Dear Rathbone Family,

Bob was a warm, sincere and fun man. I always enjoyed his good nature and stories about his family. He was so proud of you and so kind to us and our kids over the last 20 years. We will miss him. With love, The Justers

Dear Bonnie, Janet and family,

How sorry we were to hear that you lost your dear Bob. We would like to express our deepest sympathy to all of you. We did enjoy being in his company. We still have the Christmas stockings with our names on them that he gave to us so many years ago. We will also remember his witty sense of humor and his smile that lit up the room.

Our love and prayers...

My memories of Bob as a former University School student and a first class lifeguard at Chagrin Valley Country Club so many years ago, are many of the same stated in the other entries. I remember him as fun-loving, funny and a generally "good guy" My sister Casey and I spent many a summer afternoon with "Bones" at the pool. God bless you, Bob"

Bob will be dearly missed at CSC - he always had a smile on his face and a cheery hello to each of us by name! A real sweetheart....

Bob was so kind to everyone. We will miss him very much. Our sympathies go to his family.

We are deeply saddened by the loss of Bob. He was remarkable in his ability to carry on. It was such a pleasure to see his kind smile in the lounge at the Skating Club. He was one in a million and we will miss him. Our sympathy to Janet and his family.

Hi Janet, Bonnie, Debbie & Bobby:
We send our very sincerest love to you! We are among the very priviledged who were fortunate enough to know Bob and your special family! God Bless You and Keep You! Much Love, Jerri Bowe

Bonnie and all the Rathbone Family,

Words are escaping me right now (how incredibly rare). I am so sorry for your loss, this is such a difficult time. But it is comforting to know he is finally free of pain and can watch all your fun from up above. You are such a great team, I love you all and it has been so great to be a part of your family. There are so many great memories of your Dad, husband, Grandpa, brother, Uncle. Stay strong as you always do. Brighter days are ahead. ...

Dear Bonnie, Charlie & Travis.

Our thoughts and best wishes are with you at this sad time. Thinking of you.
