He coached a bunch of teenagers in soccer and one of those then teenagers was my son, Nathan. He was more than a coach, he was a leader of young men! God bless you, Coach Cripe and Kathy- you are still in my thoughts and prayers! With utmost respect and love!! I so appreciate you both!

Kathy,
I am so sorry for your loss. I only just now learned of his passing. Bob has been a mentor to me for the last ten years and I owe much of my success to his guidance and experience. I have very fond memories of Bob and I really wish I could find the right words to express the feelings of loss that I have right now.
God bless,

I knew him as Robbie many years ago in Kokomo. Best wishes to all of the family. I am not the least bit surprised to read all these kind words about him. I am sorry I didn't stay in contact with Bob and his family. We were good friends in our elementary days...

Kathy,
