    My dad chose his words twords me in what seemed harsh or careless at times. However I didn't mind due to our unique father son relationship.... We stuck it out when things happened that we never expected. That were wrong in the eyes of others but we became closer due to the adversity and rejections imposed upon us. Point being is my father's words still unfold many helping pieces of advice and expose to myself things he probably never intended. I always looked up to him even when I didn't want him to know it.If I picked one of the best things I've gotten from him it would be the feeling I get where we left off by his passing,... We were at our goal team drivers and we're getting along great.. we got there..... But never got the chance to really enjoy what we worked twords for 20plus years since 1989..... But we did his strength carried me through when had not be|n for him I would have slipped away and never have made it... Fact..

    My dad will always be in my heart and my thoughts. In my daily walk from now and forwards I shall always love and cherish our time together on this earth . I pray that one day i can hold my dad in one of those hugs we frequently shared. We were always honest with eachother and did the best we knew how. We are closer than we even knew. Only now do I begin to fathom how deeply we loved one another . As father and son,also as brothers .whatever parts of our time together had in store for us ,we never stopped trying to get better .he is the best part of me ,as I am the best part him.those are the blessings we shared together every day. And even apart like we are now . And nothing can ever take that away not even death.

    Uncle Bobby, My Uncle Bobby taught me how to shop at the grocery stores and save money. He took me to the thrift stores to buy me shoes for work. When Uncle Bobby was working for Ace Relocation I would work with him time to time. My Mom thought we were staying in a motel but instead we would save the money and sleep in the trailer! One time we took some glass display cabinets to Arrowhead. We had to put chains on the truck due to snow. When we arrived at Arrowhead the glass cabinets needed to be repaired! Another time we were driving around in his car and the radio caught on fire. We managed to pull the radio out of the car and we then threw it out of the window!. The reason for the radio catching on fire was because Uncle Bobby just twisted the wires together!. Thankfully we were not hurt. Uncle Bobby stayed with me in Temecula with his son, Bobby, at one time. The next morning we got up and his alternator was out. So I fixed it and he was on his way. He stayed with me in Utah for a week. Uncle Bobby was always enjoyable to have around. The last job I worked with Uncle Bobby was in Laguna Beach. After the job he couldn't bring me home. So I chose to walk to a friend's home. I eventually made it to my own home. Uncle Bobby always wanted me to move to Washington with him. The last time I saw Uncle Bobby was at Gramma and Grampa LaBouve's home and he put some amazing pictures of Washington on the TV for us to watch. Uncle Bobby would always give food to the people on the street corners holding up their signs. Uncle Bobby gave food to the homeless more times than I can think of. He gave me all of his Army clothes. I wear them proudly to this day. The day my Mom called me to tell me that Uncle Bobby had passed away I was wearing one of his Army shirts. He was always giving me electronics. Such a gracious and giving Uncle he was. I will greatly miss my Uncle Bobby. Love you Uncle Bobby, Your Nephew---Justin Ward

    I have been blessed with Robert's love and friendship for the last three years. He was, to the core (corp!), a gentleman. It was completely unconscious on his part, just his nature. He was a quiet, truly thoughtful man that noticed everything and had the gift of perception. He never hesitated to say and show his love to family and friends. One of the first wonderful things I learned about Robert was that he spoke with his parent's every day. Every day!! Who wouldn't love a man like that??!! When he learned that my parents had passed many years ago, he offered to share his with me....and he really meant it! Robert was a grown-up in all the ways you want a man to be --- responsible, reliable, dependable. He was also so young at heart. He enjoyed silly jokes, talking to children, making up fish-related lyrics to non-fish songs. All things fun! We also shared a deep appreciation of the natural world God has given us. He never looked more content than when we were out floating around pretty much any ol' lake in his little green boat. To say he was a blessing in my life is a huge understatement. He was my "knight in shining armor." We were always aware of, and deeply grateful to God for the grace He bestowed with our love for each other. We never expected to be given the joy and companionship we shared. He was my very best friend. He taught me so many things that will help me forever. He left me with more wonderful memories than seems possible in three short years. I will be missing him for the rest of my time here. -- Jodi

    Robert was soft hearted and compassionate. Once he went with Karen and I to visit our old Aunt Tressie in a rest home in Fullerton. He noticed that her slippers she wore everywhere where worn out and full of holes. Robert left and went downtown and returned with new slippers and put them on Aunt Tressie's feet. Robert loved his boys, Bobby and Eric and his grandchildren very much. I'll see Robert again in Heaven as he accepted Jesus as his Savior from sin. Guy

    To My Brother Bobby, I thank my Savior Jesus for blessing me with such a gracious and handsome brother. I am grateful that you chose me to take care of you. I will always remember the kind words that you shared with me while I was caring for you during your last days here on earth. Of course I thought you were going to be with me much longer, but our Lord had much different plans. And we all know that His plans are much greater than ours. You said that I was sweet and that Dad was right, you are beautiful Karen. Later that night you talked to Mom and Dad over the phone and told Dad that I was taking good care of you. Those words meant so much to me. I was so blessed to be with you from the beginning to the end. It was an honor to be with you and hold your hand till your last breath. You are now in Glory with Jesus for eternity. I can truly imagine as you entered into Glory that you knelt down before Jesus giving Him praise, a big hug and a kiss. I know that as you were called home to Glory it wasn't a goodbye, it was "I'll see you soon." I will miss you and your early morning calls. I remember one morning when you called you asked me "What are you doing?" I told you that I was singing a song to you. The song that I was singing to you was "Give Me Jesus." "In the morning when I rise give me Jesus, you can have all this world, but give me Jesus." When I meet you in Glory soon, we can sing the song to our Savior Jesus together! This is one of the verses you underlined in your Bible that I gave to you on June 4, 2010: 2 Corinthians 12:9 "My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness. Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me." I underlined a special verse in my Bible on 12/16/02 for you. I am thankful that I was able to share it with you. This verse matches you perfectly. Proverbs 22:9 "He who is generous will be blessed. For he gives some of his food t
