I worked closely with Bob for over 10 years in automotive retail. Among all staff, Bob distinguished himself with a bedrock work ethic, always lived up to his convictions and followed a true morale compass. What a pilot-patriot he was too, with a career of safe and successful flight hours and missions which included his flying a badly damaged aircraft with crew back to base with a leaking fuel cell and fatally wounded command pilot. A great man we all had in Bob, it showed each day. I visited Bob some months ago at home and watched the loving care from Shirley and family. I just wish I had made it one last time. Shirley, Kim, Mark, and James, know Bob must have felt blessed to receive your daily loving care.
I was so distressed to read in the newspaper of Bob’s death. I worked closely with Bob & Shirley in politics many years ago and saw first-hand the extraordinary depth of his integrity and commitment to principles. He was a fine man. My deep and abiding condolences to Shirley and all of Bob’s family.
Bobby once soared in the air as a pilot and is now soaring with the angels having earned the joy of everlasting life. A great man, a great friend. He will be missed. With our heartfelt sympathy. Love, Roger, Debbie, Caitlin & Chris
Dear Shirley, I wanted you to know how very sorry we were to hear of Bob’s passing. From the first day I met you both you made me feel so welcome and because of my upbringing that was something I was not used to. The more time I spent with you and Bob I considered you both family also. I still cherish the silver serving dish you gave me and think of you whenever I see it. I remember all the good times we had at Roger’s in the pool, cook-outs, etc. and I was always on your and Bob’s shallow side side. I’ll always remember Bob and miss him very much. I wish Jerry and I could be there but please know that we, along with Jerry Lynn and Melissa have both of you in our prayers and hope and pray that you get through it all. With all my love, Linda Ray Huddleson
My heart and prayers go out to the entire family. It was a honor to serve your family while I was with Heartland Hospice.
To the Bowers family: may friends, family and good memories comfort you in this time. May you find peace in knowing you have the opportunity to see him again. John 5.28-29 Our deepest condolences.
Please accept my heartfelt condolences on the loss of your loved one. When I lost my dear aunt in death, I was encouraged by reading my bible, The Holy Scriptures. I invite you to open your bible and read the book of Revelation, chapter 21, verse 4 (Rev. 21:4) and the book of Isaiah, chapter 25, verse 8 (Isa. 25:8) I found much comfort in knowing that Jehovah God (Isa. 45: 18, 19) promise to resurrect the dead. And, in due time, he will eliminate death, sorrow, and pain FOREVER. Warm regards, Mrs. A. Vega
