I was trying to find Bob… I thought he was somewhere in N.C., and I found this obituary instead. Bob was a very good friend, a man of good character and an open heart, and extraordinary artist. I am saddened to learn of his untimely death. I ‘think’ I h
And I were great friends, and when I got the message that he had passed. It was too late, because the Funeral was already over. And if I would have known about ahead of time. I would have been there, because of the LOVE & RESPECT, that I had for him.
To his Family Sorry For Your Loss..
The Last Time I Saw Him Was At The Doctor’s Office In Pinehurst, And I Called Him, Like We Did At The Member’s Club. I Said Hey Homes And We Hugged And Talked For About 20 Minutes. That Was In 2006, Because I just had surgery again..
I Really Miss Mr Robert (Bob) Shoemaker – Homes !!
