Dear Papa Bob, Thank you for being a shining light of Christ’s love and joy. You always made me feel real special and accepted into your Jimenez ohana. Please play a special jam up there with Jesus for me. I’ll be listening. Jeremone
Papa Bob was a great guitar player. I always loved it when he would play at my birthday parties. I’ll miss you Papa, Sawyer
Papa Bob was always kind to me. I also loved his great guitar music at parties, which is nice. Aloha Papa Bob, Kingston
Dear Dad, What a joy it is to gather with your great big family and all your friends. I’m learning new stories about you! You walked with so many in this life and are truly remembered for your kindness. Even in death you warm our hearts and make us smile. You inspire us all Papa! Love Jacki, your “Go-Getter”
Papa Bob, You always had a way of making me feel better about things. I appreciated your perspectives on life. You didn’t have all the answers but you always listened and offered advice. I wouldn’t be the person I am today without your words of wisdom and fun-loving spirit. The song, “Stand by me” reminds me of you. We danced to it at my wedding and I always knew you were in my corner.. I am so lucky to call you my Pappy forever… Love, Lil Valley
