Robert Bain Donaldson Jr.

He was a longtime friend who lived a life aimed at making the community a better place!

On this anniversary of Bob's passing I welcome an opportunity to once again sing Bob's praises as someone who worked closely with Bob over the years in County Government. Bob was someone whose advice was always well thought out and could bring to the forefront the history of every decision as someone who was there through much of the history. He was a true public servant in his role as Planning Director for the County and in his role with other planners in all municipalities throughout...

Bob was a great friend, who I knew for nearly fifty at our White Deer Club. May he catch the big ones in the hereafter!

Sending my sincere condolences to Bob's family. I began my journey in County Government 9 years after Bob started there and from day one I so valued Bob's guidance and knowledge on all matters. Sharing Bob's value system as fellow members of St. Paul's Methodist Church, I always knew Bob's advice would be well thought out and could be followed without uncertainty. Beginning in the administration side and after that as an elected official for 12 years I saw how Boards of Commissioners...

I sat along side of Bob for many years as members of the Centre County Historical Society´s Board of Directors. We also spent time together hiking in Spring Creek Canyon. He was a wealth of knowledge and made tremendous contributions to the community on so many levels. I will miss him. Bob Hazelton

Deb and Sue. I am so sad with the passing of your father and my friend Bob. I will miss him as I know you will; we can all relish the memories we shared with him on our journeys. Blessings, Sandi

It was my good fortune to interact with Bob over many years in his capacity as Centre County planning director. He was a stalwart guardian of the interests of Centre County residents, and a real gentleman as well. His activities in the conservation community helped preserve the character of the county.

I had the opportunity to work with Mr. Donaldson when I was employed by local government for 12 years. He was always very kind, patient, and professional. I knew I could always go to him with my questions and he would take the time to listen. It was a pleasure to have known him.

My sincere sympathies to Bob´s family! May your memories bring you comfort in your loss!!!
