Bullet certainly will be missed, there is something every day that reminds me of him. He was the closest thing to a father to me after my dad passed. My condolences to Russell, David, and rest of the family.

~I have to acknowledge this remarkable human being....I always called him 'Professor Bob'. He was a mentor, instructor and friend to me since my initiantion at Auburn in '91. He looked like Santa and sounded just like Paul Harvey..So very witty and intelligent in his field of psychology of learning. The last time I saw him, we spoke about how I needed to evolve from the circumstances in which I found myself~that was too long ago, really. He is one I most wanted to contact before I began my current journey of RE-learning life, and never could find. I am just so sad that I didn't get to hug him once more ~ ?~ Heaven has gained a most wise and wonderful ANGEL~?~R.I.P., Professor Bob~thank you for everything.

Tom & Family,
I am so very sorry for your loss. Bob was such a kind and loving man. He will be missed by all who knew him!
He is now reunited with his Bride and I'm sure he wanted nothing more than to be with her again!
You all have my deepest sympathies.
May he Rest in Peace.
Barbara
