Not sure what to say?

Bob is missed. We all appreciated his dedication and commitment. He was an example of excellence to everyone.

My sincere condolences to all! I have nothing but fond respectful memories of a true friend and mentor, The Chairman. Bob Godshall to those who knew him was a strong principled man, blessed with an overabundance of common sense, which enabled him to be successful in what drove him...helping others. He lived by a simple set of rules and expected such from those he dealt with...honesty and fairness! Rest in Peace my friend!

I grew up 3 driveways up from Bob's office in hatfield. I remember like yesterday how my brother and I would ride bikes in snyder's parking lot , and we would stop by Bob's office, and he would take the time to talk and laugh with us children at the time. He was a very kind man. And we got free candy everytime we stopped by. My father would always go to him for advise. And I ended up doing the same in my late teens/early 20's. He will be missed, and I send my condolences to his family.

Industrious, principled, tenacious and loyal are the adjectives that best describe Bob. He was the most effective State Representative I ever observed. I had the pleasure of his friendship and the benefit of his mentoring for 46 years. His was a life dedicated to the service of others and he will be sorely missed by those he served and befriended.

Rest In Peace dear friend. Will always cherish our friendship.

A true public servant. Bob will be missed. Our prayers and condolences are with the family.

I served with B ob for 20 years and he was a great friend and chairman i will miss him

My sympathies on your loss. In my 28 years in the PA House, I counted Bob as one of my closest friends, both legislatively (I served on Tourism Comm.) and personally (we hunted and golfed together). Even though Bob and I were of different political parties, we could always work together and trust each other.
