Not sure what to say?

I have many beautiful memories of
Bob from when we were both members
of Trinity Lutheran Church in
Wernersville. We had many enjoyable religious conversations
together. I was pleased when I
heard he had become a minister. He
had so much to give and he gave it
all.

My thoughts and prayers are with
you Jeanette and with your family.

John knew Bob while both grew up in Sinking Spring. Pat met Bob and his family when she became a member of Trinty Lutheran in Wernersville in the early 70's. Bob was very inspirational. Our hearts go out to Jeannette, Michell, Michael, Jonathan & Jarod. You have your memories and God and our prayers for you.

We met Bob and Jeanette as two newlywed couples when Bruce and Bob worked for WRAW in 1964. No matter how many years or miles separated us, we considered them our dearest friends. We will miss him desperately. We are so glad he got to fulfill his need and desire to become a pastor, and we know he is now in the hands of the Lord. Our prayers go out to Jeanette, Michelle, Michael, and Jared. All our love....

Although I only knew Pastor Bob a few years, my family and I will miss him very deeply. His first funeral as pastor was for my grandfather when he passed away, and I learned so much from him on how to deal with grieving families, and how to be a better person, especially during difficult times. Being a musician myself, I could relate to him. He was one of the main reasons I joined St. Luke's Church, and I always felt that he was accepting of me, no matter what flaws I have as a person.

My deepest sympathy to the family. I remeber listing to Boddy Bob on the radio as a kid at my Grandmother house. On Wraw. He was always happy. My thoughts and prayers go out to you. God bless you. I was surprized when I saw it in the paper on Sunday. I also listen to Wrfy and Wiov. Always chipper.

Jeanette, Michele and family and Michael:
We are deeply saddened to hear of Bob's passing. He is now in the arms of his dear Saviour, suffering no more! Bob was my cousin as well as a friend. We shared many family memories at the get-togethers and reunions held throughout the county. Bob will be missed but his legacy will live on! He touched many lives throughout his life. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Jeanette, Michelle, Jonathan, Jarod and Michael.

I was lucky enough to work as Bob's on-air partner for four years at WRAW. I always admired how he carried his faith in everyday life - just by being honest, fair and considerate of others, a genuine "good guy". His breed of human being is rare. His personal and professional legacy will always be with us. He cannot be replaced. (JW)

I am deeply saddened to hear about Bob's passing. Bob was the consummate broadcasting professional and was always a source of help and inspiration to those of us who worked in radio with him. My prayers are with Jeanette and the rest of Bob's family.

Bobby was my brother....or the closest thing I had to one...so many memories....he will be missed...
