Robert Anton Herzog

Bobby... Thanks for all the fun and laughs over the years. You and Billy and Dave and I sure had some good times. Houston, Ninfa's, Cozumel... nice memories... I'll think of you often.

Who could ever forget the many laughs shared with Bobby? The unforgettable laugh, stories told, memories made. Bobby was one of a kind! Be sure and look up Phyllis Diller when you get to where you're going! She will be sure and share a laugh or two with you now!

(Bobby)
My big brother, friend, fashion, hair & makeup consultant. Bobby was my morning club, we would talk about everyone and everything but just in fun of course. Your time on earth with us has come to a bitter and sweet ending. I will greatly miss you. I thank you for your sincere honesty and some times brutal honesty, Bobby had a knack for telling us either we look like crap or we look smashing. Bobby will always be remembered for his joyous laughter, he could make you laugh until tears would roll down your eyes and those tears were of pure joy and of course it was the silliest of things that he would have you rolling about.. Growing up with Bobby and our accomplice sister Connie was quite fun you would not know from day to day what you would awake to, for instance Bobby, Carolynn, Daryl & Sheila decided that Connie was going to be their car and fed her gas in which they told her it was orange juice, to make her go fast, so that’s just one of Bobby’s silly pastimes. I will share one more that is dear to his nieces and nephews, Uncle Bobby was staying with us for a couple of days, went upstairs to take a shower then came down and said wow I love that shampoo it made my hair really soft and smells great, it smells like baby powder not knowing that we had just got a new puppy and the kids had bathe him upstairs leaving the puppy shampoo on the tub and wow we laughed for days. I know in my heart you were truly happy on this earth and also happy leaving us to be with Daddy, Mamma, Connie and Brittany. I will always love you and remember that contagious smile. Your loving little sister, Denise

My dear cuz, your smile and laugh were very much contagious. I learned early on from you by a conversation MANY years ago with you, Sheila & Connie, that the best and honest friend one can have is one of the opposite sex. I still live by that, and thank you for giving me the laughs.
LOL remembering all the clothes you made for Denise's barbie's and hair do's you gave them. These are the things I will keep in my memory and heart.
God Bless and say hello to everyone!
You little cuz, "kay-kay"

Uncle Bobby,
I am excited to inform you that "that boy" finally proposed to me! I know that every time you would call mom and talk to her that would be your first question about me and how im doing. I am sad that we will not get to see you physically at my wedding but I know that you, Granny, Pawpaw, and Bip will all be there spiritually watching me that day as I walk down the aisle. Thank you for all the memories of the lunch and dinner dates which we shared with you, you were amazing. We love and will greatly miss you but please take care of my sister while you are watching over us down here.

Robert. We all miss you so much. My girls miss watching soaps with you and that weird "Wendy." They remember sneaking food into the cinema when you took them to see Avatar. Sydney, "your little angel", sends thought flowers to you since we can't be there and wants you to hug her Grandpa when you see him. I've been blessed by our friendship and was proud to see you through til the end. You were a brother and friend to me and took good care of my girls. I know you were so tired this past year, but you never let that take away your spirit or sense of humor. We will always love you. Til we meet again...

Uncle Bobby,
The times that we had together were so much fun. We all remember that time you came over to are house and we had just got a new puppy and left the dog shampoo upstairs and you washed your hair with it. You ask us what kind of shampoo it was and said it made your hair feel so soft. After that day you had us joking for months over that. Colton even remembers that day and laughs about it. You will be missed greatly by your whole family!

Bobby...my funny and dear brother.....our family will never be the same without you! As a family we all loved you and you always brought humor to our gatherings. Oh! we had some good times growing up that we will never forget. Thanks for all the times you had us come over for swimming parties and the wonderful restaurant dates!(especially Patrenella's) You loved us to come there and we loved going to meet you, you always had a big smile for us. We will always remember the good times and I am going to miss you terribly. Take care of our family up there and give them a hug for me. I love you lots.... til we meet again.
Your big sister....Carollynn

Bobby
I am going to miss you with all my heart..you are and always will be one of a kind and I will always love you...Albert Lee is probably sleeping in your lap as i type this. Say hello to everybody for me..My mom is going to miss her weekly phone calls and the stories about Galveston...Your gone but we will never forget you. You will always be part of my family
Love you...miss you
Frank

Bobby,

I sit here tonight and think of the first time I ever met you. Me and Denise have been together awhile and told me a lot about your personality and sense of humor.

