I have considered Bobby a good friend for many years. Regardless of how long we went without visiting each other our visits always began as though it were only the day before. Bobby you will be truly missed but I cherish our memories. I send up prays that God will comfort family and friends during this time of sadness. God Bless and Love you all. Keith “Cotton” Gladish
I considered Bob family because he was so important to my grandson Caden Schwede. He was a wonderful man and meant so much to so many people. He will be greatly missed by so many. Im so thankful for all he did for Caden. Caden will be lost without him. Prayers and love for all the Schwede family.
We looked forward to seeing Bobby riding around in his truck he never failed to wave to us he was always there to help when we called him
We will miss praying for his family
Sorry for your loss
