He gave a lot of his time to coach. My most memorable memories were of our silent Saturday basketball games. Bob would put a terrible towel in his mouth so he would not break the silence. Fun times! RIP Bob! Love my the Greens

Bob has impacted our lives significantly. We now know the importance of being there for your children, family, and friends. Bob was so generous to others and he has left a legacy of "service." We have no doubt in my mind that he is resting in peace, watching over family and friends even now! Love and blessings to all from our family to yours.

My sincere condolences to Bob's family. I was so happy to meet his lovely wife and we all were so glad that she was able to bring him to our 40th High School Reunion. He was one of the kindest people I have ever met and I can see how he carried on his life in that manner. The sorrow is heavy but there is light in heaven and there is another angel there to watch over you all. I am sure he will live in your hearts forever and ever...
Sincerely,
Karen Tompkins Diop (WHS Class of '74)

Bob & I worked together at People's ages ago. My personal favorite memory says a lot about his character: He offered to carry me down 14 flights of stairs during a fire drill when I was unable to walk the stairs myself. My thoughts are with you. Thank you for sharing him.
