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.
