We are sad to learn of Bob's passing on Tuesday and send our deepest condolences to his family. RIP Bob...
Friend and classmate, Ed Grinde, BHS '67, posted this notice with these great photos yesterday.
"Lost a dear friend 27 February. I was not worthy of him. I love you Bob, rest in peace. Thank you"
Christine (Winters) Cline, BHS '67, wrote in Facebook and posted this wonderful photo of Bob:
"Bob will be dearly missed by many, and he will live forever in the hearts of those who knew and loved him. We went together all through high school and were married in 1972, for ten years. We are blessed with two beautiful daughters and five wonderful grandchildren."
"He was a unique man--strong, confident, and caring. Bob had the most incredible sense of humor, and enjoyed life to the fullest. His illness was rough on him, but he held his head up high and was a courageous fighter to the end."
"One of my favorite photos from 1977"
