I met Bob at Elizabethtown in the tiny campus bowling alley during a visit to the college during my senior year in HS.  We hung out and talked for a long time that night.  No romance, just a nice evening. He was  so kind to a silly high schooler and I felt very at ease with him.  Once I arrived on Campus in September I ran into him and would see him regularly with his dorm friends.  One night he came to my dorm with a concern he had that one of the guys he knew was going to offer me some serious drugs that next day.  He was worried about me (knowing I was a rather naive freshman) and warned me not to take any.  When the opportunity presented itself shortly thereafter I, of course declined.  I never forgot Bob’s kindness and concern.  Recently I was curious about what he was doing with his life. I was saddened when I came across this obituary saying that he had passed in 2013.  However, as I read about his life, his 32 year marriage, kids, career, faith etc, I had to smile.  I was not surpried that he had lived an exemplary life. Please accept my very late offer of condolence.  He was truly a treasure.

I was so taken back when reading of Bobs passing!  You won’t know me and I may only be a vague memory to Sharon and Bobs family..I am the girl he was dating from New York when he was 19!  I thought of him often as he inspired me in art and his lovely talented and gentle spirit.
I am so saddened to discover he passed away and I am sure, Carol, that you really miss him.  I hope peace has found you after this sad time and you rest in the reassurance that his life was filled with joy and value.
peace to you and your family

Dear Carol
I had to write to tell you how deeply saddened I was to read of Bob’s death.
It has been many years since working with you at County Printing and the boys were quite small the last time that I saw you.
But I clearly remember your happiness with marriage and family.
I am sending this heartfelt message of sympathy in hope that in some small way it will help you in this very difficult time.
Most Sincerely
Joann Stewart

Carol, Andrew & Alex,

I am so very sorry to hear about Bob!  I just found out today, 1/29, or I would have been there last week!  My heart is breaking for all of you.  You are such a wonderful family and always have been very special to me!  Bob was a great man, husband and father.  I know he will be missed by so many people!  Just remember, we will all be together again.  I’m sure Seth was there to meet him…he loved all of you so very much too.  If there is ANYTHING you need that I can do for you, please just call me, my number is still the same.  You are all in my prayers.

Hi all,
So very very sad to hear the news of Bobby’s passing. I will always have our memories of our Easters together and Easter Egg Hunt! Lot’s of laughs as we looked for our eggs in the drain pipes, well and any other places we could find to make someone laugh!

Also memories as a teenager of hanging in Aunt Selena’s basement listening to the Rolling Stones come to mind as well! Hopefully he is now at peace and looking down upon us all! I’ll see you all tomorrow afternoon!

Patti McCrossan

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family through this heartbreaking time. There’s nothing that I can say that will ease your pain but I just wanted you to know we are thinking of you!
May the Lord’s precious promise bring you strength for today, and hope for tomorrow.

Love to you and your family,
Doug and Susan Parthemore

May the Good Lord hold you all closely in the palm of His hand.
With sincere sympathy,
Marjorie Keen
