My deepest sympathies to the family. Robert and Kathy and I had many wonderful times together. I know he will be deeply missed. May God bring you comfort during your sorrow.
Robert was one of a kind. We have so many memories and good conversations to remember him by. His love for 4 legged babies was priceless. I know he had a herd of them greeting him when he went to his new home along with all my babies too. When I think about you, I get a smile to my face. We will miss you, but we’ll see you in heaven.. Kathy, you know we are , always here for you.
Our hearts are broken. We had many great times when the boys were growing up. I know that Bob will be missed.
We were filled with sadness at the news of Roberts passing. We have many memories in Hobbs with Robert. We are so sorry for your families loss and will keep you in our prayers during this difficult time. We truly loved Robert and will smile when we think of him.
I will miss his warm and friendly voice. Whenever I saw him, or when he answered the phone, it was as if he had all the time in the world just for me.
His love for animals knew no bounds. Will always remember the ferret!
Here for you always Kathie — Karen & Stan
Dear Kathie, this news brings such sadness to our hearts. Steve was always thankful for how generous and giving Robert was with his knowledge and time. He had a great respect for your husband. I truly hope that the memories you two shared will help you through this time.
Kathie, I remember the multiple gardens that the two of you planted and nurtured in Hobbs. While Bob always commented on having to dig and till the soil, he never complained. Your harvests were always plentiful and your generosity knew no bounds. May your gardens always be filled with fond memories of him. Love always, Jeannie
