Robert Charles Kochan - Online Memorial Website

Bob,
      There is not a day that goes by that I don't think about you.  The talks we had and the time we spent together.  One of your favorite pictures hangs in Alaina's room and every night when I put her to bed I think about you. The world is not the same without you. Miss you always and will never forget you. My family will always have a big place in our hearts for you for many reasons.
                                                                                Love always,
                                                                                Susanne, Jeremy&Alaina

Bob will always be one of my most favorite people. I loved his quick wit and goofball humor.  I remember how he talked really fast, and how he always had to wear those party shirts. He was the life of the party. Bob's enthusiasm and passion for life was inspiring to be around. He was always so positive and supportive of other people. There are so many memories of good times spent together. There is not another friend that I have laughed more with. He was such a bright light. I loved him dearly. He will be in my heart forever.

Bob, Daddy & I always remember the cute face you made when a cow did something unexpected.  I Ioved being your den mother, history and picture lady at your school.  I remember putting on music and dancing with you and Phil. I have pictures of going to Springfield with Grandma Janet, Phil, you and me with the scouts. You always liked me to make a special birthday cake for you.  You never wanted a store bought cake. You wanted that personal touch. I remember going to Wisconsin Dells with you, Auntie Cindy,Phil and me.  You went to church camp and loved it. 

 

 I'm so glad I sent you to Timothy Christian middle school and high school. When you got in trouble those teachers told you they were praying for you.  You were amazed by that.  Daddy loved going to  your wrestling matches at Timothy.  At this school you were influenced by high achievers 

Bob, you are very dear to Stafford and me! We will always remember you, Donna, and Bella together in our home on several Christmas days!! What joy and life you were to us! How brave your parents, Ed and Karyn, have been also! We know this Christms season you will be around the Master's table for His Birthday! What a thought....and that each of us will be together in Heaven one day!! We know you are now completely healed! We anxiously wonder what job our  Lord has you doing even now! We miss you very much! How exciting to know that eternity with Jesus and all our family and friends causes our hearts to wait with Great Joy! Love to you and all your family!

An amazing smile, beautiful personality, and a wonderful heart!  Bob was a man who touched many hearts, whethet it was his family members or the stranger he smiled at in crossing paths.  A wonderful memory for me is shooting pool and relaxing with my beautiful cousin Donna and her wonderful husband Bob, shortly after coming home.  His energy and will to fight stiffened my resolve on the days i needed it the most and in a place that could only be considered a nightmare, Donna and Bob gave me light!
