I have known Bob since I was 5 years old, I lived next door to him and his family, Bobby and I were good childhood friends. It is sad to hear of his passing. Unknowing to him he has been one that has encouraged me to be a studier of history and as I got older I realized how important that it is to read what brave men throughout history have done. Semper Fi Bob.

Fyork family, my deepest symathy for your loss. I have many fond memories of Bob and our Western Electric family, and regret we have not kept in touch. I lost my husband last year and it is painful still. Take comfort in the fact they are no longer suffering. There were so many good times to remember. Ellaine Beeman (Grecian) Fortuna, Missouri

Bob was an outstanding man both in his personal life and his business life at Western Electric. I always looked up to him for his ability to maintain his composure and his integrity under difficult circumstances. He was a truly good man ....no, an exceptionally good man. I am very saddened that he is gone.
