My thoughts and prayers are with the whole Neff family. Knew Bob in highschool as we shared several classes. He was an extraordinary person to know, a true athlete who kept games exciting, accomplished and always well thought of. He will be missed, but the memories will be forever.

I knew Bobby all through grade school (Sacred Heart) and High School (CCHS). Played with him at the Herbst play ground, basketball and baseball. We both lived close by. Bobby was a pranster that always got a laugh out of us. RIP and prayers to family.

I was a classmate of Bob´s at CCHS and was amazed at his skill on the basketball court. I later got to play with him and for him when he a player/coach for the City´s basketball team. Finally I got to work with him at the Recreation Bureau for several years. He was funny, brutally honest, caring and a hard worker. I was proud to work with him and proud to think of him as a friend. You will be missed, Bob. My thoughts and prayers are with Sue and his family. God bless.
