Bob was one of the nicest people on this earth. I worked with Bob at York Hospital and I missed him greatly when he left to pursue his own business. Many of our employees followed him to his business because he was so well liked. Deepest sympathy to Cindy and the children and grandchildren. You will miss him. Hold your memories dear.

Bob was the nicest, most generous soul I have ever had the privilege of knowing. We worked together for several years in our early teaching careers. Bob and Cyndy were dear friends in those early years. His contributions to the larger community were large and many. He is a man who is a role model for many. His life had such meaning. We all learned and continue to learn from Bob.

My condolences to the family. Mr. Wheeling was my homeroom teacher at McCaskey, his first year teaching was our sophomore year. I had the distinct pleasure of sitting next to Mr. And Mrs. Wheeling at our 50th+1 class reunion. I feel so fortunate to have had the conversations with them. It was the first time I had the chance to reconnect since graduation. May you rest in peace!
