Best Dad ever! He would drive me around to look at properties for my work. He would say, "If you were a real sport, you would buy me a Pepsi and a Twinkie..."
Bob Holmes encouraged me, many years ago, to vigorously pursue and persevere with my studies in Medicine and Surgery. His example of extroverted excellence in following through with life's endeavors remains with me to this very day! We have practiced Cosmetic & Facial Plastic Surgery in San Diego for nearly 30 years because we followed Bob's advice. Bob Holmes lived his life as an IRONMAN: "Anything is Possible."

Bob Holmes - I don't know if he knew what a big part he played in my life when I was in my twenties. Bob and Loreen showed me so much kindness, love and guidance in those days that I considered them my US parents. I felt at home from the day I met them and I will never forget how they did everything they could to help me stay in Utah after graduation. Bob's guidance, cheery smile and jokey ways really helped me at a time when I most needed it, I will always be grateful to him and Loreen for those days which I look back at with love. Even though I haven't since Bob or Loreen for many, many years, there is a warm place in my heart for them both which will always be there.
With all my love

Bob was always so friendly and kind to me. I remember his big laugh and ready smile. I’m glad his pain and suffering is over.
