My condolences to Bob's family and close friends. I had the pleasure of working with Bob for a few years and consider myself fortunate for that time for his perspective and advice as well as numerous & entertaining stories in addition to thought provoking and informative conversation.

Dear Bette: I am sorry for your loss, but happy to know that Bob got to have a few years in retirement. I was impressed that he taught till he was 81. He was a great colleague and you are a special lady.

I attended IPFW back in the early 90's and Bob is one of the teacher's that I can still remember being in his classroom, as he always had a story to tell. My sympathy goes out to his family and hope that he is in God's presence now.

I am a graduate of the CAET program. Bob was always the most helpful and caring. Bob helped me motivate and complete my degree. He will be missed.

Please accept my sincere sympathy at this time of loss. I remember Uncle Bob as such a gentle person - truly a gentleman. Paul and David, how difficult to lose both Mom and Dad so close together. Be assured of my prayers for you and your precious families whom he loved so much, Sister Patsy

I remember Bob ever since I was a little kid when my father farmed for his dad. We have stayed in touch through the years and always enjoyed our talks on the phone or in person. He was a special man and will be greatly missed. Our deepest sympathy to Bette and his family. May God give you peace and comfort during this time of loss.
