Bob was the best brother-in-law anyone could ask for. I’m going to miss our morning coffee time, and long talks… RIP brother…
Bob was an active member for many years… We’ll miss him…
Bob was an Amazing man and Uncle. Now, as an adult, I still cherish the childhood memories I have of him. Teaching me to tie a hook to a fishing line. To gut and clean a trout, or to remove rust from a car battery. These lessons are seared into my memory forever.
RIP Uncle Bob. I will forever love you.

I was deeply saddened to hear about Bob’s passing. He truly embodied kindness and gentlemanly grace, qualities that are increasingly rare in today’s world. I never heard him utter a negative word about anyone, a testament to his genuine spirit. Please accept my heartfelt condolences during this difficult time.
As Senior Cousin on his Mothers side I have fond memories of the Dewey boy’s!!!
We loved to have the whole crew come on weekends.
But like all families you lose touch as we get older.
I was lucky Bob and Beth stopped at our place in Arkansas a couple of times plugged in the RV and
Spent the night. We had a great time going down memory lane.
He will be missed I was blessed to get to spend time with him.
My condolences to family and friends.
