We are so sorry to hear the passing of Bob. Always saw him at Summit Lanes. He will be missed. You are all in our Thoughts and Prayers
My deepest condolences on his loss. Bob helped teach me how to bowl when I was younger and remained an important family friend. He will be missed and I consider myself lucky to have known him.
The Hovermale Family,
Please accept my deepest sympathy for the loss of your father. He was one of my best friends.
I’ll always remember the good times that we spent together. Times at the Lake of the Ozarks boating and working on the cabin, the many years that we bowled together, and doing projects on vans and boats. I’m thankful for our time together and I will miss Bob greatly.
Sincerely,
Gene Bliley
