Just heard today of Bob's death. So very sorry for your loss. Bob and I were principals together. Bob at Highlands High school, me at the Middle School. We had many good times together. He was a great man, principal, and a dear friend. If I would have known when he passed, I would have been there. God Bless Bob and his family. He will be surely missed. Allan and Karen Reyer

Prayers and condolences to Bob's family, hope you can remember all the good times. I first had Mr Susini as the teacher assigned to my study hall in the basement of Highlands Middle School back in 1969 where he let us play the Sports Illustrated NFL football game that I brought....he was real cool about it. Later in life he and my Dad Chris Warriner, who was Athletic Director at Highlands, became friends and I got to know him much better, he was a great guy....fair and balanced.....and funny with that dry sense of humor. RIP Mr Susini!

Mr. Susini was my principal at Highlands Senior High school. I graduated from the class of 1976. He was amazingly kind to me. He was strong when he needed to be, and I had such respect for this man. My heart is saddened but I know he is with our Lord and that one day everyone will meet again. Mrs. Susini and family, my sympathy and thank you for sharing him with many of us as a great role model!
