I really loved taking care of Mr. Soptic as I was blessed to have taken care of him at two different hospitals. I thought a lot of him and was sad to hear he had passed. He was the kindest man from the moment I met him. I know he is not hurting any more and know that he made a lasting mark on my heart.

I am so sad that John and I missed Bob's funeral. Bob was one of the most caring individuals I have ever met. When I first started teaching at St. Agnes, his and Rose's friendship was such a comfort to a nervous new teacher. His friendship over the years was a joy and an example of how people should be treated! It is obvious that our world is a better place because of Bob.

Mr. Soptic was such a great man. I went to St. Agnes, where he was a substitute teacher for a long time. My favorite memory of him is that when one of us in class would ask to use the restroom, he wouldnt let them go unless they said May I use the restroom as opposed to Can I use the restroom. If we said can I, he would poke fun at us and say, I dont know, can you? Mr. Soptic was such a funny, kind, endearing, and selfless man who was greatly appreciated by many. He was so loved and will be dearly missed. Prayers for his family and friends, especially friends in the St. Agnes Community.

My prayers go out to you and your family at the passing of Bob. I had the privilege of working with him at Hillcrest Junior High and SM North. I will always remember him teaching my world geography students how to polka during our cultural fair. What fun! At North, he was so helpful to all the students he worked with. We always looked forward to his shoe drive for his charity. He was so kind and helpful to me and my students. God bless you all at this sad time.

Mr. Soptic was one of the best teachers at St. Joe high school. He and Mrs. Soptic were very special people. So glad the class of 66 got to be with them at our 50th reunion. He will be missed.

We met Rose and Bob a few years ago, and immediately, we felt we had known them for many. He was such a genuine nice guy. We will miss him greatly, whenever we are in Kansas City area. We know he is with God now and always, looking out for us. Our thoughts and prayers are with you Rose, and family. God be with you always.

We will truly miss Bob. He was the ultimate neighbor, friend and father substitute for us. In our over 30 years of being his neighbor, he helped us with countless tasks and through several crises. He made us feel a part of his family. We will take care of Rose for you, Bob.
