  1. Oh how this breaks my heart. Wanda,Todd, Vikki, Rhonda and families, I am so sorry for your loss. Bob was a great man that I always had the utmost respect for. His love for Christ, his family, and his church, made such an impression on me. He will be greatly missed. I pray for the comfort of God to enfold each of you as you go through this part of the journey in your lives.

    With Love in Christ

  2. I worked with Bob at BP Texas City Tx. We both worked for Forrest Couch in the I&E group. Bob was one of the best people I ever worked with. He had a work ethic that amazed the whole group. He was a great sounding board for those who worked with him. It was always a pleasure to be around this smiling mild mannered man.
    Rest in peace Bob

  3. Dear Wanda and family, Jimmy, Dickey and Linda. So sorry about Robert A.
    When I saw the garden go I hoped it wasn’t because he was failing. We’ve watched that piece of land for so many years, we all miss it and now along with him.
    Please accept our sincere condolences.
    The whole Cotterell family.
