Oh no! My heart is so sad to see this. I’m so glad I was able to stop and visit with him each morning through the years. He always had a huge smile, a nice compliment and a positive word as we parted!
I’m blessed to have been able to visit with him the last time he was there eating breakfast.
God bless , love , and prayers to his sweet wife and family.

Dee, Rob and Deb,
So sorry to here this news. I enjoyed working with Bob while in Helena and in Richland County. It was a time when legislators would talk things out and compromise, sorry to have lost that. I will always remember the lessons I learned from Bob and others we worked with. These memories will live with me for a long time. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. Don and Kathy

I wrote Bob’s insurance when he had Paraffin Services and he was a great man to work with. The Gilbert family is a great family and I’m sorry for your loss.

It was an honor to see Bob every day at the Capitol in Helena. I sat down every day that I could and visited Bob. I gifted Bob with a special bolo tie of my late Uncle Al “Hoot” Minugh of Dodson, MT. Rest in peace Bob, my condolences to the family.

Dee, I so enjoyed seeing you and Bob every morning on my way to the House Chamber. I could always count on a smile and a friendly HELLO. Bob testified in a couple of my committees, and he was well spoken and informed. He will be missed by all who had a chance to cross paths with him. Please take care of yourself. My best hopes and prayers for you and your family.

Dee, my prayers are with you and your family in this hour of need. I was saddened to hear of Bob's passing and am so thankful that we (Bob, you, and I) got to spend yet another session at the Legislature this year. Bob has been a great friend from the time I first met him when he served as a legislator. We have shared many great conversations together and I will miss his wise guidance.

Bob was a bright and talented legislator. He had two quotes on the floor of the house I will always remember—only one I will share. He said “Montana is like a big cow. The mouth is over eastern Montana eating up all the nutrients….and the utters are over Helena dispensing all the milk.” Pretty good. May you RIP Bob!

Dee and family. Sorry to hear of Bob's passing. We had lots of good times with you and him. Good times flying, and sailing on Fort Peck lake and fun times at the cabins. God Speed, Bob.

It was a true and great honor and pleasure to get to know Bob and his wife in the Hallways of the Capitol. We had some good talks, some great laughs, and he encouraged me along the way at the Session in Helena. It was a joy to sit with him and Dee at times just "chewing the fat". I recall our visit at WalMart with my wife and him and Dee and it was fun and good cheer. God rest his soul and may all the great memories of him be like salve to heal the broken heart of the loss of a great man. Thank you Bob for your kindness and time you spent with me. You and Dee are one of my best memories in Helena in 2023.
