Not sure what to say?

Bob was a mentor to me. I still draw on his teachings today.

I loved taking Bob's philosophy class. His lecture on happiness is still something I think of almost daily. The world has lost a very bright light.

We remember Bob with great fondness and gratitude. He was a great colleague and friend at KVCC, and Bob and Kris were our neighbors at our first house. We remember the happy days when they brought Rachal and Danielle from the hospital, and the sad day when they moved away.

May Bob’s memory be a blessing to all of us who knew him, and may his wide-eyed curiosity about the world be something we can all aspire to find in our own lives.

Rest In Peace, Bob. We will miss...

Kris & Danielle,
I am sorry for your loss. You are in my thoughts. I think about all of you when I think about Jake (dog I got from you).

Bob impacted the lives of so many with his kind and calming ways. He listened and promoted appreciation of the world and mankind creating understanding and hope. He will be missed greatly.

Kris, Danielle and Family,
Bob was a kind and loving man of life. He knew how to make you feel welcomed and warmed by his presence. I have memories of his kind words during very troubling times in my life. Also, a great recipe that I still enjoy making. Please know that my love and support is reaching out to you all. Love, Jill

Bob is a true KVCC icon. You will be missed. Godspeed, Bob!

Was one of my many instructors at KVCC back in the 70s. RIP Robert.
