I will miss Bob. He will be remembered by all Lakewood skateboarders forever. He was a good friend and protector. He was the "gatekeeper" of the park. May he rest in peace.##imported-begin##Billy##imported-end##
I met Bob in 1999, when he was my boss at the Census 2000. A fellow Navy veteran, he bacame a friend and I will always remember our talks at the Skateboard Park and his friendly hellos for my dog Kafka.##imported-begin##Ken Binkley##imported-end##
As I write this my parents and grandparents are gathered in Tillicum to remember you. I wanted to write this little memorial since I can't be with my family in person today. Though I didn't know you well, I will always remember you as a funny person, relaxed, and I know that you loved your family. I mourn with them today and I look forward to seeing you all again soon. From your grand niece.##imported-begin##Kelsey Sutton##imported-end##
Bob and I began working together in Jan. 2000 with Census 2000. He was a wonderful supervisor on numerous Census operations, and I valued him as a friend. He spoke highly of his family and was devistated by the loss of his previous "faithful companion." The passing of a compassionate man who loved his family, his dog, and concerned himself with the welfare of others is a True Loss, indeed.
Sleep in peace, Bob.##imported-begin##Ellen Sumner##imported-end##
Bob's been a friend of mine for over 30 years -- since the days that we worked together at Western Clinic -- he in the lab & me in nursing. Professionally, he was a wonderful co-worker -- a great team member. He lightened our load with his friendliness & willingness to help -- always with a smile.
Personally, I enjoyed Bob's sense of humor. Bob & I shared many, many laughs over the years. After he left WC, Bob sometimes stopped by the clinic to say "Hello," & he occasionally visited me in the grocery store where I later worked for 13 years. We would reminisce & catch up on each other's lives. Bob was a family man & often shared about Mary, Lori & Tracey. And, we talked about our dogs!
I was stunned to read of Bob's passing in the TNT. I will be one of his old friends that will be missing him.
My sincere condolences to Mary & the girls, his grandchildren, & to Bob's other family memebers.
Sincerely,
