Robert William McLean

Bob would help anyone who needed it , No matter the Circumstances. A true " Heart of Gold " sorta Guy. Very much missed. I think - Gone too soon.

I met Bob in 2000, the first year of the Syracuse Nationals car show where he was public relations director and I was the PA announcer.

I only learned of his passing well after the fact, and am grateful for this opportunity to remember him here. RIP Colonel, Semper Fi!

Hi family! My name is Tom Marriott. I just learned of Bob death. I have known Bob since I was a young boy. He was just an outstanding man. I wrestled in high school and college.. Bob followed my career in college. He came and saw me at East Carolina University, when he was stationed at Camp Lejeune. I cared for Bobby very much. Bob was top self a great person . Thank you :)

I only learned of Bob´s passing a couple days ago. Bob and I became good friends during our time with the Syracuse Nationals, and to say I was shocked at this news would be an understatement. RIP Colonel. You will be missed.

Sending my heartfelt condolences and prayers to Bob´s family! Bob led a life well lived and has left a powerful legacy. Florence Bonfardeci Sadler Herkimer Class of `68
