I think about you all the time and miss you more every day.  I know mom ,Wendy and John miss you more. You were special to me. I still see you in your pj's on the deck watching the puppies. Maggie , Sam,  Jake, Cali and Harley are with you. We all love you very much!

Dad I’m going to miss you a lot, I’m going to miss doing projects around the house with you, working on the cars like we did but mostly I will miss our fishing days together we always had a good time even if it was a small water hole. I liked spending time with you and I will always cherish those memories. Till we see each other again      I will look after Mom and Wendy.   love you Dad ❤️🎣

Oh Uncle Bob, 
I am going to miss you so dearly. Thank you for loving me like your own daughter. When I lost my dad, you filled that void. Thank you for always caring about my well being and loving me no matter what. You have a very special place in my heart. You are one of the most precious men, I have had the honor to have in my life. I am blessed having you for my uncle and my favorite one, which you already knew.  I will miss our  little talks, when holding my cheeks and saying how you loved me. You have made me a better person by your guidance. I hope you have taken my love with you. Things will not be the same, and that hurts my heart. But I know you are at peace and no longer suffering. I LOVE YOU UNCLE BOBBY!! Rest in peace!!! 


This is more of a letter to my Damn neighbor. I miss you so much. I'm still not over you moving away. The first time I met you and Jane I loved you both. I never imagined you would become my neighbors and my friends. I'll never forget you. You always made me laugh.  Your big blue eyes and your smile. You always looked out for me. I loved coming over to spend time with all of you and all the puppies together. I loved to watch you eat. Your eyes would get so big when you were full and you would rub your belly. There wasn't much you didn't like.  I know you enjoyed your life and loved your family more than anything. You'll never be forgotten. I think of you every day. My memories of you will always make me smile and laugh. I love you so much. Bite me. Damn neighbor. Lol

Robert (I always called him Dad) was such a sweet, humorous and positive man.  He embraced the fun in everything and always had a smile on his face.  He connected with everyone and always made you feel special.  When my kids were preschoolers,  Wendy used to watch them while I was at work.  One day Sean, at age 3, coined Dad with the name of "Clock".  Dad embraced his new name with laugher and came back at Sean, calling him "Beer".  They referred to each other using those names ever since.  Every time I walked into their home for a visit, Dad would ask me, "How is 'Beer' doing?"  I'd go home and tell Sean, "'Clock' was asking about you!"  Dad always had a way of making you smile and he always made you feel like you were important and missed.  I will truly miss him and his way of spreading joy. 

My heartfelt condolences to Jane, Wendy and John - I know you will miss "Bobby" (as I knew him), my cousin.  Thru the years, you always knew Bobby loved his wife and family and was very proud of each one.  He was always so kind and thoughtful.  My memories go back to when I was a little girl - when Bobby walked in, I was always in awe of how light blue and piercing his eyes were!  A Meiler trait for sure!   One of my fondest memories was one snowy❄ Christmas Eve, I was coming down with a cold and Bobby gave my some of his coveted homemade 'Rock & Rye' - it did the trick!  Bobby - I pray you are smiling down on everyone, at peace with no pain   💖  Debra (& John)

I will always remember how uncle bob would tell me what he thought. He always told me when he was disappointed in me or proud of me. He was always there for me when I needed advice. I remember when I was little I would call him aunt Bob and would call aunt Jane Uncle Jane. Haha. I saw home videos not too long ago at Aunt Wendy's house on Christmas Eve and I will always cherish hearing uncle Bob's laugh and voice in those videos. I love you Uncle Bob. 

I believe he was named after my dad.  I remember him showing my son, when he was little, about farting noises.  Johnny thought he was hysterical.  My cousin also thought rock and rye was good for you if you sick.  He was right.  A little of that in hot tea and then you forget how bad you feel.   He always had a good laugh about things.

He got the Meiler blue eyes, too.

We all miss you so much Poppy. We want treats and we need you to play ball with us. We have been looking for you every day. Us boys have been being bad. We have been marking the chair and Daddy has to keep cleaning up after us. We just get so confused because we don’t understand where you are. We love you and miss you Poppy 💔🐾💔🐾💔

Bob was a fantastic person.  Always kind and welcoming.  He was a fantastic father to my niece Wendy and loving husband to my sister Jane.  He also always went out of the way to care for my parents.  You will be sorely missed by all.  God be with you and rest in peace.

My loving  Husband of 58 years was the love of my life. Along with our Daughter Wendy we share so many wonderful memories of a lifetime.  I know he is at peace now with no more pain,and is with our Lord and Saviour. I loved him today, I loved him yesterday,  I will love him tomorrow and for all eternity. Jane Hope Meiler 

I will always remember Bob playing cards with us....he and my Mom always joking.  They even had a crying towel!  Hope your playing cards with my Mom right now!!!!  but no crying.
