Robert Brown Obituary

Robert Brown was the only person my autistic grandson would allow to cut his hair.. since Bobs passing I used to cut his hair and that didn’t last long. Now my boy has hair down to the middle of his back. Not only was Bob wonderful with cutting hair he was funny and a truly happy person. He had such a wonderful gentleness about him and is sorely missed.

We were happy to serve With Bob and Kathy as Lions club members; Being midwesterners, we felt that much more connected ........
May the peace of God which passes all understanding, be our confort.

I'm so sorry to learn about Bob's death. For all the years I've known him, since the 70's, he was such a vital guy, easy to like and easy to admire. I'm fortunate and grateful to
have known him and shared his fine
company. I know Bob will be mightily
missed and warmly recalled by the many
people he touched along his path.

Bob was such a great person & a great friend. He cut my hair for years & it was always nice to visit with him. He always put a smile on my face and made you feel great. I will miss him but I will never forget him. Kathy you were his true soulmate and my heart goes out to you & your family.

Dear Kathy and Family,
Bob was a blessing in so many ways, such a wonderful hairdresser and friend to those of us who were fortunate enough to know him. He was a great fan of my sugar cookies at Christmas time. I think of him and smile every year when I bake them because he told me they were the "world's best sugar cookies". When we moved back to Idaho from Lawrence in 1999 he was one of the people I missed the most, not just for his great haircuts but for the joy he brought to all who knew him. I was so happy to hear that you two had followed your dreams and moved to Mexico. Find comfort in all of your wonderful memories until you meet again...
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Sincerely, Trina Buckalew

My heart hurts so much for you, sister Kathy. I wish I could hug you and cry with you. Know that I think of you often and pray that you and all of your family are comforted knowing that Bob is with his maker and smiling from heaven. There are so many memories of Bob, from Winfield extravaganzas, to New Years Day annual gatherings, to singing in his basement on Utah Ct to New Grass Revival, to his impeccable haircuts that would impress everyone. What a contagious smile and laugh, and sense of humor. He is partying with the angels now. God bless you and yours. Love and Sympathy...

In all the years I knew Bob he always made the choice to look forward with hope. His smile came straight from his heart and went straight into yours. That can only happen if love lives inside you and love did live in Bob Brown

I am happy and sad all at once for
you all. Happy you two were able to
live your dream for even a short time.
Sad to lose a great friend and hairdresser.
Love you,
Rosanna Wininger

So-long to my back to back pardner at the Lions eye clinic. We will all miss your infectious smile and laff. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Mirl Gratton

Dear Kathy and Bob's Family, There are no words to express the sadness and sorrow I, and so many others, felt at reading the news of Bob's passing - just as there are no words to express the friendship and joy he brought to all of us. Kathy, I am so very sorry for your loss and hope the wonderful memories you have of your time with Bob will bring you strength and comfort in the days ahead. He loved you and his family so very much and I am so glad you found each other - even if your time was too short. Bob was my hairdresser beginning way back in 1972 and I would always - and I mean always - receive compliments on my hair cuts/styles - even from strangers on the street! We went through many happy and not so happy times with various stages in our lives and I'll always remember how excited he was to be going to San Miguel with you. You were the love and light of his life, as I know he was of yours. I know that light will continue to glow inside bringing you strength, peace and comfort each day. Sending prayers and love to you, Kathy, and to yours and Bob's wonderful family. Susan

Bob and me were good friends in late 50's in Topeka when we lived on John street. We were always running around together and having fun. He had a great smile and laughter. He lived in Lecompton Ks for a little while before he moved to Lawrence. His son David married one of our local girls. He will be missed by everyone who crossed his path. He was a great and fun loving guy.

To Karhy, and Bob's Family,
We are so very sad to hear of Bob's passing. He cut my hair here in San Miguel and I always appreciated his easy, fun manner. We always had plenty to talk about . He loved to read western novels and I would bring him as many as I could from our second hand books at our monthly Alma sale.
Our very sincere condolences to Kathy and family. Bob was a great person!

