asking others questions about themselves. You will be forever missed. I love you so much. We will see you again in heaven someday.

Grandpa Bob, I’m so grateful for the time we spent together over the last few months. I really enjoyed talking with you, admiring the scenery, and watching the dogs play. We have many more memories too - traveling to the desert and beyond, playing cards, laughing, and eating lots of good food. It was always fun visiting you and Grandma when she was with us. Thank you for everything you have done for me and for always being supportive. Your courage and persistence in the face of obstacles will always inspire me. I miss your optimism, good humor, and interesting stories. I love you Grandpa!

The most caring and supportive grandpa I could've asked for; He was very complimentary to me and my family, and his words really carried weight. He had a very generous, encouraging, lighthearted and warm way about him. I am very grateful that he was able to be in my life. Love and miss you grandpa! Thank you for the good memories.

Grandpa, you have filled our lives with so much joy and laughter. Your stories and encouragements always touched me deeply and I could tell you meant every word. Your love for the Lord was so evident and strong by the way you talked about Him and how often you quoted verses and bible stories. One fond memory I recall is when we sat on the couch together drinking coffee and you told me how perfect Matt and I were for each other. You mentioned how much you loved your wife Dolores and that you always thanked the Lord for her. I am inspired by your uplifting spirit. We truly miss you and can’t wait to be together again in heaven! Love you always and forever, 
Sierra, Matt, & Aloe xoxo

My heart breaks over my loss. I enjoyed being a child playing with Dad, working with him as an adult, playing tennis, traveling, and living together for the last five years. Dad was very influential to me and always a gentleman. I have many fond memories of our times together. Dad was a great listener, and I always felt heard by him. My dad was an amazing father, and I learned so much from him. I was proud to be my father's son, but never more than now. I look forward to reuniting with him in heaven, worshiping our Lord and Savior!

I have many good memories of my father-in-law. He was always so happy to see us and his grandchildren. He was generous and loving towards us: taking us on family vacations, out to eat, the zoo and so many fun times in the desert playing tennis, card games and laughing. He loved Jesus and would quote a favorite Bible verse often. He left a God honoring legacy for his family. I miss him.
