On behalf of myself and my sister Diane, we send condolences to Rob’s entire family. We hope you are comforted knowing that his long struggle is over and he is at peace. He fought bravely, and he now can rest. We have known Rob since 4th grade, and have always thought of him as an old and dear friend. Diane saw him over the years, but I am so glad I managed to visit him last May. We will keep Sheila and his sons and their families in our thoughts. We hope all your wonderful memories will keep you all strong, and bring you smiles.

Thanks so much Mike for your condolence. Bob also enjoyed your visits and the talks about different vehicles as well. He is at rest now after dealing with this horrible disease. You take care of yourself.
Sheila and Family,
I’m so sorry to hear about the passing of Uncle Bob
My thoughts are with you during this difficult time
I am saddened to hear the news that Bob has passed away. He started off as one of my first customers over 20 years ago and became a friend and trusted person to lean on for experience. He gave me comfort and advice when I lost my parents and always made me smile with a joke. His passion and expertise for his work and his family made a lasting impression on me as a young man. Bob’s kindness and unwavering dedication to his work, community and family will be greatly missed. My condolences , thoughts and prayers are with his family and loved ones. Rest in peace my friend
We always enjoyed his visits to see us, both in Wyoming, and in Colorado.
We still remember him helping find our dog Jasper when we were out bike riding in the hills north of Green River. He will be so missed by all of us, family and friends.
. He gave it the good fight, with so much courage !
