It´s been a little while due to Covid distractions, but I usually catch up on Bob from afar. I was Bob´s nurse for many years at St. Joseph´s. He was the delight and bright spot in my 12 hour shifts and I´ll never forget his friendly banter and optimism. We shared many quiet moments in conversation in the middle of the night when he couldn´t sleep and celebrated when his counts finally improved to get discharged.
Over the years, we became good friends and for a time, he was like a father figure to me with his sage guidance and advice delivered in typical Bob style... over lunch at The Club or Ruth´s.
It´s been several years since we last caught up with each other and my heart is sad to hear of his passing. Sadder that I didn´t see him before. I am grateful to have known him and for our friendship. He was such an honorable man, and spoke often of his kids, you surely know how much he loved each of you.
Sending condolences and my love.

To: Robert and the entire Nagel Family,
I was truly sadden to learn of the passing of Mr. Bob. I never got to meet him personally but I feel that I know a little about him, that he was kind, generous, and a pleasant man. Over the past years Mr. Bob and I connected with each other thru phone conversations. At the end of our conversation he would leave me with a smile on my face. I would send him birthday cards and Christmas cards. I kept up with him and his medical condition/hospitalization thru his son Robert. His memory will live on forever in my heart as well as yours. Now each of you have to love on one another and take care of each other because he would want you to.

Dad was one of a kind. From coaching me in softball to coming to every soccer game I ever had, he was dedicated to his children - and his clients. He was a bird dog in finding land and helped many apartment developers raise their profits. He never met a stranger. Just like my brother Robert, he will talk to about anyone and can relate to about anyone. He loved to drive around looking for land with his Redman tobacco and a coke. He absolutely loved butter and salt and would often sprinkle salt on his hand and lick it off. He drove like a crazy man, which is where I get it thank you very much. I will miss his spirit. I wish we could go get a frosty just one more time.

I worked with Bob at Nagel & Co. for 12 years and we were friends for over 30 years. I always loved his sense of humor and admired his work ethic. He will be sorely missed. Sympathy to his family.

Will miss Bob and his search for the truth, and honesty. A good man and friend. Met as student at Auburn. Worked with him at his real estate company.

I first met Bob in the Winter of 2006 in the lobby of the big tax firm I had recently joined. He wore a sport coat and baseball type cap which I learned was his standard uniform. He also wore a scowl. I wasn't sure if it was meant for me or for the subject of our meeting, ie taxes. It was not me. From that very first meeting, Bob and I seemed to hit it off. In fact, when I opened my own firm, Bob was one of my big firm clients that sought me out. He introduced me to Avery and then to Kathleen, the other members of his advisory team. I greatly appreciated the trust he placed in me. Whether we were meeting at the Waffle House or the club, he always greeted me with that patented genuine Bob Nagle smile that always made me feel that he was glad to see me. He frequently asked me about my son, Ethan. As our friendship deepened, he shared with me more than just tax stuff. He shared his ups and downs, observations about a plethora of issues, and his devotion to his children. He deeply cared for all of them.
Bob was a bit of a workaholic, dedicated to his real estate business, and had deeply held convictions, He seemed to know everybody that was anybody in Atlanta. He loved baseball and Auburn; he also regaled me with stories from his past that from time to time seemed to take on a life of their own but were always entertaining. I was greatly honored to have known him and to call him a friend.
My deepest sympathies to his children and grandchildren.

Well, it has been a long time coming, but bob finally tired put. He had been dealing with a blood disease for 30 years and he is in a better place.
He was a man of principle and honored his word as best he could. We will miss him but will try and carry on his legacy of hard work, perseverance and trustworthiness.
He loved his friends and we know he has impacted so many of them.

Thank you for being a great dad. Thanks for being the best man at my wedding, always there when we needed you. So many great memories of Auburn Games, baseball games, and spending time together. We love you.

We were so sorry to see that Bob had passed away although we were aware that he had a serious blood condition that required transfusions.He was a real character and very likable.We both went to Auburn (API) with Bob and he was an ATO with Jerry. We saw him mostly when he lived in our community and had children who went to Lakeside as did ours. We only met Tom but want to express our sympathy to all of the children and to Helen who remained friends with Bob through the years.
