It has been a pleasure to have known Bob, husband to my cousin Nancy, since 1960. He was always a great guy, from the days that I was a somewhat bratty teenager who occasionally “dropped in” from the East Coast until the last 25 years that we have lived in California and got to spend time with Bob and Nancy. He was always pleasure to be around, never had a bad word to say about anyone and was always ready for a good laugh. My family and I have only good memories of our time with Bob and Nancy. He was skilled and knowledgeable about many things but was in a class all to himself when it came to the “limp handshake.” We will always remember him for these extraordinary qualities. We will miss him and fondly remember him and great times that we spent with him. He was one of a kind! Mark, Janice, Elizabeth and Andrew

Bob, thank you for sharing Mrs. Van with us. She was our school mom and our voice. As her “kids” we have a special place in her heart. But, you have her whole heart. You were her joy and sunshine. Our hearts are broken. You’ll be missed dearly. We’ll miss your kind and quiet gesture at our next gathering with our school mom. We love you!

Doug Bruce publicó un comentario It was nice to see you & Bob honored by so many friends. Bob & I used to compare similarities in our lives. It seems if we only changed a few pic's, names, football to hockey & I was 15 & June 16. An unforgettable memory in my life was the Friday golf match with 4 supposed adults (Brownie, Merle, Bob & I) competing to not host the dreaded 3-putt snake & the10 cent payout.

Two memories:
• Bob and I stacked lumber at Hollenbeck & Bush in Fresno for two summers together - we could make $1000 a summer while guys who worked at the Chevron Station or Camp Curry in Yosemite had more fun but not as much money
• It was great spending some time with Bob & Nancy at their place in Watsonville in recent years

Bob was such a gentleman and always showed his love for you, I could see it when he looked at you. You have wonderful memories, keep them close and know many friends and family are keeping you in our thoughts. Bob was a wonderful husband, father, and grandfather, may he Rest In Peace.

Dave Biggers publicó un comentario Bob and I would walk 18 holes at Costa Mesa municipal when he and Nancy would stay with us on their way to Palm Springs. After paying green fees and waiting for the call to the first tee, we were introduced to the married couple that made up our foursome. In no time Bob had made new friends since they were from Wisconsin and were familiar with the Van Galder bus lines. It was typical Bob enjoying life