Kathy, we've been each other's rock for so many years. I know nothing I can do or say can take away your pain or make your heartache go away. I'm at a loss for words.
Bob was everything to everybody. He was the true definition of your soul mate. He was a proud Dad and a proud Grandfather. He was a true friend to everyone. You either loved Bob or you loved him even more.
So at that big table in Heaven, (you know the one, in front of the big screen) Bob is there, grinning ear to ear, laughing that deep hearty laugh, and being the life of the party with everyone that is there. Thanks for the . . . "everything", Uncle Bob.
Love You, Aunt Joyce and Uncle Gary

Bob was one of those people who really brought sunshine and laughter into a room. I will always remember Kathy telling me that when she moved to Mexico, she wanted only three things out of life. Two I've forgotten, but the most important was Bob. I think they had more fun in the time they shared in San Miguel than most people get in an entire lifetime and I'm glad to have known Bob if only for a little while.

Bob was a bright light and good person. He will be missed. May the souls of the faithful departed rest in peace.

Bob and Kathy were my neighbors in San Miguel and my first friends that make there.
We lived in the same condo complex and in the evening I could hear them laughing together ...enjoying each others company. It's one of my fondest memories of getting to know this wonderful couple.
Bob was a kind soul with a big heart and a beautiful smile... that always made me feel welcome and loved.
I always felt at home with Bob and Kathy. We all shared some wonderful meals together and great conversation.
Bob felt like family and I will miss Bob deeply.
I'm grateful that he touched my life. George

Bobby was a childhood neighbor, classmate and friend. His smile never ended. Thinking of his family at this time.

What great guy Bob was. His smile and loud greetings, solid handshake, every time I met him, just made your day. Bob and Kathy willingly volunteered many,many hours for the Lions Club in San Miguel. RIP Bob

Bob cut my hair here in Lawrence for many years. He was such a joy with a great smile and lots of jokes to tell. I will always remember his kindness when my husband died unexpectedly. My condolences to Kathy and his family.

I wish words could express how deeply sad we felt of Bob's passing. His smile, laughter and joy was felt by everyone who knew or met him for the first time. He was known in my house as Barber Bob Brown and made haircuts fun for my boy, Hopper. No one else would do. The memories of Bob will always be with us.

Cut my Hair for years. A wonderful person. He will be missed by many..!

We were so saddened to hear of Bob's passing. He was such a good man. He and Kathy have touched so many lives and made so many wonderful memories for their families and friends. Our love goes out to Kathy and all of her & Bob's family.

Marjann and I always enjoyed being around Bob and were uplifted watching the joyful relationship he shared with Kathy.

We are so shocked and sad over this sudden news.Always looked forward to our cribbage games when in SMA and so many other fun times together, lots of laughs with both of you.
Kathy you have so many wonderful memories of Bob like the rest of us. We hold you in our hearts with loving thoughts & prayers . Millie & Brian Veale , Calgary, Canada

A man of many talents with lots of smiles that will never be forgotten! He will be dearly missed! He had the best positive outlook, goals and treated folks with kindness and respect! We love you Bob!

Bob and Cathy have been my next door neighbors ever since they moved to our Condo in San Miguel several years ago. We'll all miss Bob's ever-present, joyous personality, sense of humor and generosity. In the time they have lived in San Miguel, Bob and Cathy have made more friends than many people have in a lifetime. From his work with the Lions Club to help dispense eyeglasses to needy Mexicans, to his making sure that our Condo gardener was always supplied with his famous chocolate chip cookies, Bob shared his joy of living in San Miguel with everyone he knew. RIP Bob. You can be sure that we'll all do our best to help Cathy through this difficult time.

Bob is one of the nicest persons I 've known. He and Kathy were and still are to me, great and kind. We love you Bob.

We met Bob nd his wife Kathy in San Miguel, MX. They greeted us with big smiles and dinner. Bob was a warm and friendly person. We send our love to his wife, Kathy.

Bob and Kathy were our dear, fun friends. Bob and I played cards, weekly, and it was a total laugh fest. We will miss Bob, dearly, but will take care of our sweet Kathy.

So sorry for your loss.May memories be your comfort.
Friends and neighbors when we lived in Topeka KS on John St. Lots of fun times. Remembered that smile!
Stayed in contact with family and just recently meant back up on Facebook. So sorry .... so sudden ....
May the comforting angels wrap their wings around each family member and bring them all peace. Love Deanna (Gowing) Posik Pipe Creek TX

Bob spread happiness wherever he went. He just couldn't help it. The world is a lesser place.
