Not sure what to say?

With many memories, my sympathy

Senator Venables was a great person. His honesty and dedication to help people was so appreciated. He did so much for Sussex County. He initiated state funding for many needed Sussex projects that will help many for many years. We will miss him. God Bless the Venables family

To the family, I share in your loss. Laurel has again lost one of those that truly cared about his community and his passion will be greatly missed!

Bob Venables was truly passionate about saving natural places for families could enjoy recreation together. Trap Pond State Park is an outstanding example of that passion. I was honored to have worked with him during my time with DNREC's Parks and Recreation.

We have lost a giant of a man. Condolences to all of us who knew him and loved him.

I had the pleasure of serving with Bob Venables in the Delaware State Senate for 20 years Bob was a caring man, Amanda of his word, conservative in his views, and respected by all . It was an honor to serve & know him. I extend my deepest sympathies and May God comfort and heal his family and friends John Still
