Bob It has been one year ago today that you have been gone but I miss you as much now as when you left I have some precious memories of our years together which I cherish.  I am lucky we had great kids and grand kids as they are always there for me. Faith,Jayda, Kaleb and Abby ask about you all time and miss you, especially your ice cream cones and milkshakes.They are such good little kids you would love them. Jayda says you are watching over her.Riley really misses you .Thank you for being such a good husband,father,grandfather and g. grandfather.You always put us before yourself and even when you were so sick you suffered in silence. I wish I could have done more for you and helped you cope. But you never complained and I admire you so much for that, You were so brave you fought right until the end.I know you did not want to leave us ,just as we did not want you to go. I hope Heaven is as beautiful as they say it is and you are happy with all your family
I love you and miss so much each and every day. Till we meet again Bob.    
Loving you forever 
Joan

I MISS YOU SOOO MUCH!I WISH I COULD GIVE YOU A HUG AND KISS .IT HAS BEEN ONE YEAR SINCE I DID NOT HAVE YOUR ICE CREAM   JUST REMEMBER YOUR ICE CREAMS ARE AS SWEET AS YOUR HEART

Happy Father's Day dad!!!!  It has almost been a year since you left us here but I can honestly say that a day has not gone by that I have not thought of you in some way.  Sometimes people don't know what it is that they miss until it is gone but I knew what I was going to miss and it doesn't make it any easier.  Your quiet courage and strength got us all through the times you were so ill and you never complained or asked for anything.  I wish I could have done more for you and I am so sad that you had to leave us at such a young age because I know you had so much that you wanted to say and do.  I can feel you around me all the time in spirit because sometimes I get strength and feel clever when I know that I am on total overload.  I am doing my best to try to help out our family when I can and sometimes it isn't much but I am trying. Thank you for everything that you did for me and my family.  I love you and will never forget you.  I hope you are enjoying watching the little ones grow up, they are so precious and are our legacy. I dream you are sitting in a comfy chair watching a car race with Brandy on one lap, Sam on the other lap and Grandma Rose sitting beside you knitting a sweater.  Love you always your "favorite" daughter Lori

It's been over 3 months now since you left us.....wow! I miss you lots and know you are watching over all of us offering your help and advice every day .
Love ya 
Rob

I miss you every day Grandpa(Pompa), I hope and pray that you are in a better place were you can breath and run and play with Sam and Brandy(Dogs) I will miss you forever and always. xoxoxox
I LOVE YOU XO

Gramps was a great role model in my life, from teaching me about cars to taking me to races all of which I greatly enjoyed. He was like a father to me and im going to miss him a lot. Before he passed he gave me the best advice i have ever had and that is to keep strong, work as hard as i can and not let anything get in my way. Those words are with me everyday. Seeing his strength through his battle constantly reminds me I can be just as strong for the things i believe in. RIP Gramps Love Nick

I miss you Papa because you were the best Papa in the world.  I love you a lot and remember sweet things about you.

Dear Joan, Lori, Rob and Lani - we are so sorry for your loss. May Our Good and Gracious God comfort you during this difficult time. May the soul of Robert, through the mercy of God rest in peace. 

Love - Lee Anne and family

Dad was an amazing father. I remember swimming in the ocean with him when I was a little girl. I remember spending summer days at the race track at Langley Speedway when I was little and then Nascar events in Vernon as an adult. I remember anytime I needed something Dad would help Mom find it for me. I remember always knowing he would be there for me, in the good and the bad times as well.  I remember wanting his opinions, for when he spoke, I listened to every word. I REMEMBER 
I love you Dad and pray that you are in a better place with no suffering or sadness.  Love forever, your daughter, Lana

Grandpa was an extraordinarily kind man. He always looked out for us grandkids, great grandkids and his loving son, daughters and wife. Every day that passed during Gramps' short time with us, I cherished because he never stopped making strides for a better life for us, even in his last days.
I remember loving spending time with him, at the go-karts or the beach. He will always have a special place in my heart.

We are very sorry for the loss of your family's "Patriarch".  Our hearts, thoughts and prayers go out to you during this difficult time.

Joan, our thoughts are with you and your family at this very sad time; may you find comfort in the love and memories that he left behind.

~Heather, Scott, Logan, and Alexa Fisher
