Bob Nestor was a wonderful friend and mentor to me during the time he and Peggy lived in Bakersfield. We taught together at North and West High. The Lord used his testimony to cause me to accept Jesus as my Lord and Savior. I took up running in 5k races through his example. I am thankful for his influence in my life and that of hundreds of students and friends during his lifetime on this earth. Our prayers for Peggy and the family.

Bob was a great friend and mentor to me during his time in Bakersfield. We taught together at North High and West High. His testimony to me was used by the Lord to bring me to recognize Jesus as my Lord and Savior. I took up jogging and running in 5Ks
through his example. I am thankful for his influence in my life and in the lives of many students and friends who knew him. My prayers for Peggy and the family.
