Paw Paw ( that's what we called him ) was the sweetest person ever.When I was little and its true he kept candy in his top dresser drawer and bed side table even though he passed away a year ago I miss him every day. When I first found out he passed I didn't believe my dad I honestly thought that it was all  a nightmare then I woke up the next day and had to just accept he  was gone. Now I'm 12 and the oldest so every time my sisters ask about Paw Paw or say they miss him I just tell them all the good times we had with him while he was alive.

I will miss him. He was a good friend for many years, "Bullet Bob".

In 2011 when dad had his first big surgery on his right carotid I went with him. Back then he still chose ben taub hospital to get his treatment lol and that is a story for a different day.

But I was the one who took him to the hospital and brett and I planned for me to stay all day long then I’d leave to go on a women’s retreat and brett would handle the weekend.

Dad was real nervous that morning. It was risky, and complicated. I told him he would be just fine.

So we got there, they took him to pre-op, I got all his clothes and things and went to the waiting room. There was a tv screen with dads patient # and I was told it would update me when they started surgery, when he was done, etc etc. 2-3 hrs into it I finally went and asked the girl at the desk why his hadn’t updated. Next thing I know a nurse has called me back to speak to her. I was scared. I thought something had gone wrong.

She says “we haven’t been able to start yet”.... Okay phew and also wtf? But dad had asked to see me so I got to go in and he was right where I left him. Apparently he had passed out when they gave him his IV 😂😅 I called him a weenie and we laughed.

He said it was the weirdest thing. He went to a place with a big beautiful castle and silver princess was there. He said it was the most beautiful place he’d ever seen. And he only got a glimpse. He has talked about that princess in that castle ever since.

Last Saturday night when he went to sleep Hannah and I left together sobbing and pulled out of the parking lot and guess what - next door (I mean literally outside dads window) was a huge LIT UP castle. How we hadn’t seen it before when leaving or even from his window I’d been in all day, I do not know. But there it was. His castle.

Sorry for your loss.sympathies to all .
Indra and family.

There isn’t enough space for the amount of stories and great memories Bob & I shared from 1994 forward. One time we had a yard sale & Robin Dyson had an exercise machine she put in the sale. If you know Bob, you know he was blessed with a high metabolism & never gained weight. Someone at the yard sale asked “If the exercise machine worked?” Bob said (with the most serious of tone) “You bet it does, I used to weigh 300lbs.” They bought the machine. Then there was a time when I got attacked by a baby squirrel our cat caught and all Bob & Brett could do was laugh at me while this squirrel climbed my legs & the cat did too. We always played card games with the kids, enjoyed Toledo Bend, and the occasional gambling trip. Never a dull moment.
He was there for me when my parents passed & I was there for him when his parents passed as well. Even after we weren’t a couple, we never lost touch or stopped caring about one another’s welfare.
He was truly one of a kind with his snarky humor & our random adventures. He had the unique ability to lift others up & make you feel so loved.
He will be missed greatly.
