Bob was a pleasure to connect with at the YMCA. His generosity and love of gardening was a great gift to many. I count it as a blessing to have known and interacted with Bob. My condolences to all of his family. Your memories will keep Bob close.

LaRose and family: I was deeply saddened to read of Bob's passing. I too started as a Jr. High teacher with the Hampton City Schools in the late 60's and our paths crossed so many times over the years. Bobbie was a delightful human being of great whit ! Until the "Pandemic of 2020" we spent many days at the YMCA's water exercise program, using this time to compare notes on those educators/students that brought so much joy to our profession. (We both suffered the 'skin cancer' treatments). We have lost a good man and friend.
