Another year,
Another tear-
And smile,
For what we had-
And what you gave us.
Everyone saw the potential,
Saw what you had to give.
They warmed themselves by your fire.
You helped them live.
Almost Eight long years ,
Gone by so quickly.
It was hard to see your weakness.
I never saw you sickly.
Were you a rock cracked apart by freezing water?
Or were you the water-
Our hearts the rock?
Still heartbroken if I think.
So I Try to focus on the beauty -
Of your life.
You were always stronger than me.
Yet I would have carried you somehow,
as far as I needed to.
Just to help you out.
If I had another chance.
Yes there are things I would have done.
Just to help you see -
Your future daughter or your son.

I'm a father now- and it's still not possible to see.
The depth of the impact on your parents -
and the grief.
Life is supposed to be beautiful ,
And it's supposed to be long.
I want my kids to outlive me,
It's all still so wrong.
A loss so deep,
And a pain so strong.
I couldn't make sense of it then -
And I can't now.
Sitting in the same place on the beach-
Facing again what I never wanted to see.
I just try to hold on,
to your memory.
A quick flame you lit -
And You helped us see.
I miss you brother
Dear Bobby.

Hi Bobby..So many years have passed since I've seen or spoken to you, yet you remainded in my heart and my mind all along. When I heard the news I couldn't breathe..I went straight to my moms and pulled out the the cards, letters, & pictures you sent years ago. Somehow reading them again made me feel better. We were kids when we met and I wish I would have been able to know the wonderful man you became. I have so many memories..your dad trying to teach me to wake board when Lea and I came to visit - I was a disaster and you didn't laugh like everyone else (well maybe a little). hanging out at the lake, rafting in Yosemite, ours talks late at night falling asleep on the phone and waking up with you still there, your visits to "my desert town" - my heart tatoo on my ankle that you did with indian ink and a needle, track #10 on Brooks and Dunn Brand New Man Cd.. You had such a love for life and I was always so incredibly amazed at how close your family was and the bond you all share. Thank you for being so wonderful to me and for teaching me how to have fun with everything life has to offer and how to love unconditionally, I am a better person for having you in my life all those years ago, and I will remember you always.

Bobby,

So dude I needed to talk to you a bit, it’s been a long time… Words can’t express the way I felt when I heard the news. I was just looking through the pictures of you and the family. I feel so blessed to have been able to share a big part of my life with you. You always treated me like a brother and your Mom and Dad like their own son.  

We had so many great times I don’t know where to start… Being pulled doubles on the knee boards trying to spray each other, Kimber fields on the quad and dirt bike, paintball (somehow you got me right between the eyes on the forehead), Sand bowling and driving through fire in Cancun, ping pong, “beer pong”, beer bong (that doubled as a fog horn!) baseball cards, so many nights playing cards, singing “friend in low places” and on and on! “Nuts” as you would say!

You will be missed and will remain in my heart forever.

Love ya Buddy            

Merry Christmas

Jamie

Hey buddy, thought I'd have a little talk with you tonight.  You've been on my mind and in my heart ever since you left.   It's so awful hurtful for me,but I know you're at peace finally and in the grace of God.  I often think about you growing  up and the things we used to do. Remember when we  took the Honda 90 back up in the hills behind Albertson's in the rain when it was wilderness and spooked a deer and a coyote. We were  soaking wet and covered with mud. Then I surprised you with that fat wheel. You remember the trip to Coyote Lake with John and UJ and the blast we had on the top of the world. What a camp site!  And I'll never forget your championship home run season. I was so proud of you and then on to the All stars.

These are just a couple  of thousands of memories I will share on another day!!!!

  Love you always, Dad                                                                                       

 

 

Dearest Bobby,

I look back and treasure all the times we talked on the phone and when you would stop by just for a chat.  I've gathered up all the precious memories and hold them in my heart.  The Lord took you in his arms and gave you peace and I know you have been reunited with your Gramps and Uncle Frank.

 

I love you dear Bobby more than words could ever say, so until we meet again, and we will, God Bless you always and loving you always Your Nana ........xoxo

I keep thinking about one of the last nights we had together.  We got to my brother's house and it was filled with those plastic balls and balloons! While I was at work you went and bought out the whole Target store! You bought Molly and Rori everything they needed to have a special Princess birthday party even though it wasn't their birthday, and when Molly told you it wasn't her birthday yet, you told her that we could celebrate everyday! And that is how I will always remember you. Everyday with you was a celebration of life, and if you taught me anything it was to do just that... celebrate every moment of every day. I love you everyday!

