We will miss Bob tremendously! You don’t live next to someone for 47 years and not become family. Bob will leave a void in our family that cannot be filled. May GOD bless his immediate relatives with comfort and peace!

Words cannot describe how much Bob was adored and looked up to.
A wonderful and handsome husband to Lois.
A gentleman on and off the golf courses
and a fantastic family man to his son Bobby and Susie and his granddaughter
Megan.
God Bless his family and the entire Ocala Florida community which he grew to love.

Bob was a "brother in arms" and good friend. We shared a lot of life's experiences as well as living in the same community of Oak Run. I know a lot of the friends that he made in both the Car Club and the Veteran's & Patriot Club will miss seeing his smiling face. Our sincere condolences go out to Jeanne and the family. RIP my friend!

Bob was a great cousin and when my parents were alive, I saw him quite a bit. Which was nice and family was important to him and our family. He was a very interesting person. He had a lot of struggles in his life. Jeannie is a loving, supportive wife. They had a wonderful family that Bobbie loved so much. Thankfully he is on the best golf course of all, heaven.
