I am at a loss and can't believe when I saw this. Bobby was one of the greatest I ever had the pleasure of knowing from one of the greatest families I have the pleasure to know. Heartbroken.

Mr.Zech, it saddens me dearly to hear of your passing. You were the greatest and most helpful counselor to my children (Brey'Ana,Monae', and Carlos). and myself. Never, ever, were you too busy to meet and/or assist. I am forever grateful and thankful for all you have done. My kids loved you and we know you loved them as well.
Mr. Zech, YOU will be missed.

He was my guidance counselor for 4 years. He was one of the main reasons I graduated highschool. The amount of times he saved me from doing something I shouldn´t have been doing or just lead me in the right path. I am enternally grateful for him

Bob was a great guy to work with. Any time that I talked with him he always found a way to make me laugh. The students that he guided were so fortunate to have had Bob in their corner. Rest in Peace my friend.

Mr. Zech. You were a light in my life for 4 extremely dark years in high school.
Last we talked, you said "I´ve always had faith in you, and I sure do now".
I am forever grateful for the role you played in my life. Your love, your kindness, your patience, and your motivation for me to keep pushing for better.
My heart is shattered. You will live on in my heart. RIP.

During the 18 years that I worked with Bob, he was always a kind, patient, and thoughtful man to the staff and students at RHS. He generously shared his smile, his can-do attitude, and his true dedication to helping the students reach their potential to plan for a brighter future. I will miss you dearly, Bob!
