I went to elementary school with Bobby at Lehigh Township Elementary, also was in cub pack 201 together. We played baseball at LTAA, and I could remember that Bobby was one of the few that could wallup a home run over the fence at those fields. I also remember his dad, one of the leaders in Cub Scouts, had an uncanny resemblance to Abraham Lincoln. I probably haven´t seen Bobby in about 35 years.Rest in peace.

My condolences to the family. I worked at MorrisBlack with Bob and together on many projects. He helped me work on machinery in our cabinet shop, and we talked long about our passion for shooting and leatherwork. He shared projects he made, like a leather knife sheath. I´ll miss you brother. Find peace in his memories. Lou VanHauter
