My heart breaks for his daughter Lucy, his mom, Caroline, and his best friend Jodi. They were all the world to him and And his first priority. But he never forgot his friends. Bobby was one of the few people in my life I could always count on. And a moments notice he would be there with an ear to listen, a hug to comfort or a truck to help move, a hand putting up sheet rock and many many more things. He was an amazing friend, an employee. But most of all he was best dad I think I have ever met. I gave him a photo collage of his daughter one year for his birthday. And he said it was the best gift he ever received because she was everything to him. I will miss our talks, him sharing pictures of Lucy, the smile and The metal horn sign that he always threw up for every picture.
Rest in Peace, Bob. You will be missed 🖤
Bob was a great guy always had a smile on his face fun to be around he will be sadly missed forever ❤️❤️❤️

Bob was a very go lucky happy guy
You were a true friend to all. You will live on in the hearts of all that knew you. I know you will be watching over Lucy, your mom and all of those whom you loved!
My son Clifford Farris, was a very close friend of Bob’s growing up, Bob, Chris May and my son were very close friends all thru junior high school and high school, after high school they grew even closer. Bob you will surely be missed, rest in peace.
Kind, gentle soul and very empathetic. One the most amazing humans ever
Lucy. He loved her with everything he had.
Bob would happily drop everything to help out a friend. We could always count on him when you needed him. I don’t know one person that knew him that has anything bad to say about him. He was the very definition of what a friend should be.
I met Bobby at a party when I was 16. I’ll never forget he was wearing a Bahamas t-shirt that said something about “I’m a virgin”. Me being me of course I went over and started a conversation with him. Turned out we both went to PRVTC. After that we remained close friends, became roommates in our twenties, and stayed good friends after that. I cherished my friendship with Bobby and will always be grateful for the time spent with him. I’m devastated that we all couldn’t have more times with him.
He was the best uncle anyone could ever ask for
Bobby and I made friends in kindergarten. From there we went thru 2nd grade. Then on to middle school and finally graduated from Portland High School together. He was one of my oldest friends. We lived as roommates and shared many memories throughout our 45 year friendship. There’s only two men I considered brothers, and Bob was definitely one of them. We shared all the highs and lows of any relationship and always came back to center. He was the best of us, he was there for us.His character should be the example. His memory I will hold on high.
Bobby was quite the break dancer back in the day! He also was an excellent singer and could carry any tune note for note. The electric bass guitar was his thing in the late eighties into the nineties. Finally Bob could dance! He was known to cut the mustard from time to time. He had the moves!!
Bobby was one of those individuals that almost always had a smile on his face. He had such a cheerful disposition and a gentle approach to people. He could make friends with most anyone and had many who spoke highly of him. He was always willing to reach out when someone needed a shoulder to lean on. His personality was something to aspire too.
May Bob’s memory light someone’s darkness so that they can find there way
My deepest condolences to Bob’s family to whom I’ve known for years. My heart aches your loss. My thoughts go out to you and Lucy as you deal with this tragedy.
Bob was kind , he had the greatest smile that always made you feel he was glad to see you .
My sympathies to the family, especially Lucy and her mom in this difficult time. I and many others at WR loved Bobby so much. He was a kind person who would do anything to help others and worked as hard as he could. He expressed often how important his role as father was for Lucy. We loved to see her when he brought her in to the office. He was doing so well at the time of his passing. This is a significant loss to those who knew him. His passing is so unfair.
I’m his step sister we got along great only had one tif between us and of course I can’t remember what it was about but I do remember hitting him in the head with a smurf radio I felt bad after as I know he didn’t deserve it
Great handsome man who loved his daughter family and friends with all his heart
He was a great all around guy I don’t think you could meet anyone with anything bad to say about him
You will be very missed little brother give everyone hugs and kisses up there and watch over us all as we grieve your unsuspecting passing
I’ve known bob since I was like 9-10 we grew up on Sherman street together!!He truly was my best friend, I’ll never forget all the stuff we’ve done throughout our years.
So sorry for your loss, Bob was an amazing person.
Bob was by far one of the most genuine people I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing. Heaven gained one ROCKIN’ Angel. Hugs Bob. XOXO
