Bob

My brother-in-law Bob died on Tuesday.I will miss him. Just like his name, Bob was uncomplicated. If he had on a plaid pair of pants and a striped shirt, that was just fine. They are clothes. If his belt was undone, so be it. Some of his favorite songs were, "The Bird Is The Word" (uncomplicated lyrics), "I would Walk 500 Miles" and "Do It Anyway", by Martina McBride. The words are here:


You CAN spend your whole life buildin'
Something from nothin
One storm can come and blow it all away
Build it anyway

You CAN chase a dream
That seems so out of reach
And you know it might not ever come your way
Dream it anyway

God is great but sometimes life aint good
And when I pray
It doesn't always turn out like I think it should
But I do it anyway
I do it anyway

This worlds gone crazy
And it's hard to believe
That tomorrow will be better than today
Believe it anyway

You can love someone with all YOUR heart
For all the right reasons
And in a moment they can choose to walk away
love em anyway

God is great but sometimes life aint good
And when I pray
It doesn't always turn out like I think it should
But I do it anyway
Yeah I do it anyway, YEAH,

You can pour your soul out singin'
A song you believe in
That tomorrow they'll forget you ever sang
Sing it anyway
Yeah sing it anyway, YEAH, YEAH

I sing
I dream
I love anyway, yeah.

He was a suppportive brother-in-law. When my husband, his youngest brother would tease me about something, I would say, "I'm calling Bob." I knew he would be on my side.

Bob loved to play golf,fish, watch TV sports and teach Sunday School. Everybody liked Bob, yes everybody.

See ya, Bob.
