Glad I got to re-connect with "Waz" in August 2022. Hadn´t seen him since 1963. We were friends in elementary school at Southampton Schools.

We purchased a beautiful home in South Allentown from Bob and Brenda. Gosh ! Bob literally dug out a crawl space under the original kitchen to insulate the floor of the kitchen.

We managed to have them back to
the home after the purchase and remained in contact with them for many years after the purchase.

God bless Bob. Thanks for your service. Your finger prints will always be on the property 2447 South Fifth St.

Rest in peace Bob.

Dear Brenda, while our paths have crossed few times since our high school days, I am so sorry that Bob has left us. He lived life to the fullest, and I hope that gives you some solace. Sending you hugs and prayers. May you find peace as you grieve your loss.

Bob and I were high school classmates, graduating in 1968 from Northwestern. We recently reconnected. Think of Bob with fondness and a joy to know.

"A soldier has passed away today." You have made your final flight into the LZ. You are now relieved from your post. A job well done fellow Vietnam Veteran. America thanks you for your service to our country in the defense of freedom. We all are grateful for your stepping up to the plate when your country needed you the most. The final bugle has sounded and taps is about to sound ending a successful career as a nation´s defender. Farewell fellow veteran. A Navy Vietnam Veteran.

I am so sorry for your loss. I remember Bob from the early days of Mack trucks and the World Headquarters when they had an aviation team . I had worked in the lobby and knew all of the professional pilots and Bob was one of them. He was such a nice young man and wore his Mack truck pin proudly. May he rest in peace.

God bless him and your family.
