Dear Rosmary,
I was saddened to read of Bob's death. I worked with Bob as part of the Student Activities Board at Carthage College and also on his night managers staff of the student union during the years of 1974-78. He was a great boss,big brother,dad-on-the spot and a kind and loyal friend. I could always count on Bob to help me laugh at all the little "wrinkles" life would toss my way. Memories with Bob still make me laugh and I know my college life wouldn't have been the same without him. I spent some time as well babysitting Billy, Kimmy and Jenny as they were growing up. Please extend my sympathies to them. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Rosemary and Family,
It has been a number of years since working with Bob at ECC, but I have always held fond memories of the time we spent in the Corporate Development office. Bob was an exceptional man, both professionally and as a friend. My sincere sympathy for your untimely loss and my prayers for the difficult days ahead.

Dear Rosemary and Family,
I was lucky enough to have had Bob as a Big Brother during my childhood through the Big Brothers, Big Sisters program. During our time together, I was able to make wonderful memories with Bob and learned a great deal.

Always looking out for me and always willing to have a heart to heart chat whenever I needed to. He made each workday a breeze and such a joy. We had a lot of laughs. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Love, Kathy Bayler

Dear Paul, Faye and family:
We were stunned to hear of Bob's quick passing. We enjoyed our brief visits, both at the Kiwanis luncheons and at Faith church, when he joined you in worship.
Please accept our deepest sympathy. We pray that fond memories of life together with Bob will sustain you at this time.
Most sincerely,
