May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. It was my great pleasure to work with Robert Decatur at Ridgeview back in the mid 70's. He would have to be one of the best school principals to work for. Just the type of person that you would want to do your best for. I remember that the staff would affectionately refer to him as 'RD'(how he signed his memos). One of the last time I saw him was some years when I visited him and his wife down in Clearwater. Then I saw him again at CHS a few years ago during the H of Fame ceremony.

Dear Decatur Family,
As a student I have never forgotten Mr. Decatur the teacher. His great positive impact is felt today though out the world.
He and his entire family are in my prayers.

Dear Decatur Family,
It was with great sorrow that I learned of your husband and father's passing. He was an outstanding principal, and I enjoyed working for him at Centennial High School. He was an inspiration to me as a teacher.
Please accept my deepest sympathy.
