I will never forget that you stepped up as a great man and walked me down the isle that day, how many times you've helped me along the way, the way you loved your family was amazing. You had the biggest heart and were always there when I needed something or just to lend an ear. You always supported me in anytime of need just with your wisdom alone. You love your Great Grandchildren, Tanner and Donavin so very much and it always showed in just a smile. I will never forget your selflessness, your amazing personality and your heart. I love you Grandpa. You will be missed tremendously.

Grandpa, I have called you that every sense Donavin was born. I have been in the family for 37 years now and you always treated me wonderful like I was one of your own daughters instead of a daughter in law. When you left us , you surely took a big part of my heart with you.. I loved you just like you were my own father. May you RIP now and forever until we meet again.. I love you..😇❤️

RIP Uncle Bob. Have not had the opportunity to see much of you these past few years. But what I do remember is that you were always a happy go lucky guy & loved to be around family. You were also a dear husband to my Aunt Dorothy. Heaven has yet gained another angel!!! Praying for the family.

My grandfather was a man who never let me go to school a day without saying that he loved me, and that I was his daughter, not his granddaughter. He gave just about everything he had to make sure my gram and I lived comfortably and happily. Grandpa was a hard worker, and a tough man on the outside, but on the inside? Only my family knows how big his heart was. We love you grandpa, and we will miss you, more than words can express.
