I hope this message reaches Diane.
My condolences to  you and your family,  this is Lorraine Ioerger, I am sorry for your loss, we shared alot of  good times in the 70!s.  I saw your family posted a pic of me Ryan (as a baby now 44) and Randy,  
Diane you can find me on FB, hope you are well.

I am thankful for having Bob as a friend these past 10 years.  He will always be missed.  He was one of the most honest,caring, and sincere people I have known And I will remember him as one of my dearest friends.  We always had fun when he would come down to Newport Beach and we would order a pizza and play Outlaw Golf on Play Station for a couple of hours which he loved to play.  It took him a while to hit the ball straight...... but once he got it down he loved the game.  Also I would get a laugh out of  him getting a startled when we would watch scary movies.  His reactions were pretty funny.  He was my buddy.  
There was never a time that he was not there to help if I needed someone.  Always helped me move, or put together furniture or mount a flatscreen TV to the wall.  He knew he could rely on me as well.
I will miss watching for his truck to come down the street so he could find parking.  Good times.  I was not able to attend the funeral because of my work
but i am so happy to be able to express my condolences thru this guest book especially to Brian and the rest of the family.  He has left some happy memories for me. Thank you Bob for being a part of my life and Thanks to the family for the beautiful slideshow of photos.

Sincerely,
Dd

This website means the world to me! To be able to view the photos once again and see my friend as he was... is such a blessing! Along with the service Thursday. I know Bob would be over joyed to have that beautiful service and it really was! Thank you. 
 Bob and I were very close friends for the past four years or so. He and I spent a lot of time talking about deep things including this time. It wasnt something he planned this soon but knowing he wasnt afraid brings me comfort as i hope it does you. 
He was so kind and had such an easy way about him. You couldnt help but like him and although his voice might throw you off, he had a gentle way about him. This is why i found so much comfort in our relationship. There was no strange pressure that most men and women have but  instead, just a true and honest friendship and one that I'll hold dear to my heart forever. 
I'll never forget even the more recent times we shared hanging out in Newport Beach and watching the boats cruise by around sunset. We also recently watched the bacholtertte (he wasnt a big fan-haha) but we laughted alot i recall. We walked my dog while talking a few months ago and everytime my little dog would see Bob... or his his voice she would get so happy-- she just loved him! 
My friend Bob knew I loved him and I wish he wouldve called me but he is at peace now and I have no doubt I will get to see him again! For now, I will never forget him, I will love him forever, and I am SO grateful to have shared some of my life with his life here. 
Love Always, Paula
