Bob always met me with a shining smile on the bike path when he was walking with his lovely wife. Like a true runner, he would alert me to the upcoming patches of ice. I'll always think of him and Tom when I'm out running. They were royalty--in running and in spirit. My condolences to the family.

My most sincere condolences and prayers to the Bob Antle family. I have the pleasure to know Bob since my arrival to Ohio University in 1971as Head Athletic Trainer. Bob along with others in the Physical Plant played a very important role to modernize the Athletic Training Rooms in order to provide excellent care services for Ohio University student athletes. For Bob's services I was so appreciative over those years until my retirement in 1997. I always said that those in the Physical Plant "cared". RIP Bob!

We send our most heartfelt condolences to the entire Antle family. We love Bob and will miss him until we meet again in Gloryland. He was a great Sunday School teacher for our adult class. We loved his many odes (what great wit!) and his sense of humor. Bob will be remembered as a humble servant of God, as well as a fellow former employee of Ohio U. You all are in our prayers during this most difficult time.
