Having moved away from the area in 1968, I hadn't seen Bob since graduation from PW High School. I am very sorry to hear about his passing.

I will always remember him as that sweet young man who was brave enough to work next to me in Chemistry lab. What a great loss he will obviously be for the community he served so well during his life with his volunteer work.

To Peggy and the O'Neill Family. We were very surprised and quite saddened to learn of Bob's passing. Bob and I worked at C&D Batteries (later C&D Technologies) for well over 25 years. Bob worked in the Manufacturing Engineering Group and supported C&D and myself with Specialized Tooling for Projects that I managed. I remember Bob and I making a trip to Attica and Brookston Indiana where he handled the creation of Specialized Tools for a Satellite Plant located in Brookston, Indiana. I had the sincere pleasure of meeting you and the children when I came to pick-up Bob at the house and fly out to Indiana together. I also remember you when we attended the many C&D Christmas Parties and Company Functions. I am so great full to have had the fond memories and pleasure of knowing and working with Bob. He will be sorely missed at the Alumni Reunions we've been attending over the years. Our Prayers are with you all. I do plan to say goodbye to Bob tomorrow and he'll always be kept in our presence especially at the C&D gatherings. Respectfully yours, Bill Kopf/C&D Manager

Mister O'Neill...isn't that how most fathers you meet are introduced to you as a kid? And then, later in life, a kind, fiercely intelligent man is pleading with you to call him Bob!

Well, Bob...well, done sir. You raised amazing children & loved your wife in a way no one could match.

Peggy, we are here for you.

Vincent, he lives ON through you. David, Phillip, Joanie, he was so proud of ALL of you.

Rest in Peace, MISTER O'Neill
