Bobby was a friend of mine back in the day that I was a dispatcher. We had gone hunting together on our days off. It’s been a long time but it only feels like yesterday. One of my favorite stories was him shooting a deer and having to finish it off with his hunting knife- while he was sitting on it! Now THAT’s the Bobby I remember…

What do you say about a man that I had wished I knew better. You were the type of a guy that was always low key and laid back with us and always made me and our family feel right at home being around you wherever you were. I (Joe) knew you as a great Brother- in- law and a guy that really love my sister. You two were meant for each other.  You helped me get through some rough times in my life and also helped me better understand my Mom when dealing with her was sometimes a little rough. You always had a good joke to lighten the mood. I will truly miss you and All of our family that went to be with God. Tell them all that we miss them so much and we all hope to be together someday again. As we know that you all are watching over us and guiding us in our every day lives. Our prayers are with Jackie, Nicki, David, Jonathan, and the rest of your family and friends. We all Loved you Bob and will miss you much. All our Love the Dundore family.

Dearest Jackie and Family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you in your sudden loss.
I regret that I will not be able to attend the services today as I am home with the flu, but I will keep you in my thoughts throughout today and the days to come; hoping that you will hold on to and cherish the fond memories  you have of Bob.
Sincerely
Jo Cochran
