He was larger than life & had a heart of gold. He did so much for so many people selflessly helping many who could never help him back in the same manner. He was all about love & making memories, I took my family up north on labor day weekend & we went to Castle Rock & I remember him taking cristy & me there as kids so we could have some great childhood memories. I took them on that trip because I remember him saying memories are priceless. I will love & miss him always ♥

The thing Bob enjoyed the most was helping others…he spent a lifetime of it…from childhood up…and playing music with his family and friends…I spent a lifetime watching him run day and middle of the night helping others…watching him fix my car and teaching me while he did…fixing my furnace…electric…plumbing…add rooms on…help lift up houses put a basement under..fixing my burnt house from plumbing to electrical to windows to roof…but most importantly both helping teach each other how to get back up when you’re down…how to give…and not live for money but the Live of reaching those in need and being there for others without being asked or belittling others while you help…he learnt to fix anything or it wasn’t broke…with humor …Love…courage…and hated learning to accept help…but loved being full of it …and pulling pranks…a horrible patient…hated hospitals…but The greatest brother I could ever ask for….My grandson asked me Grandma does Uncle Bob have a phone in heaven? I told him no sweetie they don’t need phones in heaven…He said then how can he call you grandma….he always calls…Filled our eyes with tears cuse that’s my brother …he always called…always there…always will be!

Bob was a Dad to my sons, and taught them so many practical things, hunting, fishing, fixing cars, household repairs, and such.

Whenever I needed help, or to make a decision, I would discuss it with Bob.

He helped both my boys into adulthood & beyond.

May he rest in peace, and find a good life here after, with our Lord & Savior.

To all of his Family and Friends I pray Bobs strength and Love flow through you and even a dab of his stubbornness to get you through…but to Mom I pray you know it was your Love and strength that taught us and Bob how to get through and not forget the laughter and Love through all the ups and downs.
