I want to offer my sincere condolences to Bob’s family; I’m so very sorry to hear of his passing. I had the pleasure of knowing him for several years and always enjoyed talking with him and Vivian. If I can do anything please let me know and you are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Saddened to hear of Joe’s passing. Met him many years ago while serving in the Navy. He introduced this rock n Roll California boy to country music and especially Merle Haggard. For that I am grateful. I remember Joe as a stand-up guy and through life changes always considered him a friend. He will be missed. My condolences to Vivian. She was with him through thick and thin. Wishing my friend a fair wind and following sea. Ron
When I saw the obituary with the picture of that handsome young sailor it brought back so many memories. That is how I remember my brother-in-law. He was that sailor who brought music with him everywhere he went. I can still see him sitting in my living room playing his guitar. His face would light up when his kids would dance along with his music. He wouldn’t care if they danced all night. He was visiting once when I was a young teenager and he politely asked if I would give him my 45 record of “Party Doll”. He loved that song and wanted to learn how to play it. I loved it too, so being a selfish young person I said No. He politely tried to persuade me a few more times but to no avail. I remember how he accepted my refusal like a perfect gentleman. That was the first time I was impressed with his calm and easy way of doing things. He seemed to be the voice of reason. Always a gentleman. He was never pretentious yet he could talk intelligently about anything. He had a quiet dignity and he was always kind to me. I will miss him very much.
Vivian so sorry to hear of Mr Bob’s death. You and your family are in my prayers. Love you Viv.
