I'm one of Grampa Bob's step-granddaughters, my Mother was his step-daughter Sharon. My heart goes out to his family. I sincerely pray for them now in their time of grief. His loss is devastating to me, I can only imagine how painful it must be for everyone else. He was a truly incredible man & a wonderful Grandfather. I can only imagine what a great Dad he must have been. He was the only Grandfather I ever knew. It wasn't until I was in my teens that I realized I was his step-grandchild. He never ever made myself, my sister or my brother feel like we were step-grandchildren. He loved us as if we were his own for which I am eternally grateful. He was my hero when I was a little girl. He made a big difference in my life. I have lived my life hoping he would be proud of me. Some of my most cherished memories from my childhood are thanks to him. I was fortunate enough to spend time with him & my Grandmother Mary as a child, while he was still racing quarter horses, it was the most wonderful time of my life. One thing I know, there have to be horses in heaven, because it won't be heaven at all to Grampa without them. I am going to miss you so very much Grampa. God Bless You, forever & ever. Please give Mama & Grandma a kiss from me. I will always, always love you.
