Not sure what to say?

Truly saddened to hear of Bob's passing. We worked together on a film in Norway back in 2006. He was always a consummate pro and just a sweet man. Condolences to family and friends and may his name be for a blessing.

Bob always brightened my day when he came to buy coffee and his Lotto ticket. He even built me a cute picnic table for my squirrels. His wife also graced me with her presence when he could not make it in. She brightened some of my darkest days with her handmade scarf that she gave me for Christmas. She even told me Bob picked it out because I was "colorful". You will be missed and I am honored I got to spend brief moments with you both over the last 3 years. Thank you.

LOVE- Jen...

I'm so very sorry to hear of Bob's passing. He meant the world to each of my parents. Bob's kind words at both of their memorial services meant the world to my sister Katherine and I. Sending love to Kathy and his family. May his memory be a blessing.

Bob was an amazing actor and director, a wizard with lighting design, an artistic genius with set design and construction. But most of all he was a gentleman and a true friend. Bob, you are greatly missed and will always be remembered.

We so appreciated Bob sharing his gifts to create sets for many Salem Lutheran Children's Musicals as well as playing a lead role. We were so impressed with him as Mr. Green most recently, and know Kathy and the Stage Coach family have lost a dear man and talent with a fine legacy of memories. Our hearts and prayers.

My heart is heavy but my memories are so fond and loving. You were the epitome of a genuinely wonderful man. Our days at Stage Coach Theatre will bring us joyful memories for many, many years. I know that Karlie loved working with you as the little Dutch girl in Miracle on 34th Street and The Sound of Music. I enjoyed every play that we saw you perform in. You were such an asset to the theatre and I hope they realize how much you have done for them. We loved spending time at the lake house...

You will be missed more than you know. RIP, I love you.

Perhaps the most genuinely kind and decent man I have ever known. RIP Bob.