Was I in for a understated surprise,I did not know what to think at first. The Herzogs as a family are a little intimidating at first any way, to say the least.

You had my attention from the beginning,you have always had a gift for communication and bringing the best out of people. Even if someone was in a bad mood they weren't for long!

God gave you a amazing gift and that was to make people laugh.you had a cunning way of reading peoples spirit,Even if they were in a bad mood you could always cheer us up and find conversations not even Oprah could think of!!!

I remember the time early in my relationship with Denise that you wanted to take me out for some drinks and talk about life,just you and I,Not inviting Denise or anyone. She did not think I would go. It was one of the best talks and time I can ever remember talking with a true fellow human-being. You were always brutally honest and could take life head on with a smile. Even to the end on earth it seems.

Thanks for the memories with my kids and wife ,for we will never forget you.

You can rest now in peace and joke and laugh with Connie,Louise Britt and Robert,Love you guys and we will meet again. Love from all of us and God has blessed you.

Goodbye to my best friend, I am so happy to have the time with you before your sudden passing. I like so many others will never forget your laugh, the way you made everyone laugh. My entire family and I will miss you dearly, and we will keep you in our hearts and memories forever. Love, Billy

Bob,
I remember you and your laughter and you telling funny stories. I heard from Frank that he got to see you at Christmas when he went home. I am so glad that you had that time together. You will be missed. You now have your family gathered around you to comfort you. May you truly rest in peace.

Bob,
I would like to take this opportunity to say how our family felt honored to know Bob and his wonderful mother. We had good times at all our family events and had a wonderful time visiting them in Texas, especially in Galveston. God Bless. Will be missed.

Love,
Mr & Mrs Yunc
(As Bob would always call us
because of the fact he was
so polite.)

Bob,
We will never forget all the good times at family events, especially the family reunion when you & your mother came up from Texas. We will miss your laugh & the way you made people laugh. Whenever we would come to visit him he was always so polite, he made us feel like we were at home. Always had breakfast waiting. He will truly be missed.

Love Always,
Tom, Kelli, Thomas, Jess, Kate, & Jack

Bobby,
My family and I will miss you so much! You had one of the biggest hearts of anybody I have ever met...I will miss your smile, and the way you could light up a room with your laughter..God Bless You, Bobby....

Bobby was one of the kindest men I've ever known. I first met him here in Cleveland on my birthday downtown with my brother Frank. We all went out and celebrated and had a great time...maybe too great as I don't think any of us felt so good the next day. I can remember the day that my mom, aunt sister and I went down to Houston for a visit. We went to Galveston and toured a home down there. Bobby was horrified that there was someone in our group taking pictures inside this very old home and they were not supposed to be doing so. He had me laughing so hard!! I will miss his laugh and smile and of course those great breakfast potatoes that he made for us. I never could get them to taste like his. Bobby you will be missed by all who knew and loved you. I know that our family loved you very much!

Bobby,

Bobby, It was such a great pleasure getting to know you. You were such a dynamic person with the biggest heart of anyone I have ever known. I will never forget all of your wild and crazy stories, not to mention the fantastic travels and times we all had together. I will miss your amazing ability to make anyone laugh in any situation. Your humor and personality will live on with me and I will never forget you. Thank you for entering my life for the brief time that we shared together.

Bob,
To a special man who will be deeply missed. He touched so many lives with his kindness and sense of humor. He was a special part of our family and we will cherish those memories always.

