Regardless of the passage of nearly 60 years, Bob´s companionship and
our experiences together remain
bright and cherished whenever I think of our Peace Corps days. At our reunions his name is often mentioned. I miss him dearly. May
Peace be his.

I had the pleasure of serving in the Peace Corps with Bob from 1964 to 1966 in Sarawak, Malaysia. He was the best of companions and my closest friend sharing many adventures, experiences and good times. I was in Simanggan when his son was born and travelled with him up the Rajang river. I reconnected with him in 2015 and was anticipating
seeing him again at our reunion when he passed. Whenever I think of
Peace Corps he is foremost in my memory and will always be.

As a member of Peace Corps Malaysia 7 1964-6 I can still picture Bob during training in Hawaii carrying Carolyn McHenry over streams while hiking in the Waipio Valley.He was lighthearted-a fun guy.He has been missed at our reunions.I am sure he brought his talents as a teacher to the classroom.
