I am full of sorrow over Bob's passing, however, I praise God that he is in His love and care. Bob is a man of great integrity, full of love for his family, and humble beyond measure. What an honor it has been, and continues to be, for me to serve the Moore family. I have been blessed to have been in the presence of Bob and his brother JT. They have influenced my life by the way they walked theirs. May God shed his grace and comfort upon all of Bob's family and friends.

All the demons that chased you these last 50 years are gone now. We still sit in our PTSD group at the VA. Every Veteran that goes throughteaches me something. I use what I learned from you to guide other vets. Glad we made the Permian Basin Honor Flight together.

Gretchen and family,We were so sorry to hear to Uncle Bob’s passing. The slide show tribute was so wonderful, seeing all the pictures of him with the family through the years. It made us smile. Thank you for sharing it. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. Blessings,Ed and Jennifer O’Donnell

I'm so sorry for your loss. The ceremony today was beautiful -- Bob has left an amazing legacy behind him in the impact he has had on others, and in the beautiful family he created and fostered. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Love you all.

I hold Bob Moore in the highest praise of my life. He was a man of the most integrity, friend and confidant that would bless your life. He would tell you what he thought no matter what the circumstances where. He was a man that could brighten up your day with his beautiful smile. He would give you the shirt off his back. He would stand beside you in pain an misery sharing his love for all of mankind. He made a difference in your your life. He was a great friend, coworker and a loving man. I was blessed to know him in this life. He touched many people on this earth. Do not feel sad that he is gone but praise him for all the good he did on earth. Now it’s his turn to enjoy the fruit of his life to have everlasting life with the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Gretchen; You know how much Bob meant to everybody he touched with his presents. only you can continue with him in your spirit that he left for you. Remember he trusted you with all had, which is with all of us. I love you so much, now forever and always. Andrea Howard.

I am deeply sorrowed by Bob's passing and wish all the comfort and support to his surviving family members! He and all family will forever be in our thoughts and prayers!!!

Bobby was a classmate and teammate of mine on our high school football team. We Nicknamed him shoestrings because that’s where he tackled you right at the shoestrings...and he never missed. I’ll always remember Bob as probably the toughest “pound for pound “football player to ever graduated from Belpre High School. He apparently was just as tough on the battlefield in Vietnam, no surprise here. My prayers go out to Gretchen and family! ????????????????????????

Bob was truly a dedicated family man, he loved being with them and doing things for them. He was always willing to lend a hand when needed. He will be missed by all who knew him. You couldn’t ask for better brother-in-law.

Bob was a member of our graduating class. He was kind, nice and good to everyone. My prayers go out to his wife, childrenNd grandchildren. And prayers sent for all of his family. Rest In Peace my old friend and may God be with your wonderful family.

My prayers are with you all. I have not seen Uncle Bob in so long but he has a very special place in my heart. He was wonderful, funny & loving man. He was a big part of my teen years and I am blessed to have known him. He loved you Gretchen soo very much.

I was so sad to see Bobs death on facebook. My husband Ed Bell and myself Marilyn Bell counted him as one of our best friends. We loved his jokes and wonderful outlook on life in spite of all he had been through. He worked with my husband in Coulter Electronics for several years. Ed passed on several years ago and I will miss Bob so much. I am so sorry for your loss Gretchen.

Gretchen,I remember when Bob first started courting you. He was so funny, smart, and sweet that he won you over. I had never seen you happier and loved him so much for making you and Amy so happy through the years. You know that I am thinking of you all every day, sending you love and prays, and always here if you need me!

I am so sorry Gretchen. It breaks my heart to know that Bob is gone. Praying for you and your family.

We are praying for you guys!

I met Bob in 1978 when he took me under his wing and trained me on my first job after electronics school. Bob and I shared a territory for two years and became good friends. We had many happy times together and I will always cherish his friendship. My thoughts and prayers for your family as I know you will be dearly missed.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Love you all so much. Bob was the sweetest brother in law anyone could ever have! Loved him so much.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
