Bob was a good friend that I always looked forward to seeing and talking to. He always listened when I had questions and did everything he could to help me. I will miss him greatly. To Carol and Robyn, you are in my thoughts and prayers. I've never met you, but Bob always talked about you when we were together. May God bless and keep you.
Carol and Robyn; I want to let you know my thoughts and prayers are with at this time. I have only known Bob for 2-1/2 years and always appreciated his humor and honesty. Life is so strange. Tuesday morning, as I was getting ready for work I thought of Bob. I am going to go to see Willie Nelson later this month and remembering his story about his uncle and Willie made me think of Bob. We all know God has a plan, it sometimes take time to figure it out. God Bless all of you. Mike Haney STIHL Inc
Bob and I first met at Bryan Adams high school. We played football together and were good friends. We went a lot of places together and did a lot of things in high schools. Some of my favorite memories were of us going for burgers at Charco's and Kips, sometimes after dates, sometimes after games. Bob bought a 1939 Ford when we were in high school and we spent a lot of time under that car trying to keep it running, but I really remember that red and white Rambler that was his mom's and going all over in that car as well. During college Bob would come in for summers and holidays and we would pick right up like we were still in high school. Bob was always the level headed one and kept me out of more scrapes that I like to think about, but that was what friends were for. Bob was my best man when I got married in 1973. After college Bob moved to New Orleans and it was harder to keep in touch, but after he and Carol were married , they eventually moved back to Dallas. Then came kids, jobs and life in general. In 1985 I moved to Houston and lived there for the next 22 years while Bob stayed in the Dallas area. After that we stayed in contact mostly by phone. I always consider Bob to be one of my best friends, if not my best friend and I will miss him. My thoughts are with Carol and Robyn at this time. Goodbye Bob, I'll see you when I get there.
All of us at Central Power Equipment will truly miss Bob. May God be with you always. Central Power Equipment 4121 N MacArthur Oklahoma City, Ok 73122
To my colleague and friend, You left us suddenly and too soon. I will miss your humor, your laugh and all that made you that special friend. My thoughts and prayers go out to Carol, Robyn and all of the Ragland family. Stuart Lumpkin
