Bob was a great writer and I so enjoyed our conversations...we always worked together 'virtually' but had struck up a friendly relationship. He was a pleasure to work with. I'm so sorry for your loss - Diane Lore

Bob's local articles were something to look forward to, something refreshing from his retirement years. Bob was a local hero and will be sorely missed. Thinking of you and wishing you warm memories to comfort you.

For nearly a decade, I had the privilege of sitting next to Bob, reporting our stories, writing on deadline and sharing the highs and lows of Washington journalism. He was a mentor to me - as a journalist and a dad. He cared deeply about his family, his country and the craft of newspapering. He was my friend and colleague. I will miss him, and I pray he's found peace in heaven, in the arms of the seaside, in the places and people he loves down home.

My wife Margaret and I cherished Bob's friendship and loved his writing. He was a true newspaperman. We'll miss him terribly.

Willing handshake, willing smile, I only met him a few weeks ago, but I'll never forget the moment. Bob spoke at our "Scribblers Writers' Retreat Conference" and published a promotive piece with AJC, prior to the conference. Had I read the copy? No, I'd been in Alaska since the interview. Bob was disappointed. Bob wanted to be read, to be understood and to be appreciated for his talent. Now, we will never know the full range of his ability, the stories he might have created in retirement. The conference was brighter because Bob's light emanated in our presence. Bob was a writer and the final script was his own.

Bob, I don't understand this. When we meet in the future I am sure you will explain it. Your friend, Philip

Bob was a gifted reporter and writer whose work I've always admired greatly. But most of all, he was a great guy who was always cordial and engaging when I knew him as a colleague at The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. He was one of a dying breed who seemed to see newspapering as a joy. While I didn't know Bob well when he worked at the paper, I've seen quite a bit of him lately on St. Simons. I had a few drinks with him just a few days ago and went away promising myself that I would become a better friend. I now mourn the loss of that friendship.

May the Lord Bless you, and keep you, and make His face to shine upon you, and give you His peace in this trying time.
You have MANY prayers supporting you, and all who knew Bob are thankful for the time we had with him.
My heart felt prayer is that EACH of you finds the comfort you need, in the LORD and His promises.

Bob's technique was to write down all the quotes first, and then build his story around them. I wish he could see the ones here. And there's still so much more to his story.

I'm heartbroken with our great loss! When I went to Glynn Academy, Bob was one of the heroes and leaders I so admired, and as popular as he was, he was also sincerely kind to us shy underclassmen. I was able to tell him this years later when we reconnected in Wash,DC, when I worked with U.S. Rep Jack Kingston, & worked with Bob on some stories for the AJC. My prayers go to the family and to the multitude of us who knew and loved him. Rest in Peace Bob.

Sherry, my thoughts go out to you and your family. Bob saw himself (quite deservedly) as the biggest wordsmith in our bureau. He labored over each turn of phrase and often what he produced was gold. In a bureau that I say very endearingly was comprised of many characters, Bob stood out for his uniqueness. (I'm thinking of him rocking in his chair...)
I'm shocked and saddened by his loss.

Bob was one of the writers I most respected when I started working in Atlanta. Later, when I was on the national desk at the Journal-Constitution and he was in the Cox Washington bureau, we frequently talked about stories he was working on. I've been hearing from mutual friends at St. Simons and former newspaper colleagues all day. As another of the great writers at the Journal-Constitution said to me a few minutes ago, "Bob was one of the nicest guys I knew at the paper." A lot of us felt that way.

Bob and I crossed paths several times since I left St. Simons in 62. In the summer of 63, Bob hitchhiked to Vero from Brunswick with a suitcase, and a pair of football shoes. He wanted to live with us and play a season of F.B. in Fla.....What a Guy! I always enjoyed seeing him at the Reunions, and on St Simons. We played football together, and formed a friendship that lasted all these years.
In January Bob, Eddie Ratcliff, and myself met at the Red Barn and talked for hours. I feel blessed now, to have been with him one more time. He was a Special person....I will miss Bob Dart, and I know many others will too..

I was very shocked and saddened to hear about Bob. At the last reunion we spent a long time talking about the "Good Old Days." We have lost a lot of classmates this year and it makes one reflect on how precious life, friendship and family should be. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family....Bob was one great guy. He touched a tremendous number of people and his legacy will continue...Paul Joseph

I am so sorry to hear of the death of another Dart brother. I looked for Bob's writing for the Atlanta Journal Constitution, and have saved the one he did on a Memorial Day years back about a classmate of his, Robert Rabb of Darien. It made people understand the real meaning of the day.
