One of the best and strongest Veteran supporters I ever knew. Bob never met a veteran he couldn’t support. Thank you Bob from the bottom of my heart, you WILL be missed my friend. Play Thru Brother.
Melody Skinner says
Bob was the kindest man I have ever met. He was a gift from God to us and he provided us with a beautiful road map to honor him by continuing his quest for him. There is a hole in my heart, but I am comforted by knowing Bob is with the angels now as I was always pretty sure he was one. Say hi to my dad, brother, sister and aunts and uncles please. Thanks for watching over us. Until we meet again . . . we will continue to honor your quest and your memory.

Thank you Bob for all the support and time you have spent with our Veterans in Montana. We worked together in Helena and stayed in touch when I moved to Wyoming. You will be missed.

Montana has lost a champion for Veterans. Bob was one of the first VHA employees that I worked with who helped me. He was great influence and a force for positive change. Just by being himself, doing the work he did, and always finding ways to make a positive impact, he made Montana a better place for Veterans. Bob was my go to for most things related to my job, he built the Montana Peer Support Specialists team up. Bob was always there when I needed him. I miss you already! I hope you’re teaching God how to play golf, and I am certain that you’re playing all day, ever day. As that would be your paradise.
Rest easy, I will remember you for the rest of my days.

Our Hearts are broken hearing of this new. When my veteran partner was having an issue with Alcohol abuse and nobody would help us on the outside, Bob was the one who took my call and paved the way for my veteran to receive treatment. He truly cared about veterans with addictions and was very helpful in getting us set up so that my Veteran could go to RTP in Helena. We had just moved to MT too and did not know anyone in the system. RIP… you touched so many people with your caring heart….
Shannon Noble says
It was a pleasure getting to know you at the Veteran Support Network’s annual Heroes at Home BBQ & VSAP. You were truly a HERO helping HEROES. RIP, Bob <3

Bob always did what he could for others. We in Arkansas suffered a loss when Bob moved to Montana, but we knew he would do whatever was necessary to look after his son, Ben. Drive it down the middle of those clouds, my friend.
KEVIN FLANAGAN says
Bob is teeing off for 18 holes in Augusta right now! Bob was my neighbor, and we shared many interesting conversations across our shared fence. No more picking up errant chip shots in my yard! Godspeed Bob.
Charlie Matthies says
Bob, I will miss our golf conversations and your golf tips. It was always a pleasure talking to you. I will miss you my friend.
Kalli says
Our hearts are so saddened with the loss of Bob, he was a great man with such an impact in so many lives. Of all of the things my Veteran is utilizing to walk through his PTSD, his time in Bob’s group was the most helpful and most impactful. He not only helped my Veteran and many, many others, but he helped me too. He will be so greatly missed.
Stephanie W. says
Heaven has gained a beautiful soul-one who dedicated their life to caring for our Veterans. Your kindness, strength, and compassion will never be forgotten. I miss you my friend, and my thoughts and prayers are with your family during this difficult time.
