Robert M. "Bob" Stanton

Thinking of the Stanton family at this time. Lots of great memories as part of the Bayville family back in the 80s. It was like having our own little piece of heaven there in Virginia Beach. Brian Dodge (former herdsman), just let us know of Bob's passing. Our condolences to Eleanor and the rest of the family.

I did not know him well. In my brief dealings with Mr. Stanton during my term as Chair of the ODU Williams Center for Real Estate, he always made me feel at ease. No matter how successful and accomplished, it was always about making ODU´s real estate program better, never about Mr. Stanton himself. I will never forget that.

While I was Bob's assistant for only a short time I deeply cared for him and so enjoyed our time together. He always brought such delight to my day and humor to the workplace. I enjoyed looking for his keys and planting a tracker in his wallet so he could find it in this closet of which he would always call and congratulate me on sticking that "loud beeping thing" in his wallet. He was charming, kind, and humble. I am so sorry for the family and their loss as well as the entire Hampton...

So sorry for your loss.

It was with sadness that I learned of Bob´s passing. My heartfelt condolences are extended to his family. I have had the good fortune of knowing Bob since the 1960´s when we were presidents of two of the largest Jaycee chapters in Virginia. I have admired him ever since for his commitment to community service and for his business acumen and successes. His family is in my thoughts and prayers as I pray they are being sustained in a special way by God´s abiding love.

My sincerest condolences to his family.
