I was very saddened to learn yesterday of the passing of Bob Peterson. I have many fond memories of Bob, but there are a few in particular that immediately come to mind.
Bob loved to Love! Bob loved to express Affection! The most memorable scenes are when I had the privilege to visit Bob "working" in the capacity of principal at his elementary school. I was too young myself to appreciate or recognize what I was witnessing. As I reminisce 24 years later, I'm quite comfortable...

It was my privilege to be one of Bob's fellow principals in Lubbock ISD. I genuinely loved him. He was always kind, generous, and friendly. He had a great sense of humor, and I always enjoyed visiting with him. I just learned of his passing, and I extend my deepest sympathy to Mary and children. I know you all loved him very much and will really miss him. He will be missed by all who knew him. I pray that God will cover you with His love during this difficult time in your lives.

I also have nothing but good memories of Bob. He was great at helping others who were struggling with various issues in life, and his sense of humor (remember all his golf jokes?) helped break the ice with many of us who knew him in the fellowship. God blessed us all with his life, and he is surely watching us from the eighteenth green in heaven. Fore!

I have nothing but good memories of Bob. He always had positive, uplifting words and encouraged. Thank you for being my father's good friend and our family as well. Mary, he will be missed and I will remember him the way I last saw him.
