Ramona's Flower Farm

I wanted to share Bob's obituary:

Robert David Wallace
March 12, 1956 - June 2, 2017

Bob was born in Boise, ID to William “Bill” Franklin and Lucille Lloyd Wallace, second of four boys. They led an adventurous childhood in Dry Creek Valley. His Grandma Murphy was a special part of his life. The stories!

Bob attended Indiana University, College of Idaho, Mannes School of Music, graduating George Fox 1999 and BSU Horticultural Science 2011. Employment included Certified Rug Cleaners, manager at the 92nd St. Y Jewish Cultural Center, NYC, and MPC, but his true passion was Ramona’s Flower Farm. Bob raised the bar of excellence for locally grown flowers. We love local florists and they love us. He was able to live his dream. Bob cannot be discussed without mentioning his unique voice. Whether speaking, singing or laughing, his spirit moved others. Bob’s other passions were his Lord, family, music, and birds. Opera, pigeons, chickens. Oh My!

Bob married Ramona Dotson, a Capital High acquaintance, in 1988. He was so, so proud of their five children!

Preceded in death by his grandparents and parents, he is missed, and held dear, by wife, Ramona; children: Jesse Robert, Rosalind “Roz” Grace (Greg Johnson), Samuel “Sam” David (Alexis) and daughter Thea, Mary Kathleen, William Patrick; Brothers: Frank (Sue), Jeff “Fuffrey” (Alicia), Brett; Sister: Samantha (Jeremiah Wagner); several nieces and nephews; Best friends Pastor Geoff and Judy Cole; Best Buds Puggie and Daisy-Doo.

Bob was a man of great passions, genius, and love for his fellow man, and most importantly, his God. He loved Jesus!

Celebration of Life is Saturday, June 10, 11am, Ustick Road Church of the Nazarene, 817 W. Ustick Rd, Caldwell, ID, dove release and potluck following.

With much sorrow on our part, we must inform you all that Bob passed away on Friday afternoon. He is now rejoicing, with no more pain, along with the angels, in the presence of his Lord Jesus. He was able, for six years, to fulfill his dream of digging in the dirt and creating beauty over and over again. As local florists will attest, Bob set the bar for excellence in locally grown flowers. But he's enjoying even greater beauty in the presence of God and His garden. Here's to Bob Wallace and his eternity with Jesus! We love you!

Dear friends of the farm, it's with great sadness that we must inform all that we are unable to carry on with the farm this year. Bob, who is the true heart and soul of the farm (we thought Ramona's sounded better than Bob's) has been diagnosed with terminal cancer. While this sounds dire - and it is - we are in love with a great big, amazing God. We believe in His greatness, healing power, and awesome love for His children. A GOD of mercy and miracles. We ask for all your prayers and ask you and all those you know to keep this sweet, talented man in constant prayer. We can do this! God bless you all and we would love to be back in the saddle next year!
