One of my Dad’s best friends, Bob provided many moments of merriment to the Warry family. As an educator, he showed his love of children and staff on a daily basis with his humor, common sense and compassion. He joins his love Helen in the next world and leaves his children and grandchildren with memories of gold. Condolences. Jaye Warry on behalf of the Warry family.

Bob was the first principal that I worked for after graduating from college and was the best principal ever. You will be greatly missed.

To the Powers Family,
Your dad was one of the BEST!!! Such a great friend to my dad, Billy Winston. I remember so many beach lunches at my home with the crew, The Lynn Boys. The compliments that would flow from the guys, but especially from your dad and I would say, Bob, your giving me a bunch of blarney today!!!
I would lay out the food and go inside to do laundry and I remember the stories and the laughter that would float up through the windows.
Oh, and his hats and off Dad and your dad would go on Henry the Hatter!! Such great memories of your dad through the years. May he Rest In Peace. I know for sure The Boys were waiting for him with open arms are planning their get together to speak of the good old days.
Sending you prayers, strength and loving memories.
