Not sure what to say?

I was in The Class of 1961. Mister Dober was the Most Amazing Teacher I ever knew. (The janitor had to clean and wax his desk after he jumped-up on it every day and get rid of the footprints). Our Mathematics teacher, that First, Formative Year was Richard Gmeindl (Mine-del), who Mister Dober always called "Gumenldull"! One day in English Class, a teenager walked into class and sat down in the back of the room, and then another. Mister Dober then told Two students to go into G´meldl´s...

Mr.Dober was my teacher in the Humanities program at Beachwood High School. Like so many in the class of `66 I considered him my favorite teacher. He was so creative and supportive. He challenged us to be our best. I loved him and treasure his memory. I wish peace and love to all Mr. Dover´s family and friends

I rental Bob dearly. His many drawings of unusual creatures, all unique and interesting: Animals with duck feet, a lions tail, wings and a giraffe´s neck. And when he was done, he would say " Amazing ? ". The kids would nod a quite yes, and then he would say "but you more amazing!" He loved drawing and reading. And he loved God. While I wish I could see him one more time, I´ll have to wait. I can imagine that when he got to heaven, and he saw all the wonders that it held, he offered a quiet...

I have nothing but fond memories of Mr. Dober. I am so sorry to hear of his passing. I would like to extend my deepest sincerest condolences to the Dober family. Mr. Dober was a great man, the rapport he built here in Maple Hts will forever remain in my heart. He will definitely be missed.

My sincere condolences to the family of Bob. I had the pleasure of working with him while I was employed at the Maple Heights School board office for treasurer Applebaum. He had a friendly face and demeanor to match. He will be missed as he touched so many people´s lives. Love&Prayers, Beverly Trzeciak

Dober family, My heart is sad at the loss of your father. He and your mom were so dear to The Simpson family and such great friends to our parents. I have many of his drawings and stories he wrote. I am a better person to have known him. Most sincere condolences from my siblings and I to your entire family. He will be missed, but I will treasure his memory. Sarah Simpson

Mr. Dober was one of those rare, infectious souls who lit up every room he entered. His pride in building meaningful relationships was evident in every smile, every kind word, and every genuine moment of connection he shared. He had a unique way of making people feel seen, valued, and truly special and I am so grateful for every time he made me feel just that. I know his absence leaves a deep void, but he also leaves a legacy of the value of human connection. I will carry his stories,...

My condolences to the family. I will always remember your Dad at the morning weekday Mass at St. Monica. He always made a point to say hi. I´m sure he´s ringing those church bells in heaven now.

Marcia I´m sorry to hear of your father passing. My prayers are with you and your family. Love to you all Sue Stutler and Jim Ranik (Connie´s sister)
