Famous Quotes from our brother Bob...

"It's our best ideas that got us where we are"
"You're my Hero"
"God made a deal, I don't understand it...but I'm taking that deal"!
INDIAN LAND, SC: Robert Earl “Bob” Blake - Perhaps it is most
unusual to not write out these things in third person, but then again, when did
Bob Blake ever do anything normal? If it’s okay with you, I would like to take
this opportunity to tell you a little about my dad. Bob Blake was the coolest
man I have ever known. He loved to ride tractors and motorcycles and he loved
to spend time on his farm. In fact, that is where he was when he died, on his
farm, surrounded by his family – he was 60 years old. Bob loved his family and
he loved the Lord. He also loved his wife beyond measure and had been known to
say, “I don’t know why she loves me so much, but I’m not going to talk her out
of it.” In his short years with us here, he showed so many of us how to love
better, how to be more generous, and how to cherish the important things in
life. This world is a much more beautiful place for having him in it.
~Courtney Blake
Bob was preceded in death by his father, Bill. He is survived by his wonderful wife and partner in mischief, Marla; his favorite daughter, Courtney; his mother, Charlotte; his brother, Rory; his sister, Scarlett; and, a host of other family and friends.
