    I like James’ remembrance of Bob gliding down the “Grand Lawn” in Wisconsin barefoot in a silk sweater with a martini in one hand and a cigarette in the other. So much love.

    He was loved by many and a great friend to all. It is with great sorrow that I mourn his passing. May he rest in eternal peace.

    Dear Bob, there will never be anyone quite like you. How grateful I am to have shared so many grand moments with you and your beloved James. You were so eager to share your love of the arts and artists in as many ways possible. How truly reflective of your life goals that you established educational scholarships in others names. Tears streaming full of inspiration and regard for you, my dear
    precious friend. Love you! JD

    Oh, Bob, I’m going to miss your laughter. It filled any room blessed with your presence and most certainly my heart! My love to James and your family. Gone but not forgotten! Love, Artie

    Bobby was such a beautiful soul and a great friend to me in high school. I loved him dearly. A bright light has been dimmed on this stage. I hope they have a gold lame‘ Conrad Birdie jumpsuit for him in heaven.

    I was in the musical Mame in 1974 with Bobby. We laughed some much during rehearsals. Im surprise we remembered our lines. I havent talked to him in 47 years but I know it wouldn’t take 15 minutes to be right back where we were in 1974!!! Wonderful memories!❤ ❤

    Bob and I grew up together in the same neighborhood and went to school together through high school. What a fun guy! We used to ride horses together when we were in our teens. Fond memories I will always remember.

    Bobby was a friend from Kramer Elementary through Hillcrest High School. I enjoyed so much talking to him at class reunions about all things theatre. He was a dear, sweet soul and always remembered fondly.

    I had Mr. Olson as a drama teacher back in early 1990’s. I still remember his fun and contagious personality. He made me love drama. He will be missed.

"I highly recommend this funeral home and crematorium; when I had to make and pay for my brother’s arrangements across state lines, Evelyn Montonya, in particular, demonstrated both compassion and professionalism and made a very sad and difficult situation much easier. Many thanks."

"The unexpected passing of my husband was a very difficult and trying time for my boys and I. I had the good fortune of having Abel walk us thru this process. Working with him was such a weight off my shoulders. He was professional, so polite and helpful. The service was beautiful – never did I feel rushed or like just another customer. They gave me the time I needed and I appreciate that so much! Also Mr. Brooks took special care of my husband as he is a fellow mason. I would highly recommend working with Abel and North Dallas Funeral Home."

"Everyone at North Dallas Funeral Home was very professional, kind, and caring, in all steps of the process from the first phone call to the service held at their location. They help to make the process as easy and comforting in my opinion as to be expected, I would recommend their service to anyone. Thank You to everyone who helped me and my family. Sincerely,"

"As soon as the call was made to Mr. Wayne Baxter all of my brothers final needs were taken care of. They walked me through what to expect the timeline and even dealt with the cemetery and the grave diggers. I was a hot mess due to my brothers sudden and unexpected passing. The experience was seamless and made it easy for my brother’s friends and family to say their last goodbyes. They even had the size to accommodate such a large group that showed up . The package deals that they offered were cost-effective and didn’t break my bank account. They included extras and accommodations that other funeral homes charged extra for. All the staff was amazing including Mr. Don Dodd . I can not thank them enough for all their help."

Dear John,

It was such a nice pleasure to meet you, and what you had planned for my father just took my breath away. It was so special to hear you tell us how he would just come over to talk with you. I think it brought him much comfort. Thank you for putting that Air Force article of him on your website. I am going to have a replica made of the painting of his plane to give you.

Thank you again for all you have done to honor our dad.

Love, The Gillilands
