Bob was an amazing person who lived life to the fullest with his beautiful wife Bonnie by his side, he performed his ventriloquist routine with his puppets at my second wedding 💒 in Pueblo West and the children enjoyed his show. He was always a generous and giving person sharing the joys and light of Christ with everyone he encountered. I know that he is with the angels in Heaven with Jesus Christ

My condolences goes out to Bonnie and Family, Bob was such a good friend to me for so many years, as I was loyal to his great Tax prep work as we all were. His hello and greeting smile always made my day. He will be missed by so many.

My name is Karla Richardson-Trujillo. My father, James “Jimmy” Richardson and Bob where friends at Rye High School and I know they kept in touch from time to time over the years. He was always so excited to see Bob and spoke very highly of him. Unfortunately, my father also passed recently on the morning of November 6, 2022. I imagine that they have been reunited and are reminiscing about the good old days in Rye. Sending my blessings and deepest condolences to the family. ~Karla
