George Robert Blitch

To all the Blitch ladies and your spouses. As you know, Bob was a treasure. The coffee klatch outside the church was for men only, especially Bob, Ron, Mahon, and Charlie. I think they are discussing all the same subjects and are happy to have made it through the Pearly Gates. I'm sorry I can't be at the tribute with you today, but my thoughts are there for you.

Love in Christ,
Winn Cantwell

We knew when Bob was out in the yard across from OakGrove(Douglas school) by the "Crack of his Whip" and 3 of us came running(from Winona street) to watch him.Bill and his dad ,Geoge ,made up the rest of the looker-ons. I had lost track of the family thru the years. My deepest condolences to the family. Phil Brakebill

All the rumbling in the sky last night is explained: a lot of his old bowling cronies were waiting for him to join them for some pot bowling. Knock 'em all down, Bob.

My deepest condolences to all of Bob's family and friends.

For some reason what is coming to my mind are all those silly parties with the Wheel of Fortune wheel. What fun we had in those days. We miss you guys more than you could imagine. We will come to Austin on Saturday.

Saddened to hear of Bob's passing. I enjoyed making his espresso with a bit of steamed milk on a daily basis! I'll miss the latest updates on MLB from him!

I remember him sneaking back and forth with a cup of coffee, pretending to listen in while Mindy and I solved the problems of the world at their houseduring high school. He was a very funny guy and did some amazing things.(Mindy - I can't find your current email!)

I'm so sorry to hear of Bob's death. What a bright and witty man. Bob and Mary and the girls are all part of my good memories of the First Presbyterian Church.
