Robert STEELE

Dearest Diane, Matt, Marie, Joan, and spouses,

Just received your letter, Diane, and I can't tell you how deeply saddened I am. Bob was a great light in your lives and the love you all have for him is so palpable in your eulogy, Matt. I remember Bob as a man of enthusiasm, compassion, and hospitality. Serious or funny, it was great to be around him, going back almost 40 years ago.
You are all held in my heart and prayers as you grieve, and I join you in the great chorus of...

Dear Diane and all the beautiful family of Bob, grace and peace! I just wanted to take this more public way to give testimony about the great man of God, Bob, whom I have come to know, love and respect so very, very much in these last years since we have reconnected. Today is the feast of St. Therese of the Child Jesus who taught the "little way": doing countless acts of love, goodness, kindness and faithfulness with a quite, holy grace. In my experience of Bob and Diane, it is hard to...

Jenny and I are so sorry to about your loss. We both enjoyed talking with Bob and hearing about your adventures.

We remember BOB from thedays he was at Monroe,and used to come visit our house, when lots of the other students did. In fact,he was,I think, one of Palmer's tutors when Palmer broke his thigh and had FJMS STUDENTS TO GIVE HIM HOME CLASSES.
BOB WAS SO FRIENDLY,AND LIKEABLE,,AND SO VERY POLITE. WE SHALL KEEP HIM, AND HIS FAMILY, IN OUR PRAYERS. JEAN CAMM.

I have fond memories of Bob from FJMS in Monroe, VA. There is not a negative thought that comes to my head when I remember him. He is missed. May he rest in peace. He left too early.

Dear Diane,

I was so sorry to hear of Bob's passing. I remember Bob so fondly. I remember his kindness and friendliness. I never heard a harsh or unkind word from him. He will truly be missed. May God bless and hold you and yours in his hands. With love and prayer, Jim Murphy (Trinitarian Alumni)

Dear Diane,
We are saddened to hear of your sudden loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
May the comfort of God help you during this difficult time

Bob was a wonderful person-full of life and happiness. In his next destination, the team there will have a wonderfully wacky clean up hitter. We love and miss you Bob.

Diane, I am so sad to learn of your sudden loss. I will always remember Bob for his easy and crazy laugh, and his gushing, childlike joy and enthusiam for everything. Thank you for inspiring and organizing the 2004 Trinitarian alumni gathering in Holy Trinity--we now have a vibrant email group and true alumni community as a result. Thank you for putting up me an Robbie and Kayo Sato of Japan when we were unexpectedly "homeless" in Cincinnati on a dark and raining evening after seeing...
