I am so sorry to hear of Bob’s passing. He was my insurance agent since 1980, and I stayed with Bob though I moved from the Clear Lake area many years ago. I felt valued by Bob, and always felt he was genuine.
God bless and keep all of you.

THE BUTLERS
May I offer my most heartfelt condolences on the passing of Bob. He was my State Farm Agent since around 1980. He always was a genuine person and made all his clientele feel like that mattered. I know he will be missed greatly by you and your children and grandchildren. I will miss him as my agent. May God wrap his arms around you and help you move forward.
I got the sad news in the mail today and express my condolences to the family. My family has been his client since 1981 when we moved to Houston from UK. To use a common quote in UK… he was an officer and a gentleman.
Bob, please RIP
