Prayers for his family...Bob was one the nicest people out there in the jet community! Always had a smile for ya'.....will be missed by everyone who met him....

wow, sad indeed, Godspeed Bob O

Sorry to hear this :(

Sorry to see you go, Bob... :( Thanks for all of your help and friendship over the last 20 years.
Bob was one of the first few jet people (ducted fans) I met when moving to TX in 1998 - at the Austin Jet Fly.

Which, some times, liked biting other airplanes...

We lost a true statesman for the hobby. Bob and the rest of the Austin took me into their fold many years ago. It is truly an honor to call him my friend. I will miss him.

Blast! Like Ron, Bob was one of the very first people I met at my very first jet event - Austin 1998.
Seeing him was always a joy - he will be missed!

Sad indeed.
Met him once in Austin, a really nice jet guy.

We'll all miss Bob O, prayers are with the family.

God speed Bob-O. Until we meet again.

Very sad news!

Godspeed Bob-O, you will be missed...

Bob-O was the best person ever!! He will be greatly missed!

Great old timer.

This is very sad news. You will be missed Bob

He always asked about my family when I saw him at events, such a genuine person! He will be missed

World lost a great guy, my wife and I sure loved BOB-O and will definately miss him,,,

Going to miss him he was always full of energy and great humor acting like a teenager in a wrong body, RIP buddy.

Bob-O was well traveled. The first time we met I told him where I lived not thinking he would know where it was. Turned out back in the day he had a girlfriend about four miles from my house LOL.

The jet community has lost another great guy......God speed, Bob.

Bob O will be missed, he made an impact on RC community

So sad. Such a great guy. Godspeed Bob.

BobO's daughter ask me to share this


Julie here
We wanted to update on Bob’s wishes. He wanted a small family gathering. He did not want a traditional Memorial Service or a big to do.

His jet family was a huge part of his life and we wanted to celebrate his life with you all.

We will be scattering his ashes at the Greater Southwest Jet Rally in Waco in September, details will follow, we had discussed this with him in the past, he will love this!

In his honor, we are going to create a video and will share with everyone and will run at the airfield on a loop.

We are capturing the stories and pictures already posted. We have set up an email account

Bobomemories2022@gmail


We would appreciate any photos, Bob-0 stories or memories. Please share this email to those that might not be on Facebook. Our family will be sharing pictures and Bobisms as well.

We thank everyone for the outpouring of love and support. He would be so honored at how many lives he touched.

We were blessed to call him Dad, Grandfather and Great Grandfather. Our lives are better because of him.

I will share, Dad loved the canned whole cranberries at Christmas and made sure I served it, his only request of the whole meal! Dad, those danged cranberries will be at your spot at the table.

I have his phone, please feel free to call if you need to.

Great guy always willing to help or lend a hand. God Bless Bob-O
