Dear Mrs. Haight, and Family,
I was saddened to hear of Bob's passing. We were in school together from Grade One through HS. I never heard anything but good comments about him. He was always smiling and kind to others. God Bless him and your family. Sincerely, Linda Horsford Radimer

Mrs. Haight and family
I was shocked to read about Bobby's passing! You may not remember me but Bobby and I dated our senior year in high school . I remember the fun times we had and how your family welcomed me into your homes. Bobby will be missed at our 50th class reunion which will be held on August 19th.
Again my condolences.

My condolences to the Haight and Leggett families. Bobby was one of those rare individuals that would do anything for a friend, and could make any situation more fun. The world is a less interesting place without him in it, but I feel fortunate to have known him as long as I did. RIP.

I didn't know Bobby all that well, but I did know he was a very great guy and very good to his companion Joann Sullivan. May he rest in peace and may his love be with his family and especially Joann.
