Just learned about Bob's passing and cannot express how sorry we are to hear the news.  :-(

We met Bob through online groups (freecycle & gardening), but also had the pleasure of meeting him in person on a few occasions. Through those brief meetings, we learned how much he loved gardening, camping, his grandkids, the rest of his family and his friends. His loss will be felt by the whole community.

I've uploaded a photo taken at one of the garden group potlucks...it's from 6/02/12; you can even see Bob's  VW in the background.   :-)

Sincere regrets to all of his family & friends.

Carolyn, Bob & Murph

My thoughts and prayers for the family! I’ve known Bob for many years via computer for about 30 years. I’ve been texting the past 2 days because I hadn’t heard from him. I’m so sad. Praying for the family 

We are so sorry!  We had no idea.  We met Bob online and have been friends ever since, sharing some of the same interests.  Lorraine Truitt and Ronnie Norman

I  remember when my Aunt Peggy and Uncle Sam came to live with us for a little while why they looked for a place to stay. We had  so much fun with them. We had a four bedroom one bath home for thirteen children and four adults and a lot of love . Bobby was the second of the five boys and his parents were my favorite aunt and uncle. Bobby will be missed from our whole family.RIP Bobby I love you until we meet again. Jane

Bobby was my cousin and as kids growing up we were inseparable. We were the same age and our families always spent time together. I have so many fond memories of our times together and remember how excited he was when his wife first became pregnant with their first child. He loved kids so he was so looking forward to becoming a father. After we got older and all moved on he still kept in touch with me. When he was getting ready to become a grandfather he called to let me know and you could just hear how proud he was. Bobby was a family man who enjoyed the simple pleasures in life, for him family meant the world. I love you cousin and will never forget you. You will be missed greatly. You now join your family in heaven, till we meet again. Rest In Peace.
