I knew Bob from MILaca high school and played ball with him. It was a pleasure knowing him and we worked on our Masters Degrees together many years ago. The best to his family. ken noren

Bob was a delightful fellow teacher, friend and neighbor! His ready sense of humor was always appreciated, accompanied by his hearty laugh! Bob was most sensitive, pleasant and professional. We enjoyed a brief visit with him in Laverne on April 3,2006, as we were returning from California. Unfortunately we were out of state again upon his death and memorial service. Our sympathy to Helen and the family.

I enjoyed knowing and working with Bob for about 30 years. He was always a kind and gentle friend who leaves a void as he departs this earth.
