Robert B. "Bob" Gaskins

He was a very good teacher and a great man. I just wish I had listened to him more.

He added a great deal to my life as a student. He mentored a lot os people and will be missed.

As my first clarinet teacher, Mr. Gaskins was a major influence in my life, as I'm sure he was in many lives. I was sorry to hear of his passing. He will be missed.

HE WAS THE BEST OF ALL OF THEM

Bob was an instructor at MCAS New River, when I was Program Coordinator for Campbell University. The instructors were a small, tight group that were student centered, and Bob taught Music Appreciation for us for several years. A fine man. Condolences to his family.

Oh, what a delight it was for me to meet and spend time in the presence of Mr. Bob Gaskins. It was shortly after we had integrated high school that I not only came in contact with Mr. Gaskins , but I was able to become to know him as a loving sharing man who seem to not only love music, but also love people regardless of who they were. Now that I have lived life I know that it was through his music that he introduced many of us to Christ. I loved my time in the choir and band, but most of all...

I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Mr. Gaskins. He was a great influence to me and a wonderful mentor during my years at JHS and in the various components of the band.

This wonderful person was my introduction to the flute and was an amazing teacher. When he smiled, you knew you did good, and you were always striving for that smile. He made such a difference in so many people's lives. To this day, at the age of 43, I still play my flute. Hewas a lovely person and will be missed.

Dear Brenda and Rick. So sorry for the passing of your Dad. He sounded like such a great man. Know that he is an angel now and will be watching over you from heaven. Gena, Tommy, Lexi and Madeline.
