Not sure what to say?

My sympathy to all the family I have so many good memories of Bob growing up. And many years later the pleasure of him and Karen visiting us in Oregon. I know he is going to be greatly missed. Such a bright and caring person.

I have known Bob for 80 years, knew his mother and father and ate dinner in their home many times my condolences to the family. Dr Larry Shetwin

I met Bob when I joined AMBUCS in the early 1980s. He and other Big Hatters like Larry Schmaljohn, Ron Miller, Bill Osborne and Dallas Minear among others, were larger than life figures to me in my early 20s. I have great memories of that time. Bob was definitely a "mover and shaker". RIP sir.
