Jeanne and entire Family. Bob and Tommy were our best of friends growing up. We remember his contributions in the Clarks Green Methodist Church, Boy Scouts, where his father was Scout Master, and all of the sports at Clarks Summit Abington. All those memories rushed back hearing of his passing. He has been truly a best friend. Unfortunately he and Jeanne were both missed at the CSA Class 60th Reunion. His passing leaves not only for his family but for all of his friends a loss. God...

Dear Jeanne and family -
A lifetime of memories have come back to mind since I received the sad news that Bob had passed away.
The first story about my cousin Bob goes way back - it is legendary that Bob and I were the first 2 of the 19 Doud grandchildren. While we were both born in Scranton in June 1946, Bob stayed there all his life and we moved west. For many years, Grandma Doud wrote letters telling me stories about the cousins I barely knew.
When you all...

A great boyhood friend, school classmate and boy scout! A kind and gentle soul who always authentic, always present, and kind to everything - including me! A gift to all of us who knew Bob. With greatest sympathies to his spouse and extended family.

I have many fond memories of visiting with my parents (Frank and Pam.). Mr. Staples was always smiling, and when I was young, I was amazed at his skill working on his house. I know my dad treasured their friendship, and I enjoyed seeing my parents laughing with such kind and welcoming friends. I’m so sorry for your loss.
