Mr. Content was my teacher and counselor at Becon Day Camp in the mid-1950s. On one occasion he took us to Los Alamitos to watch him fly his Navy Jet. It changed my life. After college at UCLA (just like Mr. Content) I became a Naval Flight Officer and flew 220 combat missions in Vietnam. That lead to a life of success and fulfillment. He inspired me.

Bob was Mr. Content to me. I was one of the many children whose childhood was filled with memories of Becon Day Camp. --- Becon Day Camp is the best. It will take you through the West -- To the beach, the park, the pool. Becon day camp is so cool.
What a rich and warm life you led. I am sad to learn of his passing.
Love to his family, Kathy Larson Valikai

Bob was my neighbor here in Hermosa. We shared an alley where I would often find him going or coming on his bike from Golds Gym. He was so dedicated and inspired me to stay active. He gave me a great piece of advice once telling me to look in the mirror everyday and tell myself 'I love you Nicole'. Always promoting the power of postiive thinking and self affirmation Bob was a bright light in my day. Many of us in this neighborhood will miss him tremendously.

I was sorry to learn of the passing of "Bob" Content, who was my sixth grade teacher in 1965/66 and one of the most beloved teachers at 153rd Street Elementary in Gardena. Mr. Content was more than a teacher: He was an excellent moral instructor; compassionate, concerned personal counselor; and an engaging, fun friend. My condolences to his loved ones.

Mr. Contest was also my 6th grade teacher at 153rd Street School (1966). He truly cared about us as students. He had a great sense of humor! I loved how he helped me learn about and understand math and percentages, and to know my best feature - he said my eyes sparkled! May he Rest In Peace and may his family be comforted in sweet memories.

Mr. Content was my 6th grade teacher at 153rd St. School (1962). He was possibly the most memorable and inspirational teacher that I have ever had. I remember how he emphasized handwriting to which I am very grateful, and he really taught the meaning of patriotism. It was during my school year that he took the group of LAUSD kids to Washington DC. Although no one from 153rd went, we were all very proud that he represented our school. Thank you, Mr. Content for dedicating your life to...
