Robert "Bob" Michalka

My love to Lynn and her family.

Mr. Michalka was one of my favorite teachers. I loved his honesty, and that he would talk about life with us. He was always considerate. I had him for freshman biology and then my senior year I was a TA for two of his classes. He taught me how to use Excel because he used it for his gradebook. He used to take his TAs out to lunch at Rising Savor.

He was a good soul, and I'm thankful to have been one of the lives he touched.

As a fellow coach, Key Club adviser, and teacher, it was always great talking to Bob through the many years we would run into one another, whether at a Kiwanis or Key Club community service event, cross country or track & field meet, or even just as teachers. He had a great sense of humor and will be greatly missed.

Donna,
Very sorry for your loss. Bob was a great man!

Bob was one of the first teachers I met at North. He was so funny and so kind. I enjoyed seeing him on and off campus at various functions and gatherings. When he retired, I was genuinely sad to see him go, but I was happy to see him during the holidays. My heart is truly saddened by his passing. My deepest condolences to Donna and the rest of the family. Many thoughts and prayers... May God's strength and peace keep you during this very difficult time.

Donna,
Please accept my deepest sympathy to you and your family in the loss of your dear husband Bob. May God grant you peace during your time of grief. Rm. 15:33

To Bob,
I still remember our surfing trips together and that last fling camping trip to Yosemite before you left for the Air Force in '67. We only saw each other briefly a few times in the past 50 years and you were always warm and welcoming as though the years had never passed. I read the comments left by your many friends and contemporaries, you lived your life well. I'm so sorry that we have all lost you. My condolences to Donna and your entire family. May you RIP old friend.

Donna,
I was always so happy to see you and Bob together and you were a great couple and so loyal to Riverside and JW North. All my condolences and fondness.
