In loving memory of a wonderful person. Having met at many geocaching events and looked forward in finding his hides. My sincere condolenses to his friends and family .

Barb, I am devastated for your entire family. I cannot imagine walking by the house without seeing him puttering. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time. Don, MJ and Molly Gillikin

I want to express my sympathy to Bob´s family for their loss. Bob and I worked at NASA together but our bigger association was in various tennis programs. He was most enjoyable to be around. I know the family will have cherished memories.

We knew Bob and Barbara many years ago at Holy Spirit as we had much in common. Claudette and I had 6 children but we were charter members of Good Shepherd. Bob was a fine gentleman. Our deepest sympathy to Barbara and their family. Paul & Claudette Michael

Many a mile and caches along the way with Bob.
My condolences to the Family

I knew Bob as Last Chance, his geocaching moniker. I didn't spend time geocaching with hum but spent a lot of time looking for his hides! God's peace be with your family. Drummerchik and 3harleydude AKA Chris and John

I first met Bob at a Bradford Pear tree while seeking a geocache. This stranger walked up and with a fake long southern drawl said: "Whatcha all doin'?" Well, we are seeking a geocache. "What's that?" We explained it, then he admitted to being a geocacher. That was about 19 years ago. In that time, Bob became a good friend and mentor and a geocaching companion. I was fortunate to have been able to seek six geocaches on October 27th. Of those, we were the first ones to find five of them....

Bob (Last Chance) was one of the finest people I ever met through Geocaching. My condolences to his entire family. (neoncacher) Mexico City
