Robert Hussey

My quadruplets and older son loved gymnastics with he and Kevin at EIU when they were all toddlers! Such a kind and gentle man!!!

Dr. Hussey, you were a great teacher and a greater human being. My family's prayers are with your family. May God grant them comfort at your passing.

Dr Hussey was an excellent role model. Starting my morning with badminton and getting to play against him once in a while and ending the evening with him calling a good square dance. He had the market cornered on enthusiasm and energy and will live on in my favorite memories of the college years at EIU class of 78.

Dear Hussey family - I just heard about Dr. Hussey's passing from my sister, Kay, who heard from Carol Schramm. There is a huge group of Pana, IL, people and old badminton players grieving with you. Dr. Hussey was famous for that "I enjoyed that match, thanks!" After he had run us all over the court. Always with a big smile. I have great memories of my 2 years at EIU - on the team and at the early morning club. What a wonderful man and coach - and family you all are. With love and prayers....

I knew Bob as his student and later as a colleague. It was a pleasure seeing Bobs enthusiasm and smiling face. He will be missed by all who knew him. We will keep you all in our prayers. Dan and Karen Bolin

Dear Hussey Family,
We are sad to hear the news. We've been neighbors for the past twenty-some years. He was very kind to us. He was a wonderful man. Our thoughts and prayers will be with your family.

To the Hussey Family,
I was very saddened to hear the news. Dr. Hussey was a wonderful teacher, coach, and person. I will always remember the great times at badminton and how he encouraged all of us to do our best. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
