Memories Timeline

Guestbook

  1. My sincere sympathy to the family of Robert Miller.🙏🙏

  2. Wow,  Bob. I thought you were going to live forever.  I remember a few things from my child hood about Bob. I will never forget the energy in the room when Dale Earnhardt was killed.  Bob was the biggest Earnhardt fan I’ve ever met.  I also remember how hard of a worker he was when he did vehicle repair for the guy kiddie corner to pump n pak. Bob taught me what a dent puller was.  Why I remember that I’ll never know, but I was amazed at the fact you had to drill holes in the car to fix a dent.  I didn’t understand bondo etc but he showed me and I’ll never forget it. It’s been years since I visited with Bob but he will still be missed. My heart hurts for Robert Jeremy and Terrie. Y’all were a riot to grow up with.  I love you guys and I’m going to do my best to make it to the celebration of life. 😢.
