Bob was a dear friend. I sent him a birthday wish today only to find it was not delivered. I had not heard he passed and my heart is broken. Bob worked tirelessly on my husband´s campaign for the school board, and our friendship grew from there. We worked on the YES program together and I was able to witness his passion for teaching all kids. We used to take walks together and I would hear many tales of his adventures with his beloved Ruby. He missed her so much. When I was diagnosed with cancer, he was one of the first I told and we stood in his driveway and cried together. He always had uplifting advice. I will miss him terribly. Please contact me about his services.

Bob entered my life 25 years ago when he brought his mentoring program to my office at JF Burns Elementary. He had already gotten this YES( Youth Education Success) program going in the junior high school. At one point the KLSD school board provided stipends to the facilitators of a YES program in all schools in the district. Bob was dedicated to helping students see the value of an education and supporting their educational growth and self-confidence.
I will miss him so much. We could sit and talk and before we knew it several hours had passed. Bob was a great friend and supported me through some difficult times with his most thoughtful words of wisdom and kindness.
The ray of light in his passing is that he is now with his beloved Ruby.
I hope to hear about his celebration of life.

Bob was a great friend to me. He was always dedicated to helping the youth who were struggling in school through the YES (Youth Education Success Program) he started in a few local school districts. He was such a great listener.
I am so saddened that I was not in touch with him more recently.
He also touched my son´s life in many positive ways.
I too will miss our meals at Skyline and other times we had some very long talks.
I will miss you, my good friend.
The ray of light in our loss is that Bob is finally with his beloved Ruby.

I am so sorry to hear that Bob has passed, and my heart goes out to Rylinn and the rest of the family. Bob was a genuine and thoughtful man, and I know he will be missed. I had the honor of bowling with Bob (a testament to his sense of humor and bravery), and always loved conversations with him.
Bob initiated a student-to-student mentor program at Kings Schools, in which my own daughter participated, and always sought an opportunity to help and encourage others. I'm grateful to have known him.

I was so sorry to hear of Bob's death. Many memories as a child visiting with him and family in Cincinnati. He was always friendly and kind. I remember he and my dad would play chess by mail - and still think about how wonderful that was! Thinking of his kids & grandkids. Kathleen Daly

Sure going to miss you!! You were the best uncle and friend to me... loved getting together all those times for lunch at Skyline sharing stories and memories. You made friends everywhere you went, leaving a mark on this world with your genius ideas and hard work: from getting the chickens ready for the butcher shop as a kid in Madeira to setting up cell towers all across the country and over in Europe..you are a legend in the cell phone world.. Bob, Theresa, and Rylinn, your dad's troubles are over and at peace now. Bless his heart. He was so proud of you and his grandkids. God bless you Uncle Bob.. Will love you forever, Donna

Bob was always lively and curious. During my childhood, I spent many holidays and a trip to Mexico with Bob -and enjoyed his company. My dad always played chess via mail with Bob. And I am not talking email-this was decades ago!
Bob will be missed.
