BOB WAS A SPE CIAL GUY WHO I REALLY LIKED AT ST. AND RE WS CHU RCH . RICHARD COOK

Bob was sis years ahead of me in high school. He trained me as an acolyte. I wanted to emulate him. He was an informal mentor. He was a tremendous athlete and all around good person.

Bob helped us fight a tough battle to acquire property in Little Italy 20 or so years ago. In that battle We learned what a dedicated and trusted lawyer and friend he would be to us. We were honored to be invited to his home to celebrate an unforgettable Octoberfest celebration he and family hosted for friends and clients. And we would have the pleasure annually to provide him and his guests with foods for SDSU Homecoming and football games. He will be missed by all for his loyalty,...

We want to express our deepest condolences Jan. Bob was such a kind man and I am so happy I ended up in the same office and had the pleasure of knowing both of you. RIP Bob.

Dear Robert Skinner, In response from you to know more about Bob, as many people said yesterday at his service, he was a fun guy, a guy who loved jokes and fun times. Very dedicated to everything he did. As a football player he gave it everything he had, he was a linebacker as I recall and hit like a truck. It almost seemed like he was fearless in football, also rugby. Bob was a leader, but in many ways not always at the forefront, but he got things done. As a fellow baseball teammate he...

Bob and I met in Elementary School in 1951....went to Earl Warren Jr. High, then San Dieguito High School. He was a top student and a terrific football lineman. He and I both played Varsity baseball for the Mustangs. He was a strong San Diego State supporter, particular in football. Excellent real estate attorney as well. Bob and I were acolytes together at Saint Andrews Episcopal Church in the 50's...among the very first from Father/Rev. John Bogart.

Bob Prahl was my father Jack Robinson's nephew. My father's mother, Mae Harrington Robinson, was Peggy Prahl's oldest sister. Mae located at 145-3rd Street in foggy, desertlike and beachy Encinitas in the . . . thirties? Another sister, or relative, Nelle, was, I think, the first to locate in Encinitas, later living on Orpheus Avenue with her husband, pharmacist, Doc Claydon. Of course, Mae's younger brother Jack Harrington and family were there too. But sister Peggy and her husband Carl...

Our fondest farewell to a special friend, and the father our dear daughter-in-law! We will miss his gentle humor and warm demeanor. Many happy memories we have shared with Bob over the past 14 years since meeting him in San Luis Obispo. trips to Hawaii together, horse racing at Del Mar, family gatherings for holidays and baptisms..to name a few. He blessed our life with his presence. Rest in peace..

Dear Jan - So sorry to hear that Bob had passed away . I haven't seen you guys in a long time , but I well remember the old days at St. Andrews . Jo Ann & I loved you both & so did Olga .
