Debbie our thoughts are with you and your family always. Bob was such a great friend to my folks (John and Mary Morrison) always there to assist them in any way. I know they depended on him as a son of sorts for a long time. Always know we are here for you.Sandy (Morrison) Kizer
Message from Susan Cutright - July 24 at 04:35 PM
I will never forget when I rode to Missouri with Bob and the boys. It touched me so much how he spoke about Debbie and there long lasting relationship, and being in a suit when the first time he took her to the movies. He told me all about how and when they first started dating. Such a good good man! So sorry for everyone's loss.

I will never forgot Bob's kindness when my Dad died. I was in Florida at the time and feeling very helpless. Called Bob and he said not to worry about a thing as he would take good care of Dad. He drove him to Pocahontas, Arkansas and handled all those little details that had to be done. He told me that he and my Dad had a very nice drive together! Will be forever grateful for his kindness - LaVonda Sherrill (& Don)

Message from Nancy Bushong - July 27 at 12:00 PM
Debbie - my deepest condolences on your loss. I have good memories of Bob, and he would always make me smile. Such a warm and caring individual.I want to share a memory with you that my son, Brett, told me. He called me the other day to ask if I knew of Bob's passing. He told that he remembers of the time, that he was staying with his Uncle Jim and Aunt Donna. At that time in Brett's life (maybe around age 6), he was extremely afraid of storms. You and Bob were visiting at the time when a bad storm came, and Debbie, you had Brett sit on your lap and you comforted him. Funny what we remember when we were kids. Brett is 38 now, and one of the many things that he does, is a weather spotter for his local fire department. With your help, he has gotten to a point where storms don't bother him as much. Brett and I feel blessed that we knew Bob. Nancy Bushong
