Bob and Gloria were great friends with my parents, Norman and Clara Hettman. I was a year older than Bobbie and was good friends with his Sister Cheryl. I appreciated reading Bob's obituary and want to express both my congratulations and condolences to Diane and the rest of her family. It is wonderful that you chose to be and eternal family which probably brings you much peace. It is wonderful that you got to grow old together in Moab, a place we all loved growing up together too. - Leslie Hettman Watson1/20/2015 - Diane I just wanted to say how sorry I am to hear of your loss.

I still remember those French fries from the truck wreck, the road kill you called me about, so long ago. I always appreciated your wisdom, your character. I wish I'd have kept in touch. I was blessed knowing you. Thank you Bob. Wayne Ruth - Wayne ruth1/14/2015 - I will remember Bob as a kind, loving man who always had a smile on his face. I know him most as the grandfather to my daughter Charity's children, Brenden, Tayler and Tristan. He always showed love and kindness to them. He had unconditional love for them and they knew that and loved him very much. Bob you will not be forgotten and may your days be sunny and bright with our Father in Heaven as you ride along on Cocoa. - Terry RobinsonPhoto Gallery - Click a Picture For Enlarged Slide Show Printable Page Add Picture Add Tribute/Condolence PLEASE NOTE: Pictures and Tributes will be reviewed before being posted.
