I knew Bob from when he worked in the Data Center back at the Southwest Region and our paths crossed again when we worked in Alpharetta, Ga.. He had a terrific way about him and could even put a smile on your face on a dreary Monday morning . My condolences to his family at this most difficult time . Bob was an outstanding fellow and he will truly be missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him .

Dear Kathy and Breanne,

I am so sorry for your loss. Your dad was the greatest. We spent many a time going to lunch and sharing good moments. He always talked about his family. I will miss him dearly; his laugh, his smile, the jokes we shared, and everything about him. My heart goes out to you both and your entire family. May your Dad rest in peace. Take care.

I will always love and will miss you everyday.

Kathy and Breanne,
I am sorry for your loss. Uncle Bob will be missed by everyone that knew him. So I wasn't able to attend. I send my love. 
Love always

I hated to hear hear the news that my long-time buddy, Bobzilla, passed away. He was such a good guy. Always had a smile on his face and something nice to say. I know that he had health issues, but you just never expect this to happen. I will remember him forever.

Dear Kathy and Breanne,
Your dad is one of the good guys! Smart, kind, upbeat, fun, interested in others, and happy. Always joking around, with that little twinkle in his eye. Bob enjoyed giving gifts like "the best muffins you have ever had!" and sending cards with his beautiful hand written messages. He looked forward to and enjoyed every social event that included you two. He loves you so and is so proud of you. And Madisyn is the apple of his eye. We will always remember his smile. Your mom once said that whenever trouble came, Bob would reach for his bible. Thanks, Bob, you are a gift from God. What a tremendous loss we grieve. But as sad as we are, we are happy that our dear friends Bob and Pam are celebrating together in heaven. Thank you, Breanne and Kathy, your beautiful tribute brings back so many wonderful memories. Always stay close and remember, love never ends. 
Love, 
Tom and Mary Beth

I was shocked to hear of Bob's passing.  I too have known Bob since the days on the Hodgen playground.  I spent many an hour playing softball, basketball, poker and table hockey with Bob, Jerry, and Gary.  Those were the days.  As childhood friends do everywhere, we graduated from school; some of us went to work and some of us went into the military.  All of us moved out of the area and farther and farther apart.  Please make it a point to renew old friendships.

My dad was amazing. He always put his family first. His friends he always held close to his heart. Tell mom hello! I know you two miss each other! So many things I want to say still! I LOVE MORE words can ever express. Your the rock for the family. I am thankful I have Kathy.  Please know how much I love you and RIP

I met Bob at Western Electric on Dorsett Rd and he always had a great sense of humor. We used to go to lunch at Creve Coeur Park and he would always kid me about wolfing down two hamburgers in a half an hour.  I won't forget the float trip with we took with Kelly brothers. We were both confused about how a paddle worked but we made it to the end. And again thanks for the Gerry and the Pacemakers album I think I wore it out.  Sam Nicholson

Bob and Pam met at our house and it was love at first sight.  When Bob and Jerry were much younger Jerry sent Bob a birthday card with a single dollar in it.  When Jerry's birthday came around the card and dollar was sent back to him with his name scratched out and Bob's name written in.  They sent the same card and same dollar to each other for many years.  It is memories that keep a person's spirit alive.

Our prayers are with you and we hope that God walks with you during this time.

Bob has been one of my best friends for 44 years.  I will miss talking to him and exchanging stories of when we worked together.  Back then our group did all sorts of activities on our time off.  We golfed, played softball and roller hockey together.  Bob and I carpooled together for years.  My wife and I were at the hospital when Kathy was born.  I have a heavy heart at his passing yet rejoice that he is with dear Pam again.  The last words that Bob and I said to each other was always "God bless" so I say them again for the last time "God bless".

May your memories of the wonderful times you shared with your loved one comfort you and your family, today and always.

So sorry to hear of Bob's passing. I've known Bob since grade school in St. Louis .Bob was my best man in my wedding in 1968. What a great guy. He will be sadly missed.

                                                           Gary HALBROOK ( Perry, mo. )

My condolences to the family. I grew up with Bob in south St Louis and knew Bob since grade school at Hodgen and then on to McKinley high school. We were in the Boy Scouts together as well. Never knew a better man. Wish i had stayed in touch. My accept my sympathies.

So sad to hear of Bob's passing.  I just talked with him about a week ago and although he spoke of more health problems he was having, I thought he would bounce back like he has so many times over the past few years.  Bob was a great guy and friend that I had the pleasure of working with in the data center in St.Louis for many years.  Bob was always fun to be around at work or at many activities after work.  He was dedicated to his work, his family and friends and will be sorely missed by anyone that new him.  Bob was truely the nicest person you would ever have the pleasure to know.

I'm so sorry to hear of Bob's passing.  I worked with him at the WE building in St. Louis.  He was one of the nicest guys I have ever met.  I'm so sorry.
