Robert F. CLASS

Uncle Bob always had a brood smile and was quick to laugh or chuckle in his quiet way. With his enthusiasm for sports he was a leader for his family, the boys as well as the girls to participate. How special to have a world class skating family as my 1st cousins!!
I'm so sorry I could not attend the services! Would have loved to hug all of you!
Our prayers are with Aunt Helen and all the kids!

My amazing Uncle Bob provided complete love throughout his long life to his wonderful wife Helen, my dear Aunt, and his talented children Connie, Mark, Nancy, Annette, Paula, Rob and Katie.

My own Dad, Norbert Hipp, attended Cretin High School and St Thomas College through which I felt an attachment to Bob.

My respect for Uncle Bob as a WW II Veteran contributed to my decision to become a career Army Officer. I bragged on Bob throughout my career and...

What a wonderful skating family..Bob &Helen &. Kids were a gift to all. Thank you for the memories..

Bob's love of tennis and the ability to play into his 90's is truly inspirational and motivating for us all to stay active doing what you like to do for as long as possible! And...keep smiling! My thoughts and prayers are with Helen and their terrific family.
Love, Sheila

He was a true gentleman and possessed great love for family and country. It was a gift and a pleasure to know him and his family and being able to serve them was an honor. God Bless You All.

Our prayers go out to the whole family. I knew and worked with Bob at IDS and remember all the good times we had with Bob and his wife and the great man he was. He will be missed by his family and friends.
