We loved having Robert has a client at MSC - he always came in cheerfully and was great for our students.  I loved discussing books with him, and will always be greatful for him introducing me the John Sandford books!  I will never forget him!

I always remember hearing him singing and laughing. He was the most amazing person I have ever met in my life. He was a wonderful grandfather and I will miss him dearly. We all will. He will always remain in our hearts forever. I love you Papa.

Dear Dad,
I am so very thankful to have been blessed with you as a father.  You and Mom have both taught me to be a strong person, to stand on my own two feet, to believe in myself and to know that if there is something out there in life that I want, I am more than capable of reaching that goal on my own.   

Thank you for blessing me with the best parts of you, for the daily phone calls, the best quotes, the recipes, the stories and the love.   I will so miss talking to you every day but I know in my heart I still will, just in a different way.   

Thank you for being such a great part of my children's lives.  From the moment each one of them was born you loved them for exactly who they were, took them on so many new adventures and through that time and love you gave so freely, your memory will go on forever.   Oh the stories, the laughter and the blessing of having you in our lives.   Your heaven has to be the most glorious of all and where I will always long to be.
I love you,
Kellie

I could never ask for a better grandfather, he was there since i was born and made it to every sporting event he could always smiling and laughing. he had the kindest heart a man could have always talking to anyone he met stranger or not, i cannot think of a time he did not make someone smile or in fact a time where he wasn't smiling. he was and always will be the man i look up to. he was a great man, a wounderful father to my mom and her siblings, a great husband of 50 yearss to my grandma, an amazing grandfather, and more often than not a reason to smile for the random people he met. love you always grandpa

I am very sad to hear that we lost one of our former Ecolab teammates. Bob had the best demeanor and most wounderful personality I have had the pleasure to come across in a very long time. My thoughts and prayers go ou tto the family.

Dear Stacey and the whole Bustos Gang..  I am so sorry that you are experiencing this loss and this hurt in your hearts!  May you feel the love that we are sending your way.

Dear Gretchen and family,
I am so sorry for your tremendous loss. Try to focus on all of your wonderful memories and what a great husband, father and grandfater he was. Bob was one of "The Good Ones" and I know his laughter will be missed by many. My thoughts and prayers are with you as you go through this day and the many days that follow.

Love Vicki

We didn't get together as friends from H.S until later in life and yet it was like time never passed.  What a great fun-loving and devoted husband and father this dear man was.  He sure loved that chinese restaurant by our house.  Remember when he left his tilly hat at the restaurant in Grandby, Co?  We shared a wonderful time and this dear man is going to be so very missed by all who loved and cared for him.  Love, Tom and Jeanne

Dear Taylor and family , we are so sorry for the loss of your Grandpa. Our thoughts and prayers are with you always.
Love you, 
The  Jensens, 
Ty, Sandy , Katie , Kylie and Camme

Death leaves a heartache that no one can heal.  Love leaves a memory that no one can steal.  In loving memory of a wonderful neighbor and friend.

Gretchen and family,
I join you in your loss.  I know of Bob and of his journey this past year through your sister, Kristen.  She would ask for me to pray for Bob. He fought a good fight.  I now pray for you and your children that your grief will give way to gratefulness & thankfulness as time passes. Blessings to you, Gretchen.  Jayne Covell

Dear Gretchen, and Family, I am so very sorry for your loss.I know how very hard this is. Bob will be missed. I will pray for all of you to find the strength to get threw this. love pam

In memory of a great husband, father and grandfather. He never meet someone he didn't want to say hello to or talk to. Bob touched may people through out the years. I couldn't have asked for a better father in law. He was the best fan we could have ever had at all sporting events for the kids. I will now hear in my mind " blue ball blue ball". No matter who's ball it was it was always ours. The kids and parents loved him. You touched so many and will be greatly missed.

In memory of a fantastic father in law. His loving heart and great sense of family were second to none. He will be missed by all who ever got a chance to know him. He didn't know a stranger and touched many lives. Bob was the best fan you could ever ask for at all the kids sporting event. I will always here in my mind " blue ball blue ball"! No matter who's ball it was it was always ours. Always loved and will never be forgotten.

I only had the pleasure of meeting Bob one time.  I have worked with his Daughter Stacey for 13 years.  Bob was all smiles that day, Stacey had received an award from the the City the day he came to visit the Dispatch Center.  In just one meeting I could see how outgoing and friendly he was.  I can sure tell who Stacey takes after.  Prayers go out to the entire family at this time.

In memory of a special brother-in-law who brought more than many smiles into my life...you will be missed Bob.  I know that Gretchen and your children will now have a guardian angel looking over them.
