Not sure what to say?

I´m so sorry to hear of Bob´s passing. He was supportive and active in our local Webb alumni events. I enjoyed hearing his stories from the old Webb campus and the search for the "new" one. I´ll miss his smile and hearty laugh. :-)

Sorry to hear about your loss. You know that God and Jesus are in the best position to comfort us when we lose a loved one in death.

Bob was one of the most kind, warm and engaging men I knew. Bob always had an infectious smile and friendly attitude. I loved seeing him at St. Andrew's. I will truly miss Bob as will all. Heaven is a better place with him.

It had been years . . . nonetheless, seeing the beaming countenance of Bob Kelly, figuratively flooded: yesterday once more. Such was the richness of his friendship.

Heartfelt condolences to the Kelly family on the homegoing of this so very estimable man.

I have never heard of or known a man of such broad accomplishment. I understand that Einstein said of Ghandi "It is hard to believe that such a man walked the earth." But we all know that he did, those fortunate enough to have known Bob.
I remember Bob as the friendliest most out going person I have ever met and I'm sure that many others feel the same way too.
I had no idea about his supreme accomplishments in science and engineering...

May the love of God, friends and family carry you through your grief. I am sorry to hear of your loss. Please accept my condolences. 2nd Thessalonians 2:15, 16.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
