Just feel the need to add somewhere how special I feel Bob was to this world, to me. His calming spirit, gentle soul, worldly yet easy going smile, always brought me to a sense of well-being. I will hold onto that forever- Love and miss you Bob...smile on!

WOW !!!! Bob, all of the years we have worked together , we have always laughed and had a good time at work with Robin. Now , you are with Robin again. You will be greatly missed. I had no idea that you were as sick as you were, but now you suffer no more. Tell Robin that I said "Can't Handle It ". Love Tracye

Bob, thank you for your contributions to our class. Your gentle heart and kind spirit was a model for us all to follow. That sense of humor helped keep life in perspective. I miss hearing you read books to our students, special memories of "Three Cups of Tea" and "Holes". Rest in Peace.

We Girls all worked with Bob at Cabrillo post secondary class. We loved Bob! We would bring in flowers and put them on the table to brighten up the room and make us girls feel special. We loved and appreciated his humor and he always had a book book to share. We missed him when he moved on from post Secondary and we will miss him now. Loved you Bob
