Bob was a man of strength and heart.
He leaves a legacy of loving and being loved....that is life’s greatest gift.

I didn’t know Bob like I would have, I know him through his daughter and my sister-in-law Andrea, who is her fathers daughter.
A woman of strength and heart.Knowing Andrea and listening to “Dads Stories “,
Made me feel I too knew this remarkable man. My prayers are with all.

Bob was my dad, Richard Jayne's cousin and I always liked it when he would stop by on his motorcycle to visit him. They would stand out in the front yard and have a cigarette, something my mom wouldn't allow my dad to do so I always thought of him as a rebel. He was the closest thing to a friend my dad had back then when he spent so much time working and never taking time for himself that I always loved seeing them together. I was touched at how concerned he was when he saw how dementia had affected my dad, he was a good man.

My entire life, my grandpa has always been someone I've admired, especially his strength and intelligence. I will treasure all of the memories I have of him, all the stories about his adventurous life and I am so grateful that my children and Paul were able to meet him before he passed. His influence will live with me in my heart forever ♡

Dad,
Its ben a few days since you have passed, and it is not getting easier. You were my rock, my confidant, my mentor and my friend. Your opinion and advice I cherished above anyone else’s, as I knew you would always have my best interest at heart. Your life has been a series of adventures, and misadventures, and your stories of them always brought a smile to my face, and to your grandkids! You will always be their “poppy”, and you will be greatly missed! I sit at your desk, and cant stop the tears from falling, you were a huge part of who I am, and I owe so much to you! The way I repay you is to be the father and grandfather to my kids that you were to me and my kids. Thank you for the years that we had together as first father and son then as friends! I will miss our Sunday chats more than anything. You are always in my heart and on my mind.
        I love you dad

I knew Bob thru work at Autinetics, we visited many times thru the years there. We were friends, someone I looked up to, I especially remember him at a time a small group of guys got together and did some target practicing with him. At that time he was using a 9 mm Browning hi power, with him being left handed it didn't work well with him, I was offered this and purchased it from him. I remember his demainer, calm quiet gental person he was over the disappointment of a gun he really liked. That thought remained with me for the past nearly 40 plus year's. Thought of you often Bob and the quiet kind person you were. My condolences to the family.

I truly felt that I knew Bob even before I met him in person.
Peggy and I became acquainted years ago at a local Curves gym.
As soon as I met her I knew this was someone I wanted to know better.
We met outside of the gym many times over the years, exchanging life experiences and getting closer all of the time...so close in fact that we call each other ‘Sisters of the Heart’ because that is how we feel about each other.

What I noticed more and more in our many conversations was the genuine respect and love she had for her husband.
While Peggy spoke lovingly of all of their children, she also told me about the strength of her husband.
Before the illness really started impacting the quality of his life, I saw how he wanted Peggy to enjoy more good memories.
One of those avenues was to take her on a beautiful cruise to Tahiti. He wanted to see her smile and be pampered—and she was!

It was sad to see Bob begin to fail but even then, he didn't rest until he was sure that Peggy would have everything within his power to enjoy every convenience and comfort he could provide.
The home was fitted with new appliances and brought up to date, not for him, but for the life he wanted Peggy to live after he was no longer here to protect her in person.

It has been a comfort and joy to know this couple. My friend truly found in Bob, a compassionate and caring man...May he live on in our thoughts and prayers forever.

Bob was my knight in shining armor. He married me when my children were 5, 8 and 10. He became their Father over the years. He was the ying to my yang. Each of us so different yet we made a great partnership for 48 years. I shall miss terribly my rock, my confidant, my love.

I adored my dad, he was someone I could trust. I remember he used to like to tease me. He would make up fun stories that when I got older I would realize weren't true and all this time i believed it. I will miss him so much.
