Bob was an incredible man. I have so many fond memories of our time together. He had a way with people. Always professional and always friendly. He loved to entertain and treated business colleagues, friends, and strangers in such a caring manner. He enjoyed life and made life fun for others, always positive and making people laugh. He will be missed!
The last 4 years Bob has been fighting cancer. He’s fought a good fight and never complained! For the past 15 years he would join Marsha and me for dinner at the restaurant of his choice. The guy could eat! Jet, you will be missed by many but your legend will live on! Rest in peace my friend and save us a seat! Marsha and Ron Davis
Bob “The Jet” Terbrock was my forever friend who ALWAYS wanted to know how I and my sweet wife Carrie (whom he had a crush on!) were doing. There are so many Husky and Snake stories to tell on Bob that I’d fill this page up. Suffice it to say, he was a great man, great Brother, awesome friend and genuine good human being
Jet and I decided to race each other every day in the 1/4 mile. This was after more than a case of beer and we ran exactly zero times. Big plans to win track events though. He came to visit Jeannie and me a few times when we were living at the Lake of the Ozarks and would always cook something complicated. He was a really good cook (and also cleaned up after). Super guy and missed greatly.
So “THE JET” has left us-only to continue his beloved antics & humor in Heaven! We are all counting on being together once again & enjoying the Friendship we had on Earth. He was one in a million-smart, hilarious, & the BEST! We had so much FUN with him, in Blue Springs. We even bought his house there! We didn’t see enough of him over the years-a few times in St Louis, even stayed in, what he called, Jet’s B&B!
Loved his Pit Bull(Buddy).
Saw him a few times during & after his treatments, getting his hugs & meeting his new puppy. This last year, we had a few phone conversations. We feel so honored & Blessed to have known Bob all these years. We Loved him & will MISS him! No matter how tough he was feeling, he always made us laugh. GOD BLESS “THE JET”
Bob and I have the same birthday and would always call each other on our special day. We were in the same YMCA service group in Junior High and hung out together through High School. It was always fun to be around Bob.
We kept in touch after college and visit with him when we were in St. Louis. His BBQ’s were great and he was a good host.
We would talk often about our friends and family. When he was diagnosed we’d talk openly about his situation and he never complained and always had a positive attitude. He lived life to the fullest and will be greatly missed
It was very hard to hear that Bob had passed. I lived in Bob’s “guest house” for two years and spent many mornings having coffee on the patio solving the world’s problems. We tried to go to lunch once a week and Bob would always ask for extra meat on his sandwich and make sure the fries were cut fresh not frozen. After moving to Texas Bob and I would try to talk every two to three weeks and continue to solve the world’s problems. Bob was always upbeat and never let his cancer get him down and never any self pity. I will miss our phone calls. I hope Bob gets extra meat and fresh fries forever. Miss you Bud!!!!
