I just learned about Principal Swinburne passing. He was a GREAT man and enjoyed being a student with him at the helm steering the school. He listened and kids respected him. His family are lucky to have had him be in their lives. If there is a Heaven he is there.

When I lived in Price and attended Price Chapel, Bob was such an inspiration to me. When I needed to be uplifted Bob was the first one to pray for me. I will never forget him. Kim has welcomed her daddy home. Lurene, I am praying for you and love you. God will take care of you.

Bob was a good friend and neighbor. He was quite social, had a quick wit, and a decent sense of humor. Enjoyed his company in any circumstance. He will be missed, Lurene; It was our pleasure to have known both of you.

This man taught in such a way that learning was exciting and attainable. I truly appreciated him and his cheerful attitude and look back (many years) at his class of geometry as outstanding!

Condolences to his family and friends.
