"My thoughts and prayers go out to my extended family. RIP cousin Bobby. "
"I had the good fortune to meet Robert when he accompanied Al Swertfager to my office for some repairs. Robert was very friendly and helpful. After meeting him, I was lucky to have him service my properties; he was always professional and saved me a lot of money by his recommendations. I provided Robert with wild hog and venison through the years and we became good friends. I shall miss him, his warm smile and professional manner. Rest in peace, my good friend. To the family I am so sorry for your loss; he was a good and decent man, something we are in short supply of in our country. My best to you. Blessings to you."
"We are definitely already missing Uncle Bob! He called every evening just to see what was going on in our lives. He would sometimes call three, four five times a day just to talk. Last week he called one night at bedtime and talked for one and a half hours about Al Capone?s car along with how Texas was going to beat OU! And anything else that crossed his mind. We both know beyond any doubt that Bobby loved and genuinely cared about me and my family. He was looking so forward to coming to our home to have a rematch in volleyball and hang out with our son and adopted kids. He was looking forward to collecting on the many bets we had made on sporting events. The bet was always a steak or a burger depending on how evenly matched the teams were. Rest In Peace my dear friend and uncle. Rick and Bettye Castillo"
"My memories of Uncle Bobby will always be of his big smile and fun spirit. I wish I could be there with you all to celebrate the life he lived, but I am sending my love and prayers for comfort. Mary "
