Robert John Kretschmann

I worked with Bob at Rockwell Automation. He was a very kind and intelligent human being. RIP Bob!

I met Bob when he came to work at Lorain Products. We shared a lab. Our paths would cross at Rockwell and Lakeside as well. Always a pleasure to see him up at the lake and catch up. Jim & Gail

It was a pleasure and honor working with Bob at IEC meetings. He was a very nice and humorous person I've ever met. Sending our prayers to Bob. And you will be missed. Rest In Peace.

What a delightful neighbor. Always willing to lend a hand, and to consult on woodworking projects. He was the kind of person that you are proud to say, "he was my friend." An engineer that loved to solve a problem, and never one to cause an issue. Everyone should have a neighbor and friend like Bob.

Working with Bob was a great joy. He treated everyone with respect and was never patronizing all the while being an exceptional engineer. Rest in peace Bob.

Dear Kate, Christy, Hans & Jeremy, I am so sorry to learn the Bob is gone but know that you will cherish your memories forever. Bob was truly one of the loveliest men I ever met, and I will always remember your wedding, the birth of the children, working on the Bay Village houses, enjoying the sun over the yardarm in Lakeside, the trip to the UK, the Upstairs/Downstairs finale, and on and on. Peace and happiness to you all.

I worked with Bob and he was wonderful person to be around. Bob always made time to talk with people and help so many people with their careers. Many people at Rockwell were deeply sadden when we heard about Bob.

Sorry to hear about Bob's illness less than a year ago and now his passing. He was gracious and a bridger; filling in the gaps between misunderstandings or differences of opinion. This helped quite a bit in the standards' meetings I attended with him. He loved people and it was interesting to see how many flock to him when meeting with international guests. He will be missed. My sympathies to all who knew him.

I am sorry for the loss of Bob. Your family is in my prayers. May Bob rest in peace.
