Friend ,Olathe ,Kansas

I heard about Bob’s passing this week. Bob was a wonderful man with a great sense of humor. He spoke with me about the love of his kids/family quite often. We both shared the passion of guitar/music which made our connection extra special. Rest in peace Bob and thank you! Bill

Best friend ,Claremore ,Oklahoma

I’ll miss you,Bob. You were my best friend in High School, and our friendship continued throughout these years. You always inspired me to step a little further, to practice guitar a little longer, to be thankful for those small, seemingly meaningless things, that were truly significant in our lives, and we hardly knew it. You are always a peaceful soul who sees beauty i. Our world which I am blind to see for all of the distortions. You were always focussed on what was truly important. My, my, do you love dogs. They were the anchor to your soul, unrelenting love to, and fro. You are such a kind person, everyone adored your manners, your demeanor, your smile, your concern for them. It showed, it always showed through. I will truly miss our updates, and shared moments. You rest now, my truest friend. You touched my soul.
