Bob married Janet and I, after he had made a major impact on her life and her family's life while he served at Grace UMC in Charlotte. He was a servant leader with a sense of humor and a directness that I've never forgotten. When I think of the best of Methodism, Bob comes to mind. All the best to his wonderful family.

Scott, Kim and Beth, What a wonderful Dad and Mom you had. Growing up with you were wonderful times in Charlotte. Carmon and I send our condolences in the loss of your talented Dad. God Bless each and you and your families. Much Love! Geoff and Carmon Campbell

It was a joy to have Bob as our Charlotte DS while I was serving as Associate Minister at Myers Park, and I would like to mention two memorable events that are still on my mind. At our Annual Picnic at Veterans Park on August 23, 1985, he led us in a Softball Game. Then, 29 years later, enjoying time at Myrtle Beach on July 9, 2014, he was gracious enough to join us for a meal at Bennett's Calabash Seafood. Bob was always a pleasant companion in any event. May God's greatest comfort bless you!

Bob was a wonderful pastor at CUMC and I enjoyed becoming his friend. He will be missed by all who knew him.
