As an ACC student in the late 70's i had the pleasure knowing Coach Bob. He was stern, honest and had a great sense of humor. All of the elements that a young man looks for in his leaders. Always remembered him. May he rest in eternal peace.

I´ve known Bobby since I was about five years old. We grew up together and became very close, the kind of friendship that turns into brotherhood. Even though life later took us down different paths, that bond never left my heart. He was, and always will be, like a brother to me.
I pray he´s found eternal peace.
Love you brother.

I thought of you yesterday, didn't know why. I hadn't seen you around the building. A great teacher and mentor to us all in high school. Now, you are with your wonderful parents in the joy and peace of Heaven. God bless your lovely family. Give them God's grace, mercy and blessings during this difficult time. You will be so missed.
