I met Bob when I was 19 and living next door to his girlfriend. My brother and I had lots of adventures and fun times with Bob back then and I’ll never forget him After he married Pat, we continued to have fun hanging out and 4-wheeling.
I want to extend my sincere sympathy to Pat, Jon and Jessica.

My Uncle Bob was my Dad’s “Buddy” his whole life. They met in first grade at Southside school and became best friends from then on. Uncle Bob was at our house every weekend. We all went to the lake, we did a lot of jeeping and four wheeling. I grew up with him like he was a member of our family and to us he was and is. He was a very big part of all of our lives. He was such a good man. He will be greatly missed. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family Pat, Jonathan And Jessica.

I am so very sorry for your loss. May God grant you peace and comfort in the difficult days ahead. I remember Bob and his whole family from my younger years. We lived across the road from them. Cathy and I spent a lot of time playing together in our youth. I did not realize she had passed too. Such a sweet and kind family. I know Bob will be missed.

I remember Bob and the Boswell boys when we all lived in Allen Chapel. You could stand in one spot and see all three houses. That was back when there were no shortage of good people, and there were none ever better than Bob and his family. That was close to sixty years ago.
Prayers for comfort and peace.
