Please accept our condolences from the 317th Veterans group. I remember meeting Bob at our 2011 Air Force Reunion in Tucson, Arizona. I spent a lot of time talking with Bob about being in the Air Force. As a photographer he had the eye for taking great pictures during our reunions. I was so impressed with his photography; I followed him and shot the same subject pictures he was taking. My picture just didn’t compare to his. Not only did he have a good eye for taking pictures, but his timing was also perfect. Our Veterans group Web master will place Bob’s name on our Memorial Page. During the next reunion banquet our Chaplin will read a list of the Veterans that have made their flight and Bobs’ name will be read at that time.

My papa had so many hobbies that he was passionate about: painting, photography, dancing, genealogy. But his one real passion was his girls. And when I say girls, I mean Allie. Allie is the only girl to get that man to leave his dancing shoes and “hens” in Las Vegas and move home to be with his true love. Lol. My papa was truly a wonderful and good man. Flaws? Sure, we all have flaws. But that man was there for me in so many ways. When you talk about a ride or die friend, well that’s my papa. Lord knows I have put him through his share of scares, late night of worries, and several prayers he prayed for me. I never had to question his love for me, he showed it in his actions. I have so many memories with him that I will hold close to my heart. I remember thinking during the many nights of stories about his Air Force or dancing rooster days that I would be so happy to never hear it again. Now, I just wish he could tell me his Cock-a-doodle-do joke one last time or share with me his time over seas.

My father in law was a very good man that lived a very interesting life. I will never forget his story of being in Turkey, because he told it to me a thousand times. Lol, I’m going to miss him and his stories very much. And I’ll also miss watching him do the “Rushing Shuffle” every time he heard Sharp Dressed Man” come on. Rest in peace Bob.
