Not sure what to say?

Our condolences and prayers to Sharon and children and grandchildren.
We met Bob and Sharon way back at St Pats and their brood of red heads, (baby Jordan was the exception).
Cool and calm was this father of many friendly energetic kids.
Bob would have a serious look yet humorous remarks would readily come out all the while keeping his straight face which made it all the more funny.
In his short life of 71 years, Bob has accomplished much for His Lord and Savior, in...

My first job out of college was with IBM in Omaha, Nebraska in the late 70's, early 80's. Bob took me under his "wing", was an amazing mentor, and my favorite memories are of our road trips out to "cold call" on farmers and businesses to sell them computers. This is back in the day when most people did not know how to spell "computer" nor understand why in the heck they would need one! Bob was able to connect with these people, and explain how the computer could help them. Bob was one of...

Bob was my first manager at IBM and help me grow as a person and sales professional. I appreciated his caring attitude and the sense he instilled of being a team player for the greater good. God Bless you Bob and thanks for being a part of my life.

I had the pleasure of working for Bob many years ago at IBM. I look back fondly at that time, he was a good manager and a better man.

Sharon and family, At IBM I had the honor of working with Bob beginning in 1994 in Printing Systems and then recruiting him in 1999 to WebSphere. He was one of the most beloved sales leaders on my team thru all those years. We shared a common love of Jesus Christ and the trust and respect we had for each other was of the highest order. Ill never forget Spin and will always smile at the thought of him.

We first crossed paths with Bob and your family when he was a lector at St. Patrick's and had this marvelous family there with him, who would be all of you. So we were sad when he left to join Holy Family Church, But I saw him occasionally at weekly Mass at Our Lady of Grace, sometimes with Sharon. At that time you were waiting patiently for the ordination of your son/brother to the priesthood. We had watched him as an altar boy for many years, and I was not surprised to hear that he was...

Our deepest condolences to Sharon and family on the loss of your Husband and Father. Love and prayer. Tom and Carlie DuBose.

That was a very precious gift to Holy Family. He was a man of integrity and passionate about his work with the Lord. Sharon, and of course the children, he will be missed. May you be blessed this day and every One to come Until we meet again. Karen

Prayers for you guys.
