A great man .. his passion for the further generation of skilled trade was his goal as he focused on the children, his community, and the building trade. Giving back was very rewarding to him. He will be greatly missed, and my greatest sympathy to the family my he Rest In Peace .

Bob and I made many decisions for the benefit of Triumph Academy. When we focused on "doing what is right, not what's easy" students always came first. A great man who had a positive impact on thousands by offering an alternative to traditional public education.

Bob was a good and kind man, not to mention gifted and talented builder. His love for God's people and life was evident in everything he did. He was a man of his word; a man of honor. His sister Rita was a dear friend. Your family will be in our prayers. May the angels welcome you to Paradise, Bob.
