Bob was a great fellow and good manager of Briardale Square Homeowner's complex. We are very sorry for his passing
I will never forget the night I met Bob. I was attending a meeting for Arcadia Lodge in hopes of starting a DeMolay Chapter, a leadership organization for boys sponsored by Freemasonry. Before the meeting started he came up to me and said "Young man, if there is not support tonight in the meeting, you should just go back to the dorms and study your books." Little did I know Bob was to become the first Advisory Board Chairman of a DeMolay chapter in Ames, and a good friend.
That night was a pivotal point in my DeMolay career and my life as it propelled me into new leadership opportunities not available to most 19-year-olds. I'm forever indebted to Bob and the members of Arcadia Lodge for what they did in those few years.
It was always fun watching Bob banter back and forth with everyone. He was a great example of how to the treat the people you are with.
Bob was an amazing man and a wonderful friend. He possessed wisdom, insight and a wry sense of humor - a great communicator. Our love to all the family.
Uncle Mick was the greatest - he was our Santa and our fun loving uncle! We will miss his humor and his laughter. Uncle Mick and Aunt Evie had an amazing relationship - it was certainly a marriage that served as a role model for many! We have so many fond memories. Love to the rest of the family --
To the family of Bob Mickle, You can be very proud of Bob as he was a wonderful man and a great long time friend. Many fond memories of Bob.
My sympathies to you.
Bob was a great guy, always willing to help, always with a good sense of humor. I first met him when I was in my 20's. Some people you just never forget. Rest in Peace, Bob. You will be missed.