Bobby, I am laughing right now remembering that time we were "accidentally" brought to the nude beach. Your mom was so embarrassed  but we stayed anyways. Remember you thought it would be fun to throw sand balls at eachother, using the naked men as our shields? I can't remember how that ended, maybe we hit one of them and ran off... either that or we got caught! Anyways, I am thinking about you so much. You are definately living on in my cherished memories my dear cousin. Thank you for so many funny ones!

Im going to the casino later..., and was thinking about is the time you and I went when you came to visit me. You went from Griswald vegas vacation to making 2400 bucks on casino war with 5 bucks!! Haha, you are amazing. Was there nothing you could not do? I miss you buddy. Looking forward to seeing you again someday:) Love you always,

 

Your friend,

Monica :)

Bobby I really wanted to stand up and tell you and everyone how much I love you and how the memories we've shared will forever be in my heart but I could not find the words.  I came across this poem and wanted to share it

It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone.  For part of us went with you the day God called you home.  You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide.  And though we cannot see you,  we know you are always by our side.  Our family chain is broken and nothing seems the same.  But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again. 

Until we meet again my loving brother, I love you!

Hey Bobby. I was telling your mom about the time we started that fire in the sewer tunnel near your house. Remember the fire trucks came and we thought we were trapped and thought we would get caught. I don't remember how we got out of that one, but I remember runnning as fast as we could and hiding for a long time in some bushes near your house. How about the time we thought it would be a good idea to put nickels in your fish tank air pump. Remember the fire traveling along the cord to your outlet. I thought we were going to burn your house down! I have so many fond memories of you growing up. It seems everything we did ended up with us trying not to get caught. I always had so much fun with you. I can remember getting teased by my big brother and others, but you never ever teased me about anything. You were always so good to me, I wish I could have thanked you in person. Although we grew apart as we got older, you were always in my heart and in my thoughts. You have taught me to never let time go by again, and to always cherish and hold your loved ones close to you. I wish I had learned this lesson sooner, maybe I could have seen you one more time. I love you cous and I miss you so much. I know your smiling and laughing somewhere and I will see you again.

  Bobby, I wanted so bad to get up and speak about you at your service, but I could not even find the strength to do so.  I still cant believe your gone bro. The night I found out about your passing, I immediately wanted to turn back time and call you, one more time, and tell you how important you are and how much we love you.  I am truly blessed to have known you, as the brother I never had.  My life is now filled with so many memories of all the fun times we had together, like a slide show, that I have  been playing over and over in my head ever since I heard you were gone.  We used to fish, golf, snowboard, hike, paintball, play ping pong, ride dirt bikes, play cards, play on the same softball team, sing karaoke, laugh at the same funny movies, and play board games til all hours of the night, and the list goes on and on.    Bobby, the night before Conners last baseball game I told he and Cam what a great baseball player you were, and how you lead the league at one time, in homeruns.  I told Conner how special it would be if he had a great game that day, we would dedicate it to you.  He said,

"dad I'll hit a homerun for him".  That day, his first at bat, the first pitch, he hit a bomb over the center field fence.  We saved the ball and wrote Uncle Bobby on it.  I Know you were there bro. we all felt your presence that day.. 

Bobby, My boys are truly blessed to have known you, and they will continually be reminded of what a strong leader and kind hearted person you always were..

I love you buddy and I miss you so much.......Your bro

Hey Bobby I enjoyed walking along my parents river this am with you right beside me again. You and I were both hopping from rock to rock being careful not to fall in the water. The sound of the water rushing through the rocks was your voice in my ears. We were both smiling together and had no concerns in the world. That was the thing about you, my brother, your laugh and smile made me feel like nothing else mattered in the world beyond that moment of existence. That is one thing I will never forget about you. We have walked along that river together so many times before. I thought of all the snakes we have captured together, and all the lizards. I saw a bird on a tree, and I remember that first time you took me shooting behind your house in Newbury Park. I never stopped looking up to you, you know. I am me because of you. Your spirit will live with me forever, deep inside my soul. We will walk along many more rivers together and catch many more lizards as well. I can truly say there has never been a dull moment together. And I still don't accept you're gone, and I don't think I ever will. Some say that may be unhealthy, but I figure it's because I want to keep visualizing you beside me. I have always been able to make sense of things which beleague me if I wrote about them long enough, but I still cannot make sense of your death. Your dad says its God's plan. That helps him feel better and I am glad he found that belief. I am still confused and I cannot lie. I keep waiting for you to call with the punchline like it has been one of your practical jokes. Will you call? I'll keep waiting...
