I am sad at the news I heard about Bob. I met Bob under shitty circumstances at our employer and we remained good friends at the end of the day. I think the world of him and will miss running into him from time to time.
(FOR BOBS FAMILY, PLEASE REMEMBER THAT THE GOOD GO BEFORE THE BAD and WE all LOST A GOOD PERSON IN OUR LIVES….. I PRAY FOR YOUR COMFORT IN THESE HARD TIMES.
Robert was the best brother anyone could ever have. I will miss being called peewee from my big brother. I will always remember all the fun times we shared. One of my favorite times was playing mario bros on nintendo. I will beat that game someday in memory of my big brother. You will remain in my heart forever Robert. I love you.
Bobbie was a man who lived life to the fullest and will be missed. I enjoyed being his neighbor and friend for many years. I will never forget the evening a deer was hit and my first viewing of a hanging deer. Most memorable time was my visit to Washington with the Bittis family and shooting a handgun….oh and the airline lost my luggage for 2 days. We laughed so much and I will never forget!
Rob You will be missed, memories on the farm in North Dakota and the visits to Williston when we were young are unforgetable. Later in Watford and Seattle fun and crazy. Just being your brother is great. I truely will miss you and will always LOVE YOU.
For all the memories shared and cherished that I get to hold in my heart forever…Thank You Bob! I will miss your laugh but still see your smile!
