Robert Lee "Bob" McConnell

Seeing Bob's obituary brought many fond memories of our friendship with he and his wife, Marilyn. They were our neighbors when we all lived on Pavillion Place in Newport News. We enjoyed dinners, boating, crabbing, etc. Bob especially liked my beans and cornbread. He would end up too full to sit. We left the area and lost contact but the good memories remained. Our heartfelt sympathy to his family.

Our prayers are with your family.

To the McConnell family,

It is with heartfelt sadness that I learned of Bob's passing. Bob and I worked together at Bruton High School for many years. It was a privilege to have known him so well, and I will never forget his thoughtfulness and kindness.
With great personal sorrow, I share your loss and extend my heartfelt sympathy.

Sincerely,
Rosa L. James-Alston
Former Librarian of BHS

Thank you Coach Mac for your words of wisdom and encouragement. Always a pat on the back and kind but firm guidance when I made mistakes. You are loved and missed. Bruton HS 1987: football, track, and basketball.

Condolences to his family. Please know that Coach Mac was a greatly admired and respected coach, teacher, athletic director and friend. Bruton and Grafton High Schools had the privilege and honor of having him as the first AD for each of the schools. He developed programs at both schools that continue to represent his legacy. He touched so many peoples lives and will always be remembered for his witty humor. I have no doubt that he will continue to fondly look upon York, Bruton and...

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

Mr McConnell you were one of my favorite teachers at York High School. You'll be missed. Deepest sympathies to your family.
