Just found out. Too many memories to count. Bob was one of the smartest guys I know. Once while visiting my engineering alma mater, the dean commented to me as we were walking and talking about my college experience that it seemed to him that I learned more from Bob than at school. He was right. Bob taught me how to troubleshoot problems in ways that serve me to this day. My heart is sad, but only for a little while - I am looking forward to seeing Bob again, when I meet Jesus at our new home.

I loved papa Bob he was always good to me

I worked with Bob back in the early to mid 90's. Bob had a nickname for me, Doubler. We worked well together. I learned a lot from him on rebuilding Hammond organs, sound system repairs and installations and much more. I got to me Don, Butch and Barry. Good guys. I just found out yesterday, 6-25-2022, that Bob had passed. I wanted to come and visit him a couple of years ago, but my health has been so good. Great memories of a great man.

Bob was a talented, professional musician and a great friend. It was truly my honor and my pleasure to perform with him for many years. I will always remember how much fun it was to sing and play my bass while he played his big doghouse bass at the same time, and to see him smile at me in amusement. Cherished memories.. My heartfelt condolences to Delcie, Barry and Bob's entire family. Love and Healing Prayers to all. Tammy Webb Howard Daughter of Bob Webb

It was a joy to know Bob Dockery. His music was always so amazing, yet he was so gracious he always bragged on my music. That was a real compliment coming from someone who had played with the best musicians of the day. We always enjoyed his stories and memories of musicians he had known. He was a delightful person who enjoyed life and living. His faith was deep, and it has now taken him to his eternal home. We offer prayers for his family during this time of his departure to Heaven.

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.
