I have fond memories of you as my teacher. Prayers

Bob and I taught at SJHS together and he was considered a `Cool Dude!´ Enjoyed chatting in break room with him about the students we both had and life in general! My wishes for family are peace, grace and enjoy the memories of a life well lived!

My teacher for a year. My friend for a lifetime. God bless us, every one.

Bob was my 8th grade basketball coach. He was still learning to coach basketball at that time, so we spent 80% of our timing running ladders. We out ran, out hustled, out conditioned every team we just couldn´t make a basket. I loved him as a coach, he taught us discipline and not to make excuses. RIP Coach Puma!

Mr Puma was my teacher at St Joe high. He was very kind. And a very good teacher
