Dear Norma, we, the Mendez Family just heard about Robert's passing. We are in disbelieve that our beloved friend is no longer with us, but know that he will remain in our hearts forever. He was one more of our  family throughout our childhood years. Armi, Elia and rest of the brew.

Dear Norma, I found out about Bobby's death this weekend while visiting with several of his classmates from Cathedral. I am shocked, saddened and want to express my sincere condolences.  He was way too young to have left you and us. Please know I will cherish his memory.  Ray Adauto

To the Rodela family, I am saddened to learn of Bobby's passing...just found out today...I worked with Bobby on many projects at Fort Bliss and to say the least, he was the ultimate friend as well as co-worker.  His attitude was always "never say never"...together we accomplished seemingly unsolvable tasks.  He helped me be successful in my work and travels to El Paso.  I was one of his biggest admirers and always thought the best of Bobby.  My prayers and deepest sympathy are extended to his wife and daughter and extended family.  The world has truly lost a "pillar of strength".  The Lord and heaven have been blessed by his arrival.  I Love You Bobby...

To the Rodela family:

I worked with Bobby for many years at Ft Bliss and he always had a big smile and kind word for everyone.  He was such a good man with a wonderful work ethic.  He will be missed but I assure you he is in Heaven.  

God Bless,
Colleen Burns

I went to "La Cate" with Bobby and he always had a smile, we played football and he always played hard. My heart was saddened when I heard but I'm sure I'll see him again in heaven. 
God bless you Norma and family.

On behalf of my mother-in-law, wife and children I want to express to everyone our gratitude.  We are truly humbled by everyone's regard for my father-in-law. Thank you, for your consideration, kind words and deepest sentiments. 

Not how did he die, but how did he live?
Not what did he gain, but what did he give?
These are the units to measure the worth Of a man as a man, regardless of birth.
Not, what was his church, nor what was his creed?
But had he befriended those really in need? 
Was he ever ready, with word of good cheer,
To bring back a smile, to banish a tear?
Not what did the sketch in the newspaper say,
But how many were sorry when he passed away.

“This is the measure of a good man, Robert will be missed.”

Mrs, Rodela please except our condolences from the Ft. Bliss RV Park. Bobby played an intriquit part in overseeing the worlds most beautiful park and then a beautiful golf course.

I offer your prayers of peace and strength.  Your loss is a great loss not only to your family but also to the MWR family. Bobbie leaves his handprint in every MWR facility. He will be missed. Lots of prayers

I was so sad to learn this news.  You all will be in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.  May you find peace and cherish the love by way of the precious memories.  XO

May his memories always remain in the hearts of those he touched.

Dear Norma and Laura, 
Bobby will be missed alot, but remembered for all the good be brought to this world. I worked with him for many years and he always made my job easier and I learned so much from him. I will always remember the day he took my grand daughter Katie 4 yrs old, on her first horse ride, through the 3 leaf barrels, Bobby was running in front and Katie was hanging on tight on the big white horse. They took 3rd place.
I will always hold Bobby's memory close and remember him always in my prayers.
