He and Doris came for brunch once while visiting Scott and Maureen and the girls in Fresno. He was warm and funny. Our prayers are with the family for peace.

Doris and family, I am so sorry to hear of Bob's passing. May he rest in peace with no more pain and suffering. He is in Great hands now. Prayers to all of you. I worked with him many years at Pitts where we both were teaching in the gym with the other three gym teachers. He made ours days so much better with his presence and his personality.
God bless all of you. Jodean Guay

Bob was more than a friend. He was family. From church gatherings to lunch at Dew Drop. From camping at Blue Mesa to Mexico. Wintering in Yuma & visiting at home. We loved him. Rest in peace Bob. We will meet you again. Larry & Carolynn
