I first meant Bob in 6th grade and graduated with him in 1974 from Rocky Grove. Although I have not seen him in Years, I will always remember him as being one of the good guys.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
The grief we all feel over Bob’s passing is a testimony to the wonderful person he was and the impact he had on all of our lives. He was one of the most genuine people I have ever met, a great musician and a good friend.

Such a huge loss – he will be missed and remembered.
Your family has my sympathy.
You do not know me, but I graduated with Bob (bisquit). He always had a smile and never seemed to be down. I haven’t seen him in years, but know my thoughts are with the family. He was a great guy and loved his music. My prayers are with you at this time.
Bob will be dearly missed. I have only known Bob for about 7 years but he was one of the funniest, friendliest, and kindhearted persons that I have ever met. I will always cherish the times we spent together. My deepest condolences to Dixie and all family and friends.

On behalf of Randy & the Cheyenne Band we send our deepest sympathy to Dixie and her family. Bob played bass for us for a few years and we will never forget his smiling face or his love of music. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. RIP my friend
Bob was a great musician, I have known him almost all my life we played music for along time when we were kids. I will personally miss my buddy of many years and I know he knows that i always cared for him.

I met Bob and Dixie at DBC and could not have asked for two better friends. Bob was a special person and will truly be missed. RIP friend and God speed.
It was a privilege to have played in a band with Bob, as well as a joy and, as he would say, “Hey! That was a Hoot! Man.”
I first met Bob about fifteen years ago and knew right away that he was one of the good ones. Being a musician myself, Bob truly inspired me with his passion and love of music. He will be missed but surely not forgotten. It was my pleasure to know him and call him a friend.
Tragic loss, Bob will be missed by all. He is probably jammin with the big boys up there, with a big smile on his face. We love ya Bob!
I was deeply saddened when I heard about Bob’s passing. He was such a great person to have known. He will be greatly missed by his many friends and family, as well as the local musicians who were lucky enough to have known him.
My fondest memory of Bob was him repairing one of my guitars that had been dropped and thought to be beyond repair. He not only repaired it, but made it play and sound better than it did when it was new. He wouldnt accept any money for doing it. And that has always stuck in my mind. He was just that kind of person.He told me that for him to know that playing it made me happy was all the payment he required. That meant the world to me and I will never forget that.
We will all miss his laughter and his friendship. And I’m sure I can speak for everyone when I say he will be greatly missed.
My deepest sympathy goes out to his wife and family. May god bless you all.
