I loved being Bobs Neighbor in Madeira Beach. He often times reminded me of the military days and also of how important family was. He often spoke of his children and how he wished he could have been closer to them. God Bless you Bob and may you rest in peace.

Melody and Martin, I am sorry for your loss, but I am sure your father was very proud of you and loved you very much.
good thoughts to you.
We are sorry to hear about your loss! If there is anything we can do please let us know! You guys are in our prayers!
A truly sad ending…very sorry for your loss.
sorry for your loss, Martin and Mel.
I want to extend my sincere sympathy to Bobby’s family. I hadn’t seen him in a number of years, but first met him in 1965. He was friend to my brother, Carl Busse, my sister JoAnn Furman. We all lived in Sunflower in the 60’s. He was a lot of fun! We all send our sympathy.
So sorry for your loss Mel & family.
Very sorry for your loss Martin and Mel, I always liked “Bobby D”.
Terry, I’m sorry to learn of the loss of your brother. I never met him however if he was like you he was a heck of a guy. FYI – I maintain the Eudora Cemetery directory. Bobby will be listed as a Veteran on the directory and will have a flag placed by his grave on Memorial Day.
Your Friend, Tom Tucker
So sorry to learn of Bobby’s passing and want to extend my sympathies to all the Dunavin families. I have many fond memories of when we all ran around together whether partying, being at the lake or just getting together to visit and have fun. I always think of cheeseburgers when I think of Bobby. Those were really fun filled days!
As a dog trainer, I would not rcmoemend the use of choke chain on a small and frightened shiba like yours. And by the way, if you tend to hold the lash on its left like in the first photos, the choke chain is incorrectly wore.
