  1. I met Bobby in January 1990. I was the first Rotary Exchange Student to Mt Pleasant. Bobby had been instrumental in ensuring the exchange took place. Before leaving for Texas, I rang Bobby and we spoke on the phone. Bobby assured me that I would be met at Dallas airport. I assumed all Texans would look like JR Ewing and so was very surprised when we finally met. He was nothing like I pictured during that phone call. Bobby and his family welcomed me into their homes and I will be forever grateful for his love and support, his ability to calm me when I was worried or homesick, and his ability to translate Aussie to Texan. I will remember him for introducing me to jalapeños, long car journeys, laughter and the best hugs. A visit to Texas was not complete until we’d had lunch at a Mexican restaurant. While I’m not there in person, know I will be thinking of you all at this sad time. Bobby will always hold a special place in my heart. May he rest in peace xxxx

  1. Bobby was my brother by marriage. All our family loved him from the moment we met him. I remember many good times spending summers at his and June’s house and especially when he cooked Mexican food for us!! He was a strong Christian, generous, thoughtful and always full of fun! I will miss his sweet spirit and smile. I am comforted to know he is in Heaven and free of pain and suffering. See you again someday ‘�?�

  3. Bobby G was one of my dad’s (Bob Van Cleave) best friends. They worked together for 34 years at Texas Parks and Wildlife and enjoyed telling their stories with the other retirees at The Wavy V Ranch, where I got to know Bobby. Blessings to June, Jill and Bobby, Jr from all the Van Cleave Family.

  5. My condolences to Bobby’s family and friends. Please know he was loved and respected by so many. Bobby Alexander welcomed me into TPWD when I was a seasonal and treated me as if I had been in the department for years. In fact he gave me my first TPWD hat and made it clear he was disappointed that no one else had. ???? He set a wonderful example of how to treat folks and earn their loyalty. I will remember him as he was: a champion for wildlife, a consummate professional and always with a smile on his face.
