It has been my pleasure to have been Bobby's dentist for over 20 years. Always pleasant and fun to be with. We miss you.

Bob has been a very special person in my life and a friend for over 20 years.  I will cherish the memories and lessons he has taught and shared with me. I will miss your barbeque and baked beans.  You always could whip up a fabulous meal which I had the pleasure of enjoying many times.  bob and I trained for the Portland to Coast Relay two years in a row.We shared the same van.He would meet me at 5:00am to train and walk and exercise. he kept me motivated to do my best and always gave me encouragement even during life's hardest challenges. If we had to work a Saturday...He would come in and make us biscuits and sausage gravy..he always looked after us and even years of not working together...He always had my back and I will miss you my dear friend. Soar with the Angels and may you rest in peace...
Much Love to you always, Kathy Olsen

Bob was everyone's friend.  I have so many great memories of the years we worked together at Grinnell.  He knew how to be a leader and support everyone on his team.  What a chef he was.  His Saturday morning biscuits and gravy made working overtime worth it.  No celebration went without his fantastic baked beans.   When we held the first civil war lunch and dress up contest, no surprise Bob won the best outfit with half his face painted yellow and half green for the Oregon Ducks.  He joined the Grinnell team as we trained and walked the Portland to coast rely,  125 miles!  
Above all he was so proud of his daughter and grand daughter.  
Condolence to all of Bob's family.

You will be missed my friend.  We traded wedding attendance and you even helped pick out my wife's rings one late night at Ferguson.  I am a better man for knowing you and I will miss our conversations.   Rest in peace and love from all of us.

If one phrase could define BOB it would be family man,I met BOB first in 1988 working  for a place called ITT Grinnell,in my late twenties us young guys all went out to have a few now and then always inviting  BOB.He would say thank you but I have all I need waiting for me at home,He was very proud to be a husband,father and Grandfather,over the years He truly became  a great roll model of what a happy family man should be.I am  50 now he helped me like so many others to get back on the right path and to find out what true happiness is spending time with and talking or listening to good friends and family making memories for a life time REST in Peace my friend,your friend always Roy Moorhead

I will cherish the vistits and phone calls that we had with Uncle Bobby.  I know he will be missed and my thoughts and prayers are with all of his family and friends.

I have so many fond memories of my Uncle Bobby when we lived together at my Granny's. I remember him always picking at me but he always took me with him when he went somewhere. He had both the heart and the laugh of a giant and to me he was a giant. He will be sorely missed and always remembered! May his soul rest peacefully in the eternal light of God. Uncle Bobby as you read this please tell Mama hello and I love her!!

I have very fond memories of my Uncle Bobby when he was a teenager & throughout his life.  He truly enjoyed life, family & friends.   I will never forget his good nature & his hearty laughter!  May his soul rest in peace.   Love, Tee

Eternal rest grant unto Uncle Bobby, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him.  May the soul of my Uncle Bobby, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Always in our hearts, Debbie & Sammy Bagley
