Hotshot Bob, we all miss you so much and you will never understand how much you are still loved!
I have known Bob for 15 years. I would like to remember him by saying.
” cheerful in all weather, never shirked a task, splendid behavior”.
I have never met the man, but my colleagues here at P1 have the best words to describe him. He will be missed and my condolences to his family and friends.
I worked with Bob for 19 years and we became good friends.
I always called him “Smiley”
He will be missed terribly.
Condolences to his family and friends, of which I know he had Many!
Bob’s passing has been such sad news. I have lived next door to him for 19 years and I couldn’t have asked for a better Neighbor. He was not only alway willing to help with things around the house but also a great source of knowledge and wisdom and provided much insight to many things in life. We drank many beers and his presence at gatherings had turned into many lasting friendship of people that will truly miss Bob. It wasn’t just the people in the neighborhood that will miss Bob but he friended stray cats, squirrels, bunny rabbits and neighborhood dogs. Truly a gentle soul. I hope to see other Tuesday at the visitation so that we can Celibrate the life hard working, great neighbor and the good friendship of Bob Surles.
Bob was always happy, welcoming and helpful. He will be truly missed. My sincere sympathies to all who are affected by his passing.
Bob always seemed to be in a good mood and was a fun guy to be around. All the guys in the shop will truly miss him and our condolences to his family and friends.
I am terribly sad to hear of Bob’s passing. I had the privilege of knowing him for 19 years through P1 Group. My favorite memory of Bob was when we adopted a family to provide for at Christmas and he walked into the office with loads of gifts, one for each member of the family. He was thoughtful, kind and I don’t recall ever seeing him without a smile on his face. He will be missed.
A gentle soul describes Bob well. May you Rest In Peace.
Bob was often A Guest at my son David’s gatherings and Holiday dinners. Bob was part of the celebrations. He will be missed by many of us. He was one of the best human beings. May he Rest In Peace,????

Bob was such a swell guy. Always happy, always willing to lend a hand. Was his life better than ours or did he choose to see it differently than the rest of us? He never seemed to have a bad day. Heaven will be ready to welcome him with open arms. There must be something to be said for Only the Good Die Young.
He was the most cheerful and grateful person I know. When your around him he would turn your days into a delight with his humor and positive personality! Make God bless you and may you Rest In Peace!
I’m so sorry for your family’s loss. I hope you find comfort in knowing that your loved one is safe in the memory of God, who will remember every detail about him & bring him back again. Acts 24:15 You have my condolences.
Scott,
Bob always seemed to be in a pleasant mood. Sure enjoyed a short conversation with Bob, before he was on his way. A talk with Bob seemed to leave with a smile on your face. Peace be with you Bob.
I’m so sorry for your loss. Bob was a truly great person and always kind. He always made people around him happy and was a really great friend. And he was a great baker, he was always bringing treats into my job and we kids loved it. May he rest in Peace.
