Bob and I worked together in Engineering at NIPSCO in the early to mid 1970's. In fact, our desks were right next to each other. He was a great co-worker, with an excellent sense of humor. I saw Bob shortly after his return from the Middle East, and learned of the critical role he played in our engagement there. We have lost a wonderful American and great friend.

One of my favorite memories of my dad was on our second genealogy trips. We spent a lot of time going from cemetery to cemetery looking for our ancestors. I usually found our ancestors before Dad did. But this one time, he found the oldest Swisher we knew about, and he rubbed my face in it! Then he thanked me for finding the cemetery that we searched. The picture shown is Dad by that headstone.

Cindy,
I am sorry that I never got to meet you. I knew Bob in high school. He sat beside me in Civics class and we always had so much fun talking. He was a wonderful person and holds a place in my heart. I will pray that our Lord will comfort you.

Cindy. . . My sincerest sympathies to you and Bob's entire family. I am so happy that we were able to get together last September with some of Bob's longtime friends and fellow classmates from Ho-Hi. Bob was always one of the kindest and most sincere classmates and he certainly was missed at our 50th reunion. Blessings to you! Lynn

I flew with Bob at Pinnacle. He was a good man and a good mentor to the guys he flew with. I always enjoyed flying with him and our conversations when we crossed paths within the airline. Very sorry to see the news of his passing. My condolances to his family.

God Bless Bob Swisher. We considered it an honor to be counted among his friends. Kristen and I thought and talked of Bob and Cindy quite often We not only mourn his passing and cherish the time we spent with him, but also regret not having enriched our own lives more often with the pleasure of their company. Our thoughts and prayers are with you Cindy. With much love and respect
Bob & Kristen Harris.

Cynthia, I was so sorry to hear your sad news. What a wonderful obituary about a life so well lived. Although, I did not know your husband, he was obviously quite a man, and I appreciate all that he did for our country.

Bobby will be missed by so many people. I am grateful for the time I shared with him first with CAP and then as neighbors. He is at peace now. May all of your hearts be filled with peace soon. The memories can never be taken away. Peace and Love to all of you!

Bob was my transition instructor in the Cessna 182 in Civil Air Patrol over 10 years ago and we have stayed in contact ever since. I have always appreciated his calm, collected demeanor and I have always admired him greatly. Bob was a great friend, a mentor and a trusted adviser. He will be missed, but his voice will always be with me as he reminds me (and therefore me to remind others) to protect the nose gear of that 182 on touchdown. Fly high, Bob! Nick Davidson

I will cherish the fond memories that I have of Uncle Bob ranging from the excitement of receiving the coolest Christmas gifts from overseas, discussions of air force vs navy at family gatherings,and the funny stories we were able to share over breakfast in Fl to our action packed car ride from Midway to Hobart.

So sorry for your loss of Uncle Bob. When I graduated from HS he sent me a check, but best of all he sent with it a letter telling me about being a man of honor with words of encouragement about my journey thru life. That was so special to me. Know that all of you are in my thoughts and prayers. Love, Michael Stanivuk
