Not sure what to say?

seems like only a few months ago at 84 time stand still

I will never forget Bob's contribution as he scored all the points in Miami's upset of Purdue in 1962. The town of Oxford went wild. He was like a Greek God. Just found out he passed away.

SEEMS LIKE JUST A FEW YEARS AGO TIME GOES SO FAST.BOB WAS MORE INTO SPORTS THAN I,BUT WE DID PLAY FOOTBALL ERIC CLAPP AND I AT HIS HOUSE A BLOCK AWAY , AND JR. HIGH SCHOOL. BOB IS STILL IN MY MINED AS HE WAS 17 YEARS OLD . HE WILL ALWAYS BE IN MY MEMORIES.

• Still think of you often
• Still remember the good times be it fishing, boxing, football, baseball, basketball, or whatever.
• Still look at photos of us together taken 70 years ago.
• Still miss ya!

I was very sad to hear of Bob's passing even though I have not seen nor spoke to him since 1963 when we were student athletes together at Miami University (Oxford

On 6 Jan 11, a group of about 20 Miami Alumni from Northern Nevada gathered at the sports book at John Ascuaga's Nugget to watch the godaddy.com bowl and to cheer Miami onto victory. During the half, the group stood, raised their glasses and toasted Bob, who had contributed so much to Miami football and the bowl games of the early 60s.

Dear Elizabeth, Mimi, Devon and Kary,
I would like to extend my sympathy to all of you for your loss.
Bob and I began third grade together, sixty-one years ago along with Eric Clapp. We all lived in the same neighborhood and enjoyed a very happy childhood. We all went through school together until college. Bob was a wonderful friend and very much loved throughout school in Upper Arlington.
This is a great loss to all of us who knew Bob!
My love to you all,

Bob, you will be sorely missed. Since you're up there, do you think you could
work out some kind of deal with God so the Cubs will win next year?

We adored Bob and were so lucky to consider him a really good friend, he would always have a dollar for my little girl, or a story for my teenage son who plays football as well, and idolized him. We were counting on a visit from him on the ninth of this month and are so sad to find out he has left this world. I think the thing we will remember most of all is his stories about his children and grandchildren and his love for his family. We miss you BOB! ! ! ! Missy Flaherty, Galesburg IL...
