My condolences to the Murtha Family for the loss of their husband & father. The Murthas have been good family friends for many years. Bob's kids were mine & my brother's friends, and Bob served as my guidance counselor at Righetti HS at one time. Thank you for your time & attention in so many young people's formative years! Rest in peace, sir. You made a difference.

As one of the Guidance Technicians that worked under his care, he was the most caring person I know. He was a great mentor to all that worked under him. I was very fortunate to have known him.

My condolences to Ann and to all of you children. I know he loved you all dearly. Rest in Eternal Peace, Bobby. We will miss you.

Our condolences to Mrs. Murtha and family. Great memories we have growing up in the neighborhood hanging out with the Murtha kids playing all the outside games was so much fun.

I knew Bob through the high school district. He was a teacher to the core and shared his knowledge and kindness with all that knew him. Thank you for sharing Bob with all of us. He made the world a better place. I´ll never forget him.
