I am just now finding out about Bob's passing, here in Jakarta Indonesia. Bob was a cherished friend of my mother's, and I went with her to meet him several years ago in his Ovid home. We took a picture then that is framed with me here in Jakarta. I treasure meeting him and the beloved friend he was of my Mom's, and many. I was incredibly impressed by the gracious, unassuming, yet so incredibly talented presence of this man. I cherish his work and fervently wish to see that all of it is...

Bob has been a long time friend, since our teen age years and a member of "our
gang" enjoying the teen canteen at the Centenary Methodist Church in Brighton and many other memorable occasions. He was an usher at our wedding and we are proud to have a couple of his original works of art. We had some great times visiting him when he attended the Academy of Dramatic Arts in NYC. Over the years we have kept his note cards and Christmas cards.
He also did a collage of his myriad of...

He was a close friend in High School and showed his talent early on. It was not possible to repay Bob for any of the kind, thoughtful things that he did for us. He would not hear of it. We will miss his beautiful Christmas cards and presence.

I first met Bob in Lynchburg, VA, where he headed up the then nascent Lynchburg Arts Center, and taught drawing and painting to a group of very lucky and devoted people who recognized his brilliant talent. One of my proudest possessions is a portrait he did of me as a young man of 19,(I am now almost 70),just before I came to New York City to study at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts. We kept in touch through the years, and my wife and I were the delighted recipients of many of his...

I met Mr. Harman while employed at Kendal at Ithaca. He was a delightful and accomplished gentleman. I cherish the 2 cards and notes that he sent to me. They were his own creation and very beautiful. Robin Gavin

I offer my deepest sympathy to this family. when tragedy strikes and takes the life of our loved ones, many cry out with great sorrow. your tears are not unnoticed by the creator of life. never was it his purposed for our human lives to be taken away. although your deep pain will not easly disappear. prayer to god will bring comfort to you as you grieve." the bible assures us god is healing the broken hearted ones, and is binding up their painful spot". {psalm 147:3}
