Even years later we would meet up for lunch and talk Legal stuff (no, not Sports for us!), have always looked up to Bob, I'm disappointed/Sad I missed his attempts to reach out & talk with me in the recent few years. I very much enjoyed connecting & talking with You Bob Birdwell.
Warm regards to All your Friends & Family reading this!

When Bob and I were working together on his Radio show, we both had a Great Time making up Funny 'Spots' of current events that Bob would Act out and I would Audio Record. SO Hilarious because Bob was very creative with making up voices, the years of 1995 to 1996.

Just discovered the news that Robert is no longer with us, sad and disappointed. He imparted so much wisdom and knowledge into my life. As the technician to the Radio show we worked on together, Met Bob 18 years ago, and worked with him for many enjoyable hours. We had Great Fun! Always loved chatting with Robert, and I will Seek his wisdom through prayer. Sending Love to Christine! <3

Bob never missed an event that the family was involved in. He and Christine came for birthdays, holidays, concerts, dance performances, and baseball games. Clearly the family was a huge focus. He and Christine shared many enterprises. There is much to admire about Bob's priorities. May happy memories, and times shared bring comfort to his family.

My dear Uncle Bobby.... You were such a wonderful man, always so full of life and laughter. So many of my fondest childhood memories involved you. You saved me from being named "Spring" like mom and dad had planned, for that I'm forever greatful :) Your memory will live in my heart forever. Through the tears, I remember one of the most influential men in my life. I love you!!!

We love you, Brother Bob-- we will continue to love you and miss you
forever! You brightened our lives whenever you were around and only
have to glance at a picture or hold you in our minds eye and see that wonderful almost mischievious smile on your face. It's so hard to say goodbye- so see you later!

I love you Dad! You were always there for me - as a baby, you left the high seas to be there for me (and mom!); as a child you introduced me to the world, holding my hand and guiding me along the way. As a young man you shared your wisdom. You lived your life your way - with passion, humor, conviction, devotion and a deep and never ending love. You are loved - always.

A Brief Moment
January 27, 2013
by Rob Birdwell
This was just something left on my Dad's little Sony video/camera device. It was a Christmas present from my Mom (2012), but I don't think she knew that until it arrived! He was very excited about this little toy - like a kid!
And like the wine maker that makes wine, optimistically for a future that he or she hopes to share with others, this little recording and my Dad's presumable hope to use the camera in the future - perhaps sharing with friends and family - is but a brief glimpse of him (or at least the sound of him) on one of his last days as "him."
Outside for a few minutes (clearly a guy waiting for his lovely wife), he makes the most of this time to video something he sees and makes a simple little comment. That's all. The plan was probably to view it later (which I think he did), get a sense of the possibilities of the device, and then who knows? Maybe he could have filmed dance concerts, graduations, business meetings, road trips, the beach, or that elusive place in the country he'd always hoped to move to with my Mom...who knows? But I sense something very simple and honest here and it's a bit comforting, despite the deep sadness of what we all know now to be true.
Here he is, looking forward; observing the world directly in front of him, if just for a brief moment.
It would be the video that I would see - one of only a couple - just days later as he lay unresponsive in the hospital and unable to share any of his hopes or dreams, and me, sleeping in the bed that he had been dreaming in just days before. The camera by his bedside; knowing that it was something he was happy about.
