Robert Lapsley

Kim and family love and prayers are with.

I was hired by Mr. Lapsley in 1978 as secretary. He gave me my first secretarial position. He was a great boss and he treated everyone respectfully. You have my deepest sympathy. Diana Carter

Bob is and will always be my mentor. His lessons have seen me through so many life challenges. He will live on in others, because he touched so many. It was such a privilege to be apart of both Bob and Diane's life. God Bless

My heartfelt condolences. I remember Mr. Lapsley and his support of Mrs. Sadie D. Steele in her volunteer work with GIVs.

Diane-Mike and I send our heartfelt condolences. Bob was a great man that was full of compassion and with a great desire to serve. I remember the first time that we worked together with The Lions Lighthouse Mobile Eye Clinic at The Salvation Army. His influence has been an encouragement to me and I know countless others. His memory will live on. We have and will be praying for you and the family.

The years have flown by. It was my privilege to have Bob as a Goodwill colleague. It is difficult to believe it has been 17 years since he left Goodwill. He was missed then and will leave a void.

Diane and Family:

It was my privilege to call Bob Colleague. We shared time and commitment to others through our roles of CEO of our local Goodwill. I know his leadership transformed the lives of countless men and women with disabilities. As Big Love requires Big Grief, Peg and I wish you all God's Good Grief as you celebrate a life well lived and service above self. Rev Don and Peg Roberts

I was Mr. Lapsley's secretary at Goodwill from 1990-1993, and I still remember how pleasant it was to work for him (and his terrific sense of humor). Diane and family, you are in my prayers. Denise (Gaydosh) Oberlin

I knew Bob when I worked with the Voluntary Action Center and later the United Way in Savannah in the 1980's. He was an exceptional community leader and a delight with whom to work. Handsome, kindly, and hard working....a stellar combination. My sincere condolences to his family.

Thoughts and Prayers are with you Diane

In times of pain
It's hard to hold back the rain
In times of sorrow
From God's strength you need to borrow

Pain and Sorrow
When a loved one has passed on
In God's hands Bob will find another tomorrow
And with Diane and countless people
Bob's character touched
His memory will live on and on

Diane,

Bob was my dearest friend. The times that we spent together are now more special than ever. May the Good Lord Bless, keep, and comfort Diane . I love you my brother, Rest in peace.

Even though I did not know Mr Lapsley I wanted to express my gratitude for all he has done for Goodwill Savannah and Teleride. I grew up here in Savannah and have seen the progress of Goodwill. He definitely made a difference here. May God watch over your family.
