Betty, Sandi, Marsha, and family, Sorry to hear of Bob's passing and wanted you to know you all are in our thoughts and prayers. Sure did appreciate Bob and his good attitude he had toward life, friendly and optimistic. I know he will be missed but we know he is in God's presence and that can give us peace and comfort. Mike and Janet Cagle
Your family is in our prayers. We love you and will keep you lifted to the Lord.
My condolences to this family as you are part of my family and always been a part of my life. I know it is hard to lose someone as special as Bob but I would like to think he is having a great time in heaven with my parents.
There is a prayer that is said before every rodeo that I have been to. It reminds me of Bob. I know Heaven is glad to have another Cowboy like him. Our Heavenly Father, we pause at this time,mindful of the many blessings you have bestowed upon us. We ask, Lord, that you will be with us in the arena of life.We as cowboys do not ask for special favors. We don't ask to draw around the chute fighting horse, the steer that won't lay, or to never break the barrier. We don't even ask for all the daylight runs.We do ask Lord, that you will help us live our lives here on earth as cowboys, in such a manner, that when we make that last inevitable ride, to the country up there, where the grass grows lush, green, and stirrup high, and the water runs cool, clear, and deep, that you'll take us by the hand and say-"Welcome to Heaven Cowboy, you entry fees are paid up"Rest in peace Bob,I know your entry fees are paid in full! I will always remember you and the great time we had riding and working together at the UofA Beef farm.
I pray that you have a beautiful Stallion to ride in heaven.
Bob was a wonderful gentleman. I had the privilege to work with Bob thru Dr. CJ and Dr. Ray when I was employed at the Animal Science department for a few years. I remember his smile and laugh, his love of working with cattle and riding his horse. May God bless and comfort you at this time.
Bob was a great friend and neighbor. I grew up admiring him for his horse savvy. When I needed help with mine, he was always there. Betty, girls, our prayers are with you all.
Rest in peace Uncle Bob.....You will be missed.
I remember the time's that Dr. Pete spent time at the farm with Bob. Pete thought so much of Bob.
Boa was my hero when I was a child. He was a real cowboy! He worked with my dad, Dr.Maurice Ray at the U. of A. farm.I will always have wonderful memories of him. Carolyn Ray Crider
