My family and I have known Bob for a long time. And this came to us, as a total shock. I will always remember Bob as a kind hearted person always willing to help others in need. I learned a lot from him. My condolences to all that knew him. He will be missed. - Posted by: Duy Nguyen (Family friend/former co-worker) on: Oct 30, 2013

A man of few words but spoken with truth and integrity. One of the few curlers that would sweep a stone to the correct location and turn to say nice shot only to realize that he was the one that threw it. RIP Bobby! - Posted by: Darryl Lee (Friend, and Eagle Brother) on: Oct 29, 2013

My condolences to all. I always enjoyed Bobby's company when we met at family gatherings and at Sunset Beach. A terrible shock. Was looking forward to our shared trip next year. - Posted by: Roberta Beach (family friend) on: Oct 27, 2013