Love,
Jim, Pam, Brittany, and Jimmy

Bobby,
you know i'm not one to write about anyone so i'll keep it simple. When I was a kid, I remember you and Connie would
sneak out of the house to go party with friends. You would stuff the bed to make it look like you were sleeping. Mom and Pop would come in to check on you in which you appeared to be sleeping but little did they know you had already left with "Skinny" Derrol. When you finally decided to come home, you would tap on my window so I'd open it and haul your butt inside. Somehow, you always managed to get away with it too!
I will never forget "BIG BOY". Your prize winning bull. Every show you took him to, you walked away with "GRAND CHAMPION". We would laugh everytime he picked up the front of the old "Putt" truck or head-butt it like he was in a fight.
After Connie died, you would call me at 6:00 every morning
on the dot. I have really missed talking to you like that.
Even though I never said it much, I will miss you and I have always loved you as my big brother. Say Howdy to Mom, Pop, Connie and Tooty Fruity for me....Love Nickie.

well there ya go!!!! sure going to miss you big boy...you always had a flair about you, free spirited, tell it like it is attitude, and general funny as hell. always had a great time when i was around you, ya always had things going on. do crazy things at a drop of a hat. hug everyone up there for us and watchout for us from up there. well! until we meet again.......luv ya man...

Farewell to the one of the craziest and most irreverent persons I ever knew. While many of the rest of us are constantly stressing over the many complications in life, Bobby could find the fun and joy in just about any situation. Of course he could also coax you along into trouble if you weren’t careful. Like the time he, my brother Chris, Connie and I all decided we had more interesting things to do than attend Wednesday night CCD classes at St. Mary’s church in Plantersville. Although the details are a little fuzzy, I believe that Bobby was the ringleader of us outlaws that night. As we gathered in the parking lot to plan an updated agenda for the evening it was Connie and I who were apprehended and strongly encouraged to return to class while Bobby and Chris escaped for the evening.

As carefree and fun loving as he was, Bobby was also a very companionate man and he cared deeply for his family and loved ones. During the last few years of her life both Connie and I spent many hours on the phone with Bobby discussing her deteriorating health and his wish for her to recover. Those conversations gave me great comfort and I will always appreciate his love and concern for his sister.

Bobby, please give Connie my love and do not entice her into any of your usual shenanigans. I’ll miss you greatly both for the person that you were and the kindred spirit to Connie that you represented to me.

Bobby, I remember your childhood. You were a happy child. I know that your mother and father are with you, and also, my mother, your Aunt Mildred. It is so nice and wonderful to have you come home. We will never forget you.

I can remember playing with Bobby and his siblings as a child. They were all part of my childhood. His mother was a wonderful cousin and certainly raised a great son. Bobby, you are in my thoughts.

The last time I saw Bobby was at Connie's funeral. Even under the circumstances, he was as friendly as ever to myself and my mother (Mildred Smikal Leibham Brannon.) My mother was like a second mom to his mother, Louise. Carollyn, Bobby, Connie, and I often played together as children in Dobbin. Bobby, you will be missed. God bless you. Tell my mom and dad how much I miss them. (I didn't hear of your passing until the day after the funeral. I wish I could have been there to pay my respects to you.)

I just happened upon this obituary of Bobby. I knew him when I was living in Cleveland at that time in the early 90's if my memory serves me. I was googling to see if he was still in Cleveland as I have returned after 30 years absence living New York, Phoenix, and Tampa. I am so saddened to come across this. He was probably one of the most lovable, kind, men. It was authentic too. When he was spending time with you he lived in that moment as if you were the only person around. He was so proud of the Red Angus steer that he and family had in Houston TX.i would tease him that I wanted the horns to mount on a convertible caddy, with a big horn. He would laugh and tell me I deserved only the best. We only went out a half a dozen times until I moved. I always had a secret crush on him as he was a true gentleman and the type you imagine spending your life together. I don't believe I ever saw him where he didn't have a big smile and warm heart for all he would meet. I was a little wild and outspoken back then, and he liked my antics and would laugh at my absurdity. I have learned alot about the world and myself, that now I have become the type of gentleman that now he might find he could actually present to parents and be proud of. No matter how ever I was though he would let me be me and found my candor refreshing and witty. He always made anyone around him feel comfortable and would stick up for any underdog. Bobby had conviction and did what was right no matter what. If it is possible for heaven to be more light and beautiful, it did by his arrival. He will be for me the one that got away. Sending you much love and light, along with all your many friends and family who I know clearly miss you everyday. It was my pleasure to have crossed paths with you on this plane.
Love,
Terrance Anzaldi
