Not sure what to say?

Great guy. Didn't learn of his passing until now. Lots of talent. Uniquely Bob.

Joy-I am sorry to hear this! I have sweet memories of you and Bob and the girls when you were in Macon. I remember especially when Bob showed up at our doorstep the day after our good friend Jim died. I said "I´m not family" and he said "But you loved him too." He was right. And he showed up. I always loved Bob for that. Blessings to you and those sweet girls of yours. Love-Daphne

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.

Bob was my EFM mentor for four years, and he lived in Macon (my home town) for many years, so I had many opportunities to get to know Bob in various groups. Bob was simply a great guy - solid - fun - kind and helpful - reliable - just the kind of person you liked to be around. He (and his puns) will be sorely missed! My love and sympathy to Joy and all his family - May God send you peace and comfort in the times to come.

My heartfelt prayers for comfort and peace are with Bob's family and close friends. It was truly a blessing to have known him for even a few short months. In Christ, we have a blessed hope of seeing him again, in a Land where there is no sickness, nor sorrow.

Joy, Meredith and Katie you are all in our thoughts and prayers. Bob will be greatly missed but what a blessing to know where he is now and that he is healed! I know that Gran & Gaddy were waiting with open arms at his arrival. The Stone family sends you all much love❤

Father Bob was always smiling and always there when he was needed when he was a Chaplain at the Med. He was with my family when my Mother died. He was loved by the staff and patient alike.
RIP, Fr Bob!

Many people in Macon, GA are thinking about and praying for you Joy and Family. Father Bob was such a sweet soul and always had a smile for you. He was loved by so many people at MCCG/Atrium Health, both patients and hospital staff. I treasure the memories of a weekend I and friends spent with you and Bob, sitting on your porch looking at those beautiful mountains. It was a heavenly scene. Please know you will be in my thoughts and prayers. Hilda Hilliard

Father Bob was always a bright light when I worked with him in Macon. He came and prayed (and told several jokes) with me on several occasions, including when I was in labor with my sons. I know that we hadn’t kept in touch well, but I’ll never forget having dinner together after I moved to Blairsville. Joy, your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
