Bob was a co-worker of mine @ North Sound Regional Support Network from March 1993 to July 1998. Although we have not seen each other in 15 years, hearing of his passing was a shock. He was such a kind and gentle man with a strong presence and a wonderfully decisive mind. We, Gloria, Jason and Scott, Bob and I, would go to a local restaurant, who's name escapes me right now, every Thursday and over to their home. We would eat, drink, lament, and be merry. They were good friends. As life would have it, we went our separate ways. Regardless, I will miss Bob because it was good to know that a person like him was around. Now God has that blessing and we have our memories. Gloria, my sincerest condolences, Jason and Scott I can almost imagine your sense of loss. Gloria, I have your telephone number. I will call you soon. Sadly, Art

Prayers go out to Bob's family. He hired me right out of WSU and was my direct supervisor for many years. I learned so much and enjoyed his sense of humor that was so needed in the line of work we did. He will be missed by so many. Darla Sicklesteel

Even in sadness a smile breaks through. Your humor, curiosity, collaboration made you so human and a pleasure to know. Your generosity, compassion, devotion to the people around you made you an inspiration. You lead a life that made a difference and had fun doing it.

Bob, it was a pleasure to know you and work with you, and an even greater pleasure to be your friend. I will always remember and respect you for the love, compassion and kindness you showed your family, friends, coworkers and other people you helped. You always had a twinkle in your eye, a smile on your face and a raunchy, off-color joke on your lips! :) I loved your sense of humor and I miss you already. Take care, my friend. Your life had value, you will be terribly missed. You, Gloria, Jason and Scott will always be in my prayers.

I am going to love Mount Vernon for the rest of my life for all of the support and love shown to Bob in the last year and to his wonderful wife Gloria and our family in general. Bob got love in return for all of the love he had shown so many.

I will miss you each and every day, Bob. You were a mentor, a friend, a teacher, a confidant, an advocate. You have made me a better social worker and I promise to keep your spirit alive in the social services field. This community has lost a man who worked tirelessly for those in poverty, mentally ill, chemically dependent...so many people that are often overlooked in this world were your main concern. You loved everyone and shared your compassion and humor with everyone you met. You, Bob, are the example of embodied compassion and we will all ask ourselves "What would Bob do?" and this will guide us to be better. I am so blessed to have known you.
