Dear Marsha,
I worked with Bob for 16 years in the State Park system and though we have been out of touch the past several years I always think fondly of him. He was my DA the last few years in the system and a great friend. My wife Karen and I send our sincerest condolences to you and the rest of the family. I will miss Bob.

Dear Marsha,
We are sorry for your loss of Bob. He was a dear friend and Danny really enjoyed his opportunities to coach Motorcycle safety classes with Bob who was very skilled, helpful and fun during these sessions. You and his family are in our thoughts and prayers.

I want to express my condolences to the family of Bob Mathis. I first met Bob at the Beta Theta Pi House when we were students at West Virginia University in the early 1960's. Bob was a really good guy and I enjoyed seeing him from time to time over the years. He will be missed.

I've known Bob for many years going all the way back to when I first met him while working at the State Health Department. He was a great guy and I will miss him dearly. All my love and prayers for Marsha and Bob's family.

I have worked at Blackwater Falls State Park for several years and count it as a privilege to have known Bob. His laugh, humor and wonderful stories will never be forgotten.

I was one of Bob's caregivers and there wasn't a time that I was there that he didn't make me laugh. He had such a good sense of humor and always positive. I would be there Tuesday and Thursday from 1pm to 6pm and we would talk about everything. He loved to watch Maverick and we would guess who the guest were playing on Maverick that day. Some of them I knew and some of them he knew. I could tell he was a good man and I love Marsha as well. Great people to work for and I will miss Bob....

I know your family and friends know what a good man you were; but, I'd like you and them to know how much I valued your friendship and your sense of humor as well as your outlook on the world. You will be missed by many.
