Rest in peace Bob. You fought a long battle. I will miss our monthly conversations on the phone. You’ve been a wonderful brother inlaw. Love you and will miss you very much. Say hi for me to all the family that have passed before.
Ervin Azure says
Already miss you bro, but I know its where u want to be. Your struggle is over and your finally at peace with your Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. I know we had lots to do yet and many more summers of camping and fishing. But I guess you and God had different plans. God knows best and he wanted you home. Thank you Bob for all the good memories we shared. I will think about u everyday and cherish everyone of them. You was the best bro I could ever ask for. Tell everyone hi for me Bob. Until we meet again bro! Lov your bro Ervin!

I knew Bob as my neighbor at Hillview Apartments when I went to High School at Havre High. His kids are actually related to me through their mother Julie. I became friends with both Robert and Kaycee. Bob was always funny and laughing. I really liked being around him. He could always get me to laugh. One time me and Robert had gone fishing and caught a big fish, a Northern Pike. Bob and Robert helped fry it up chicken-fried Northern Pike. It actually tasted like chicken. I thought the world of Bob and he was one of very few Native American Men I could look up to as a role model. My family and I will miss him.
