To our beloved Fr. Bob , you bought so much joy and happiness into our lives. We always enjoyed our visits with you. Remembering fondly out first meeting with you on our trip to Venice. What a memory to have the same wedding anniversary date with your ordination day. God bought us all together and a friendship began. You have honored the calling to be a priest of the people with grace, dignity and love. It was a blessing to us to call you our friend. All our love, Shalom, Frank & Angie

I succeeded Father Bob as Pastor at Sacred Heart. Within a week of my arrival I realized that Father Bob was loved by all people of every faith denomination in Margaretville. I knew, right off the bat, that I could never live up to the standard of love set by Father Bob who became a legend while he was still alive. He was a great Priest. Rest in Peace, Father Bob.
