Heartfelt sympathy for the family of Bobby.,you will truly be missed by many. Your kindness toward me & kristi & Kevin was a true example of Christian love and family bond during a very difficult time for me.And your goodness shined thru to so many others who knew you throughout your life. Rest In Peace my friend until we meet again in heaven .
Susan and I are sorry to hear of Bob’s death and fondly remember him and your family. I have pictures of him and a video of him and crew painting at our house on Liberty Street, and how you all came by as he worked years ago. He did good work for us through many years and we liked him. Hope all goes well with your family now after what was surely a long and trying time.
Mr. Paterson, greetings, I am one of Bob’s daughters, Jenna. I am wondering, by chance, if you still have the video or pictures of my dad painting your property? Perhaps I’ll hear back from you, or perhaps I won’t, either way he is gone physically.
