Robert "Bob-O" Emerson Halterman
January 25, 1953 - July 25, 2015
Robert "Bob-O" Emerson Halterman, 62, of Fruita, Colorado
passed away Saturday, July 25, 2015, of heart failure in his
home with his dog, Lucky, by his side.
He was born in Arcata, CA; although as he would tell it, he
was born in Pedley. Those who knew Bob, knew that he could
be a teller of pretty tall tales, but some facts will stand out as diamonds in his life.
In 1981, he married Janice Cloud in Riverside, CA. Shortly afterwards, they moved to Mack, Colorado, and eventually to
Fruita where he would spend the remaining 30 years of his life.
Throughout 34 years of marriage, he loved his wife, and they
stood together throughout all the struggles they had to face. He created a life and a home, and eventually they had a son, Matthew Robert, and a daughter, Tawny Lee Frances.
Bob is survived by his wife, and children, as well as his
daughter-in-law, Brandi; son-in-law, Diego; granddaughter,
Elayshia; grandson, Griffen, and grandson, Juan Diego. He was a loving father, husband, and grandfather.
Bob had his own sense of fashion, wearing his signature plain
pocketed T-shirt, and either jeans or cut off shorts fashioned
from his old jeans. Every morning he enjoyed coffee and the
morning paper, and had a love of raising his children, milk and
tinkering around with the wide collection of unique objects he
accumulated throughout his life. He created a world around him that he wanted to live in, and pulled everyone he touched into it.
Although he has passed away, his world and memory will stay
with his family, and his spirit will continue in all of their hearts.
