Cheryl,
So very sorry for the loss of this lovely fun loving man. Will always remember with great joy crashing your wedding 15 years ago and being welcomed and the good times we shared after that. Unfortunately hearing this sad news after the services but please know you are in our prayers and the Millers offer our deepest sympathies. Love to you and your family.

 I am so sorry for your loss it seems like all the good ones go first Bobby was always laughing and had a smile on his face you guys were two peas in a pod. Cher Wishing you comfort  from family and friends for the days to come 

Bobby, I remember always being at your house as a kid, cos you let me play with your toys, and you always pickin on me I believe I got the nickname Johnnie awful from you and it stuck for years. It was a pleasure knowing you. Wish we spent more time together. Will miss you all the same. Good bye cos 
Little Reb

Bobby, God seems to take the good ones way too early.  We will miss you so much. Thanks for all of the times you surprised us and  snowblowed our sidewalks, beer in hand...we’re so glad we wandered down for last fall’s horseshoe party and got to hang out one last time in the ‘porchmonkey’. You and Cher are two of a kind, love you both so much. Godspeed old friend!  

So many great memories with 
Our Good Friend Bobby.
Going to the Chicago Land Speedway in the camper for the races. He had a smile on his face the whole weekend. And how serious he was when he made his blueberry waffles on  his waffle iron for breakfast.  And Our Bloody Mary mornings.  So many laughs we shared.
All the good times at Maplewood Inn where I believe he met the love of his life...Cher.  
He had such a kind hearted soul and was always laughing. Every one enjoyed his company. 
Drive that race car to the heavens our friend "Bobby" !  


Sad to hear of this. I remember visiting Marylyn as usual and Bobby would come give us a hard time and jokingly and give us wet wilys .yuck. He was so nice tho. I really liked him and thought he was so cute. God bless and comfort Marylyn and his family. 

I may only have made it to a few of the "end of the summer" parties but I will always remember Bobby's smiling face, him playing horseshoes and showing so much adoration to his wife Cher.  He was an angel on earth who has now earned his wings.   Love you and miss you Bobby.
