I cannot believe it has been two years. Geez I miss him. We danced and laughed a lot. He was always just a phone call away. Best dancer ever!! I love this photo of him. His warmth and kindness shine through. RIP my friend. You left a hole in my heart.

Bob was a dear dance friend. He moved with such energy and joy -- I was surprised to learn his age here. When he was living in Royersford, Bob and I attended the Blob Ball in Phoenixville, a 1950's dance -- it was so much fun. Another special dance night was when his granddaughter came with him to a Saturday night Peppermint dance. I (and all of his dance partners) will miss him.

Bob was such a sweet man. So kind and thoughtful. He was one of my favorite dance partners at the TK Club. He did all the dances, waltz, swing, zydeco and was so smooth. We always laughed and talked while dancing. He will be missed by all the ladies!!

Prior to 2008, when we lived in SE PA, Bob would often travel to music festivals in our car. He was always delightful company. He was a big part of our dance community. We will miss him.

Hi Bob, I am so sorry I didn't get up to the hospital to see you. I had pneumonia and then had family obligations (birth of a new grandbaby). You were such a joy to dance with and I loved playing you hard in tennis. Great sense of humor and you would crack me up. I didn't realize you were in the Korean War, so was my dad, and he talked about it often in the end. He passed in June, age 89, you may have known each other... Love to you Bob, thanks for all the wonderful dances. Rest in peace my friend, we are in for some wild times.

Bob was a firm believer in higher education. He was very proud the day his granddaughter graduated from Virginia Tech.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Your dad loved to dance with the ladies at our Cajun and zydeco dances. He was one of the best leads in waltzes. He will be missed.

I am so sorry for your loss. Your father was a dear friend and a joyful dancing partner to me. He introduced me to bird watching and made it such fun. I will always remember the laughs we shared; he always could make me laugh. I loved that he could laugh at himself. I am so glad he he was in my life. Blessings to all of you. Catherine Vernon
