To Mark & Lisa Sorry to hear about Bob. He and I had a few good years together. You guys are in my prayers. Nancy (Banfill) Scott
UNCLE BOB, HIS MOM EMMA, AND GREAT NIECE NIKKI…
Uncle Bob was one of my favorites! He had the biggest heart and the warmest smile. I remember as a little girl he would give me a dollar to clean his truck. You will be missed but never forgotten.
Sorry to hear of your loss, our love and prayers are with you all, Bob was a good man I remember he was like a big teddy bear him and uncle Bill would give the best hugs, Love you all.
This really breaks my heart!!! I worked at ponderosa for 12yrs and I know at least half of that I had the great privilege to get to know this wonderful man!! I looked forward to seeing him almost everyday (sometimes 2x per day) and talking to him. even after I left ponderosa, he would stop and talk to me and my family every time we went in to eat. My son LOVED talking to him…I remember the first time my son saw Bob he thought it was Santa…LOL…after that Bob always stopped to talk to my son and always asked about the little boy I use to babysit (mason). We would sit forever and talk Nascar and sometimes football. . . He always remembered that I was a Ryan Newman fan I will always remember that he liked Matt Kenseth (and sometimes johnson, gordon and harvick..lol) …. I will really miss him and I know I am not alone!!!! Part of me felt like he was part of my family and I am truly saddened!! R. I. P. You will be missed by so many and never forgotten!
In very sorry for your loss. May the God of all comfort provide the much needed comfort for you and your’s at this difficult time. He promises at Revelation 21:4 that ‘He will wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will be no more. Neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be any more. The former things have passed away.’ My deepest condolences.
My Uncle Bob, I always enjoyed when he would stop in, and visit dad. He sure had some funny stories. He was one of the good guys….now grandma, and grandpa, and their children are all together 🙏 💐
