Not sure what to say?

Mr. Bobbit was a wonderful chemistry teacher and a mentor. He accompanied me to New York City on a trip sponsored by Bell Labs and Western Electric in 1972. I will always remember him fondly.

Mr. Bobbit played a large part in my decision to pursue science. He was one of my very favorite teachers. I have thought about him many times over the years. I am so grateful.

What a wonderful sense of humor. It connected him with his students. His antics will forever be part of his delightful memory. RIP , Mr. B.

Through my many years of study there were very few teachers that were truly memorable. Mr. Bobbit was one of them. The ability to make you feel like you can master Physics, Chemistry ... life. Thank you and thanks to your family for sharing you with all of us. Thoughts, prayers and many great memories go with you!

Mr. Bobtit was a very unforgetable teacher who influenced many students over years ot teaching. Deep sympathies to the Bobbit family.

Lee's Summit has lost another great teacher. Mr. Bobbit was a wonderful person, teacher, mentor, and fellow kindred spirit. Chemistry and science became part of my life because of Mr. Bobbitt and his ability to make it interesting and enjoyable. I don't think I will ever forget the rockets in physics class as they majestically soared over LSHS, much to the objections of the administration and possibly the Highway Patrol.

He worked with my dad, other teachers, some friends, and I...

I salute a man who had a very positive impact on my life. The grounding he gave me in science carried through my college and graduate education and entire career. There are never enough teachers of his caliber.
