Dear Bob, Our sweet friend, I can’t thank you enough for your friendship in the short time I came to know you. You hardly knew me yet offered yourself to help my son (who is doing great)!! Then we continued. Confined to fall in love with your forever friend Bill. Hey, just recall the sweet early evening of May when our friend Robin was bar tending. I know as I write this via the space of the internet- you are here. Smiling on us who wait to great you in your new place. Your laughter and smiles are so missed. See you soon ♥️

I had only known Bob for the past year. In that short time, he was a kind hearted, loyal friend. He was a welcome sight to me whenever I showed up at an event. As we shared stories and a few laughs, he always had words of encouragement for me and a big smile. He will be sorely missed.May you always fly with angels. Rest in peace my friend.

Will miss your great wit, your sweetness and kindness to me and my family. Always there to hear me sing and encouraging me. My grandsons will always remember their visit to Republic and sitting in your plane pretending they were pilots. You will always be in my heart. The world is a sadder place without you. Love you forever Bob.

Bob was a close friend, fellow pilot and confidant. His last private words to me were said as we spent a quiet moment last week. I am sure he would want me to share it with all who loved him. He looked at me, outstretched his arms like wings and said, "I'm at peace, Tony."
