    One word comes to mind when thinking of Bummer — inclusive. From poker to softball to basketball to float trips to life, it was, “Come join me.” “We are all getting together.” And then, “It’s great to see you.” Everyone will miss the glue that was Bob. I already do.

    It is hard to lose a contemporary and life long friend. Fond memories of cruising Red Steer to Tasty Treat, basketball at the Methodist church, helping each other get dates in high school with our current “dream girl”, that lopsided grin usually accompanied by his trademark chuckle. A good one done gone on! Peg and family, wishing you only good memories.

    My thoughts are with you and your daughters and granddaughters, Peggy.

    There is joy in shared memories.
    There is comfort in shared grief.
    Robert was my friend and I will miss my friend.
    My prayers are with Peggy and her family.

    I met Bob in high school and maintained a friendship over the years, mostly via golf. I’ll never forget his subdued humor and his lust for friendship and fun and the fact the we just had fun being together. It’s so true that you just don’t miss someone until they are actually gone. I’ve lost many friends lately, but I’m having a difficult time dealing with the loss of Bob. I feel blessed to have been his friend and Peggy I hope you and your family find hope and comfort in the coming days.

    Thoughts and prayers for all of you.

    The Robinsons will miss Bob! Our funny curmudgeon neighbor – always had a complaint delivered with humor! He definitely made us smile each time we talked. Between the gas leak at our house in the front yard…. near where he tossed his cigar ends… (He said he would find a new place to toss his cigars), to seeing and waving at Graeme each morning while Graeme attended HS via his bedroom during his senior year due to COVID, we always think of Bob with a smile. We will miss seeing Bob outside sitting on his porch. It was a familiar site. May his memory be eternal.
