My fondiest memory of Bob was doing rodeo practices at his house and my Uncle Satch lived by there we would go watch and the love for horses began. Thanks for all the good memories. I grew up in Eudora

So sorry to hear of Bob's passing. I'll always remember him laughing and joking around. Strangely enough, occasionally when I open my freezer door he crosses my mind remembering what he always hid in there when he was a barber! I know two special people in heaven that were there to greet him and they are most likely having some laughs!
