For those who didn't know Bob, he was a teacher at Floyd Central for more than 30 years. Speaking personally, he had a tremendous impact on my life.
Bob died yesterday after suffering a brain aneurysm earlier in the week, and to be perfectly honest, it's a bit much for me at the moment.
Words don't often fail me, but this is different. When they return, I'll write more, and also update this space when funeral arrangements are announced.

Some of my best memories are from his class and a trip to Europe he chaperoned. He was a wonderful man. Fiddle farts.
Oh Roger I am so sorry. I can think of 2 teachers that would bring me to tears if they should predate me in death. Keep those warm memories forever.
Bob meant the world to me and had such a positive impact on my life and love of words. I moved away immediately after high school but always kept in touch. I remember the first time I did not receive my annual Christmas card, with letter and school picture enclosed, I knew something was wrong because Bob would never go without responding to my letter. His passing, far too soon for such a young soul, saddens me and I long for his letters and gentle words.

Thank you, Ron.
