I was saddened to see Bob's name in the obituary section of the Green Valley News. I knew Bob as the Jim Click shuttle driver. He was always friendly and kind, brightening my day. No matter how long it had been since he had last seen me, he somehow remembered me. Bob's friendly smile will be missed even by those of us who only had the privilege of seeing him every 5,000 miles. My most sincere condolences to Bob's family.-Anna
I fondly recall the many times I spent with Mr. Sartain's family when I was a kid. I especially remember the stories and jokes he would tell at dinner time. I still smile when I remember his "Duck Call"! Shelly and John, I am especially thinking of you, and I hope you experience God's comfort and peace during this time. –Shellie Peercy

I was quite shocked to see Bob's name in the obituary section of the Green Valley's newspaper this morning. Bob was my "shuttle man" each time I had to take my vehicle in to Jim Click's for oil changes, etc. We had some lovely chats together and had much in common as we share the Christian faith. I remember he loaned me books a couple of times which he thought I would enjoy. He was a gentleman and I remember him fondly. My condolences to the family. I know you miss him but we hope for a grand reunion someday. Blessings, Joan Loveless.

Hey Bob, hope you're enjoying a bogey-free round of golf. Thanks for the memories of fun times in Arizona golfing together. Always enjoyed our FAA relationship, too. Hit 'em straight "possum-squirrel"KERMIT
We would like to send our deepest sympathy to the Sartain Family. We knew Bob when I started working at Green Valley, Az and became instant friends I loved to hear all his stories about his long travels he was a great friend I could always talk to and get great advise from especially about my family. Even after I left my job we kept in contact and I was very upset to know he was leaving Green Valley for good we were suppose to have dinner again at our home but never seem to find the time. Bob you will loved and missed very much but I know you are in a better place and we are better people knowing you.Jim and Barbara Carpenter Tucson, Arizona
Shelly and John, I am sorry for your loss. I pray God will give you comfort at this sad time. I especially remember how much your dad loved Halloween with all the dry ice smoke and decorations. I believe he enjoyed it more than any of you kids! He will be missed!
Bob and I were buddies during high school. He had a car and connections. I occasionally had a little gas money. We scuba dived together, fished and chased girls (never catching). I remember being envious of him as he developed sales skills selling cars and fencing. Becoming an air traffic controller was a great career step and he prospered. He was best man at my wedding to Elizabeth Beckham in 1966. Elizabeth and I visited with him in Green Valley, AZ in 2012. He was driving for a Ford dealership to stay busy. We compared notes about our dancing skills. Elizabeth told him we dance several times a week but she didnâ??t like to dance with anyone but me because it seemed she always got a man with very bad breath. He immediately responded that he must have danced with the manâ??s wife. We kept in touch but seldom saw each other after he moved from Ft. Worth. My last conversation with him was from his hospital bed in December. He seemed tired and weak but still his jovial old self. I thought we would talk again. He will be missed by all who knew him.John Harris
