Bob was a true friend and professional. You could not be around him and not have fun. From his morning welcome of "Nice that you showed up", to his comments as you left work of "Leaving already". He played jokes on secretaries, staff and students. He would place a critter of some kind on your desk or give you a “wet willie”, but he was always there when the chips were down. He love to dance and always enjoyed a good party. There was more than one conference in which the wives of the other attendees waited patiently outside the meeting room doors for Bob to come out and go dancing.

He was passionate about his work and he loved the people he worked with. But, above all he loved his family and the kids that were transported on our buses. If the quote by Banksy is true, “I mean, they say you die twice. One time when you stop breathing and a second time, a bit later on, when somebody says your name for the last time”, then Bob will be alive for a very long time. Good bye, friend.

Hail Mary, full of grace.
Our Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.

To the Austin Family: I met Bob in 1993 when I attended the CHP Academy for School Bus Instructors. Bob was an excellent instructor and I will always remember his dedication to the safety of school children everywhere. May God bless and comfort you at this difficult time.

I wanted to offer my condolences and a comforting thought. John 3:16- For God loved the world so much that he gave his only begotten Son, in order that everyone exercising faith might not be destroyed but have everlasting life.
