Bob was one of the most humble yet effective guidance counselors. He reached the unreachable child with tenderness and concern. Bob was my friend and I am a better person for having known Bob. My deepest sympathy to Bob's family.

April 24, 2016

My condolences. Bob was a great guy. It was a privilege for me to have him as our counselor at Nitschmann.
I am positive that he made a difference in the lives of many students. While your heart is heavy with a deep sense of loss- there must be a peace within knowing his accomplishments in life.

Regards,
Mr. Seidenberger-Assistant Principal Nitschmann
