Phil and Diane, I am so sorry for your loss. Your father has always been there for you and his passing will leave a hole that no one else can fill. They say that time will ease your pain, but in the meantime, please know that I will be thinking of you and wishing you peace of mind.

Margie and family, I just wanted to let you know I was thinking of you and praying for peace. Bob was a special guy and been friends of our family since he and my Dad were in their twenties playing golf and then coaching me through the years. May your memories keep his spirit with you for many years to come as he will be missed.

I remember Coach Brohm´s smile and how he led our St. Bernard 7th and 8th grade softball A-team to claim the 1976 city championship trophy.

We have many special memories of Bob. He was truly a kind, caring, giving man. He will be missed dearly, and remembered always. He was going to play golf with Gene one day at Shawnee Golf course (Gene driving) and when they got to the split on I-64, Gene veered Lft, and Bob , yelled out "no keep straight " Bob thought he was going to the Casino, Ha.

I am deeply sorry for the families loss. The world lost a truly great man. Not only his friendship with my father through the years, but the molding and developing champions through sports. I cherish the days spent on the field and court with him and will always value highly those years of my life. The many rides home together and continuous coaching to be better. I remember his laugh as well and quick wit humor. The Clearwater Beach FL trip with Hits'n Misses stands out as one of the best weekend trips. I will be praying for the family in this time of sorrow, for now he can finally rest in peace, but he will forever be missed.
