    I have to say that Bob was one of the finest men that I've met during my entire life. He was a man of honor, respect, ethics and kindness (he always made us laugh and smile). Bob most of all was a guiding light to others in his faith in God. He was like a father to me throughout my life. Our family and friends all love the Hickles and he is and was a truly inspirational man. I (we) will truly miss him and our prayers will always be with the family... especially Tilly. God bless them all. God bless you Bob and thank you for being a blessing to all that met and knew you. I surely am a better man for knowing you.
