Mr Sturtevant was one of my 6th grade teachers. He was a positive influence in my life. I remember to this day him saying "cool your scooter". I really looked up to him.

I am so sorry to hear about Bob. I worked with Bob for several years at Penn Foundation and have so many great memories with him. He was an amazing man and helped so many families throughout the years. I personally learned a lot while working with him. We spent many hours working together on his clients paperwork and documents. My thoughts are with your family at this time.

I always enjoyed his smile and conversations at family gatherings. I will especially remember him slicing the turkey with my Dad on Christmas. His presence at the holiday table will surely be missed. He always gave the nicest blessings before we ate at our family gatherings .
