The memories...oh the memories. Yet you still live on inside of us, all recipients of your humor, your class, your coaching, your spirituality. Thanks coach and friend, for 50 years of memories that live on.

I first met Bob when I tagged along with a friend to his class during a break between my classes. I was hooked. As a coach/dear friend he helped all of us think bigger than we might have on our own and do things that we might not have without his belief in us. Hard to imagine a world without him in it. I would rather think that he is still living on the Big Island enjoying life, beachside with a cold beer. Love to all his family. He will be missed.

My coach and friend who had an everlasting impact on my life. May God be with you always.

It was my fortune to know and hang out with Bob a bit back in the late 70s and 80s. It was through his lovely daughter, Molly, that I got opportunity to know him. His energy and enthusiasm was boundless. One particular that really stands out was the spiritual component he brought to running. I can't say enough about this. Bob was a fitness pioneer. In closing, Bob was a true class act. He is one of those who leaves the earth with a positive impression. He made a difference. Cool guy and a...

Dearest Linda and all of Bob's family....What a joy it was to know Bob, to experience his dry humor, his love of life, his ability to find positive in everything. I'm so blessed that I had time to get to know him. And I'm super pleased that I was able to see the both of you In Hawaii - enjoying the land you love so much. Lifting a toast to Bob!!

Deepest sympathy to the family for this great loss. There is a depth of compassion felt for you. The loving kindness of GOD can sustain you through this difficult time. May you have a measure of comfort sharing the cherished memories that are in your hearts and in knowing that your love one is not in distress.

Linda and family: Oh what sweet, happy memories I have of coach Bob. There are several influences in my fitness life and Bob is one of them. His positive outlook on life and all things healthy has been a foundation for my profession and outlook on life in general. Love to you.

Well, Doc, I'll buy you a drink.

Just one.
