Daysi, Bob's service was very touching and meaningful. You picked wonderful photos for the video, and your tribute to him was just perfect. He is loving you from Heaven as all your family and friends are loving you here.

I will always remember growing up with Bob in Boy Scouts & later having the fortune of working with him in the 146th Sig Bn, Florida Army National Guard.  Bob was one of mentors in my military career.  Prayers for you Daysi.

Daysi and Family,  I was so sorry to hear about Bob's passing.  He was loved and respected by so many. I will keep the family in my prayers. God Bless. JoAnn Brashear

I am so sorry for your loss. God gives us someone to share our life with but the time is never long enough. The blessing is that the good memories never diminish they only grow stronger as time goes onand the blessings of continued generations are what we have to hold on to. May God give you and the family peace in knowing that Robert is with him and joy in knowing you will see him again.

I will always remember growing up with Bob and looking up to him for his leadership in Boy Scouts and later in life having the good fortune of his leadership again & mentoring me in the 146th Sig Bn, Florida Army National Guard.  So sorry for your loss Daysi.

Thelma and Jeanie,
It seems like yesterday Bobby, Derek, and I were riding our bikes down Coulée Ave on the way to Derek's pool passing Bob, Lonnie, and Jack standing grouped discussing politics. I just don't have the words to express the loss, only the memories of a better, care-free time full of laughter and hope for a bright tomorrow. You have always been in my thoughts through the years. I am a better person for having the honor of being exposed and influenced by this man of integrity early on in my life.

Our thoughts and prayers with you Daysi and the entire Ponsler family.   big hugs and love to all



May God give all of you peace that passes all understanding during this most difficult time.....May you find some comfort in your wonderful memories and know that you were blessed to be a part of his life. Praying for you.

Inseparable as kids growing up together, we went different ways after school.  But I will always remember our young lives and the many, many fun things we did as kids.  I am deeply saddened by the loss of my friend of 60 years and will always keep the memories we shared of those times together on Coulee Avenue and beyond.  God bless him, Thelma, and his family.

Daysi, Praying for God's comfort for you and your family.

Mrs. Thelma and family, I can tell you that I honestly know how you feel and pray that God will give you peace and rest during this time. I remember such good times at Hyde Park all of us together.

Jeanie I am so sorry for your loss. God bless you and the rest of the family during this time and always. Love and prayers.

My Thoughts and prayers are with you in time of your sorrow
 Rip 
Robert

Aunt Thelma & family, 
Our hearts ache for all of you at Bob's sudden death.  The last time we were at your place, Bob noticed immediately that Roy was having trouble with the foot rests on his wheel chair.  He took the wheel rests to the garage and fixed them; others had tried unsuccessfully but could not fix them.  Bob took care of the problem quietly and quickly.  He was a special person.  We shall all miss him.  Our love & prayers,  Roy & Mary Kaye
