To Sister Kate,
The women and men of Meals on Wheels will surely miss not going to Bob's welcoming home to visit. He was a very nice man and knew a lot about the history of Harrisburg. I enjoyed spending time with him and learning about his past and about his family. His graveside service was wonderful and was well represented by his family, friends and neighbors. The time Janice and I spent with you and John at Bob Evans was very enjoyable.

I was always so happy to hear Mr. Dreese play his harmonica! He will be sadly missed!

To the family of Robert Dreese

We are sincerely sorry to hear of the passing of Robert. We hope you will find peace and strength in your faith, family and friends at this time of loss.

Would a member of the family at a later time please REGISTER Robert so he will also be honored and remembered in the HISTORICAL PRESERVATION RECORD of those who attended JOHN HARRIS HIGH SCHOOL, as he was a cherished member of the graduating Class of 1946.

Please go to...

Uncle Bob, I still have my first stuffed animal you gave me (36 years ago)he always reminds me of the love and gentle nature of you and Mary. Give her and grandpa our love.

Bob and Mary were my neighbors when I was growing up, I kept in touch with him over the years, he was a wonderful man and friend. He called me up one day and played his harmonica over the phone for me to hear, he was happy and very full of joy every time I talked to him. My sympathy is with his family.

Bob and Igrew up in the same neighborhood and kept in touch. the last I saw Bob was in June when i was visiting the Harrisburg area and He and several others from our old neighborhood met for breakfast and continued our visit at my hotel room where
Bob played for us several songs on his harmonica. i will miss our long telephone conversations with my dear friend Bob
