  2. Bob and I were classmates at Seaside Union High School, class of ’64. As a fresh-faced teenager and later, an adult, Bob was a person of integrity, humility and service. All who knew him enjoyed a wonderful friendship. His engaging smile came easily to him, for he was a man happy, contented with his life
    In his adult life Bob was a loving husband, doting dad and a champion of his community.
    Our community was heartbroken to lose such a fine man.
    Thank you for your service, Bob. May God love and protect you always.

  3. I had great honor to be a fraternity brother to Bob and his brother Rich. I knew both of his parents. Bob was such a great brother and friend. Thank you for honoring him. He was always willing to help everyone. He is my hero.
