I have been moved by all of your loving comments about Bob. He was always kind and positive. This is our fourth grade class at what was then the brand new Snow Elementary School. This was the year I met Bob. I think he would be so touched by the beautiful messages you all have left here. I am glad you sweet friends were all my classmates too.

So sorry to hear about our beloved Bob, always so nice, helpful and thoughtful. I wish I could go back to Junior High and tell him what a great person he is, was. Bob I knew I could always trust him and know that he would be there if I needed someone to be there. You inspired me to be a better person Bob. Love you. Carol

I also was surprised and saddened to learn of Bob's passing. Although we were not close friends we were friends. At our last reunion, he seemed to go out of his way to say hi. But, that was Bob a genuinely nice guy. He was one of the Good Guys and the world will be less without him.
