Robert Blaha

Bob Blaha owned a Volkswagen Carmen Ghia that Bob taught me to drive while I was in highschool. He graduated from Lee highschool the same year as my brother Kenneth Snyder. Bob was an older friend to me. I graduated from Lee in 1974. Bob's photographic memory for foods he ate was incredible! I'm sorry to see that he passed. I wanted to reconnect with him some time but sorry to say it never happened.
I believe his brother was John Blaha, the astronaut but I never confirmed it. Does anyone know if they were brothers?

I was sorry to hear of Robert's passing. I first met Robert at Texas A&M, where he was a student in a class I was helping teach. Just a few years later, we worked together in the NWS office in Jackson, MS. He was always calm, easy-going, and a genuine pleasure to be around.

I went to Texas A&M with Robert and attended many meteorology classes with him (Robert was TAMU class of 1976). I also worked with Robert for 7 years at the San Antonio National Weather Service Forecast Office. He was one of the most pleasant and knowledgeable people I worked with in my 33 year career with the NWS. He was also one of the nicest people I ever met. He would be so proud of the message from KKYX news (below). Til we meet again, my friend.

Prayers to the family. I met Robert several years ago at Christus Santa Rosa where he would come and swim. He always stopped by my desk and would give me forecast for the day. May he rest in peace.

Our deepest sympathies to the Blaha family. Robert was such a wonderful person. My wife and I had many great conversations with Robert on Riviera St. in Castle Hills. Jon and Donna Baros Osborne

My sincere condolences to the family. Bob was very nice, extremely smart and always helpful. We shared many years of homeroom and classes in school. A few years back we shared the same physical therapist. Another time he got the approval and took the time to talk with my nephews about schooling and everyday life in meteorology. Bob was always a person of integrity and honor. I'm thankful we all had you as a friend, you brought us all a little sunshine. You ran the race well, rest in peace and God Bless. Class of 72'

My condolences to Robert's family. I spoke with him on the phone and interviewed him for radio newscasts on many occasions over the years and he was always so helpful. He was very serious and very knowledgeable about the weather. Even though I often called when the meteorologists were extremely busy during bad weather he took the time to calmly explain what was going on without making me feel like he was inconvenienced by the interruption.

Robert was a great guy. Whenever I needed to know the weather for certain dates, he would send me the information. I remember his discussions on everything. I was always impressed that he built his own telescope. He was a great friend. Gods Speed Robert

Good guy. Fond memories all the way back to Nimitz.

So sorry to hear of Robert's passing, was glad to see him at our all class reunion, nice & sweet guy .
