To Bob's Family,



May God comfort you during this time. Bob worked with me at Northwood Middle School. He always had a smile on his face. His laughter still fills the halls. He will be missed by many.

To Bettye and Family,



I am gratefull for the 5 years that I have known Bob. In a very short time he had become a very good friend. From the times we spent playing golf or just talking to each other about life situations I felt close to him.

I remember when he first became supervisor, the amount of laughter that reverberated through the building. He just knew how to make you laugh, but also he was a high energy person.

I will miss him dearly and as Jonathan told David in the book of I Samuel, He shall be missed, because his seat is empty.

Bettye, I have you in my prayers that God will comfort you, strengthen you and give you peace that is sufficient to carry you through this time.
