Still missing you my brother!!

Jim Lighton

Bob was one of my two brother in law, I have so very memorable moments with him . Like the first time he took me to his hunting lease up by Huntsville, I knew that that he was world famous for his chilli, and we ate it for every meal the only difference was at breakfast he would make scrambled eggs and put his chilli on it !! 
We had such a wonderful time didn't get very much fishing in because it was so dry up there that the cottonmouth snake were there hanging around the pond, we ended up getting 22 of them that night !!! 
I remember the time we went to the gulf and went fishing off the jettie, didn't get any fish to speak of but I learned how to catch crabs !! 
Well I could go on and on, but I will not, I praise God for this AWESOME GREAT MAN and how great he was to everyone !! Rest in peace dear brother, I won't say goodbye, but I will see you later !!! 

Bob was my brother-in-law, more of a brother, for 54 years. It didn't take long after my sister, Nancy, married him that we realized he was the perfect fit for our family. He was kind, loving, fun and smart. For many years when they would come to Michigan, we would have a family party which consisted of the guys being downstairs shooting pool and getting into the beer and the "women-folk upstairs cooking and gossiping!!! It wouldn't be long and you would hear Bob start to giggle over anything and everything. Walking, or maybe I should say weaving, down the hallway he would always run into my sconces that hang on the wall knocking one down!! But never did any of them break, crack or chip!! He would make a face, say "Sorry" and then giggle!!  So many good times with them. His passing is like a nightmare we can't wake up from.     Bob, I'm going to miss you and I love you........Your sister, Karen

Bob and I worked together many years, always a jolly guy with a smile.

Bob, was so smart. He always had that little smile no matter how crazy things got at A&S. I know I asked enough questions to drive him crazy. He would just chuckle and keep on explaining what I needed to do to get my computer to work for me. I will always remember him. I know without a doubt that I shall see him again in Heaven.

My 'DEEPEST' sympathy for the family's loss of Bob.  Bob was my right hand man in 'repudiating' the 'manure' spread by the liberal left on 'face book'.  His demeanor was much better then mine, in handling the posts, that the 'public' need to read, yet were and 'are' still 'censored'.  He will be sadly missed by 'ALL', that knew him.  I first met Bob at DePeyster Grade school in Kent, Portage County, Ohio.  And, we followed our paths up through our graduations from Kent Roosevelt High School in 1964.  Bob, then going on to the Air Force, and I, on to the Navy.  He was and 'IS' a 'STRONG PATRIOT' for this country, and will be with the 'LORD' when he returns to fight the anti-christ and the forces of evil.  YOU MAY BET THE FARM ON THAT!!!

"REST IN PEACE UNTIL THE TIME OF THE RAPTURE, 'OLD FRIEND', for the time is 'FAST APPROACHING'!!
