I remember Bob as a great baseball coach and an extra fine gentleman, always willing to work with kids. I learned a lot from him. Darren, Dawn and family, you have our deepest sympathy.

My dad was the epitome of kindness and love. I never doubted it for one second growing up. I am proud and blessed to call him dad and so very grateful for our last few days together. God gave us many laughs and great memories. He will be so missed but we take comfort in knowing exactly where he is. In Heaven With our great Lord and Savior and having a grand old family reunion with all of his loved ones. Mainly my mom and daughter whom he missed more then anything. Rest In Peace dad. See you soon. I love you more.

Bob was a wonderful man. A proud husband, father and grandfather. A Marine, a patriot, and a truly great human being. I'm proud to have known him my whole life. His family is a testament of the kind soul he was. God Speed Bob, rest in peace.

I would like to offer my sincere condolences to Robert's family, sorry for your loss. Jeremiah 29:11, 12 assures us that God is thinking thoughts of peace towards us, to give us a future and a hope, and that if we come and pray to Him, He will listen to us. May that bring you comfort in this time of sorrow.
