I have known Bob since our WVC and CWSU days. They don't come any better than Bob Mitchell, period. His genes live on in mighty nice people. Cherish the memories, Linda.

I met Bob and visited with him frequently at Rotary. My condolences to his family. I am not sure how long Bob was a Rotarian, but I enjoyed visiting with him when I saw him. He will be missed.
