Bob was the best nursing home administrator I have ever met. Period. He was all business when it was called for, compassionate when it was called for, funny at all the right moments. He took our nursing home from the bottom to the top in just one year! He was a great motivator and team builder and knew how to get things done. I can never thank him enough for all he taught me. I wish there were more Bob Comptons around...we could all use one in our lives!

My sincerest condolences to Bob's family...he is leaving a big hole that will never be refilled. Treasure your memories and times together. Hold onto the good times. Be there for each other. All of us who knew him will be praying for you.

Bob was one of the best bosses I had and the first administrator to make me feel valued and appreciated. I am so heartbroken to learn about his passing.
