Bob

Remembering you is easy. We do it every day, but there is an ache within our heart that will never go way.

Lives are like the rivers. Eventually they go where they must. Not where we want them to.

Rest in God's loving care.

Well dad 2 years today since u left us can't believe it I remember getting the dreaded call that u finally took ur last breath and I will always never forgive myself for not being there with you but u will never be forgotten and will always be missed until we meet again u fly high soldier love u always ur baby boy xxxx

Well bob it is almost 2 years since you left us all heartbroken and still doesnt seem real and hasnt been from that day.Alll of your family are still struggling to learn how to live without you here and so much has happened and changed in the world that proves you were the one that held our family together and made everyone happy just by being you and id give my life for you to still be here for the kids n grandkids.They alll miss you so much and talk about you all the time all the fun times they shared with you and family days out and the christmas,s and your sunday dinners.But your baby boy Ryan has and still is struggling to cope with losing you and is keeping up the horse racing ypu and him enjoyed together.Even though hes not having much luck with it like he and you did.i think you bought each other luck.Anyway bob ill leave it there for now and will write to you on the 15th and tell you what we do for you on the day.Sending all our love forever and always Lorr kids grandkids and Shogun.GBNF xxx

Hi grandad i just wanted to let you know that im missing you more than ever now

Hi there bob lorr is taking it very hard without you she thinks about you all the time and talks about you loads she will get there in end so rest in peace bob and enjoy all the lovely Angel's u have up there we will all be there one day xx

Wow grandad, it's been 5 long and hard months since u've left and there's not been a day that's gone by that I haven't thought about you. You really were an amazing grandad. I miss you so much more then I could've ever imagined. Your presence gave me so much strength, but knowing you're watching over me gives me more strength because I know you're going to be watching everything I do. The say after time it gets easier but it really doesn't I miss you so much more everyday. I'll forever be grateful that I had the best grandad in the whole world because u did all u could for us. I wish you were still here with me but heaven needed the best angel there ever was and they chose you. You gave that horrible disease a really tough fight until it eventually got the best of u. Even through your bad days you managed to pull out a smile and giggle and continue to make everyone laugh because you put your loved ones before yourself. You'll always be my hero because of how strong you were and how much of an amazing role model you were. I will keep all of our memories in my head and I will make sure that I keep you in my heart. Until we meet again, sleep tight my angel, I love you so much. G.B.N.F xxxxxxxx

Dear Bob (aka pops)
I will always remember the laughs we had when me and Cheryl picked u up from hospital, I also loved the fact u would only ask for me to pick u up and for that I am very honoured. u are loved and missed so much by all your family and friends, may u rest easy my dear friend, all my love always sara xxxx (pops is my name I used to call u, cos somehow I felt like u was a father figure to me) rest well pops till we meet again xxxxx

My Brother Bob,
Wherever you are, I know you are in a much better place looking down at your your family. Since you gone as the darkness begins to unfold at some point I know it will be you leading the way for them into the light. Although you are no longer physically with us, you will forever remain in our hearts and your spirit will always be felt. Thank you for coming into our lives and enriching all of us. You were an amazing person that showed us all how to live life to the fullest and give back to others. Your list of accomplishments inspire me to settle for nothing less but the best, and I’m sure you influenced many others along the way. You will always be remembered for your courage, caring, advice, jokes, contagious smile and a lovely brother and brother-in-law. We'll love you forever. xx David & Rosy

Not a day goes by without me thinking of you! I cant believe your not with us anymore! But I'll be strong because thats what you showed us all! That inner strength that all us smiths have! And although I'm sad, although it hurts like hell! I live with the fact I know your pain free! So until we meet again, my dad! My inner strength! I'll love you always x x

Bob will be sadly missed by his family and friends, he is now with some of our beloved family having a good time xx

Thankyou for the 45 years we spent together yes we had our bad times the same as every couple does but we had the good times too.We have the boys we bought up the best we could with what we had but they never went without.We have our beautiful amazing grandkids to carry on the smith family name.They all miss you a lot and think and talk about you all the time.Life for me has and never will be the same again but i know you would want me to carry on and look after everyone n im doin my best.Ive cried n cried so much in the 5 months youve been gone but you knew what i was goin to be like cause you know im not good at coping with things.Im just waiting n wondering when the day will come when i can hold back the tears when i look at your pics etc n people talk about you.Till then im taking every day as it comes till i can motivate myself to doing things n goin places again.GBNF Always in my thoughts and my heart . xc Lorr xxx
