Memories Timeline

Guestbook

  1. I lived on Walnut Street in Mt Carmel and Bob and I walked to school together every day. We played high school football,track and field and baseball. Bob wrestled and I played basketball. We were also in the National Honor Society. But, in retrospect I think Bob’s best moment was his role in the senior class play. He was a good comic actor and he stole the show. They were fun days. Bob and I were good high school friends. I was shocked when I read of Bob’s passing in today’s Post. My condolences to the family for your loss.

  2. Joe: Our thoughts and prayers are with you as you celebrate your bother’s life. Hopefully many good memories will help your through this time of grief.

  3. Dear Gayle and family: Please accept our family’s most heartfelt condolences on Bob’s passing. The news of his passing was devastating to me personally, coming only a few weeks after my own mother’s passing, and canceling any possibility of us sharing memorable get-togethers or even travel to foreign lands, that we so much hoped to do in our retirements. Bob and I traveled on business all over the US, seeing after the interests of SMACNA contractors. On these journeys, some pleasant, others not so much, one sees your companions under all types of circumstances, and quickly their true character becomes clearly evident. I must say that Bob loved his country and his family and was most kind, generous and gracious at all times and I will miss him immensely. With him gone, I will not hear his: “Hey, Billy!!!!” until we meet again in God’s Kingdom. Bill & Margarita

  4. Dear Gayle and Family Please accept my deepest sympathy for your loss. Bob and I were classmates at Mount Carmel High School. I have fond memories of our high school days together. I knew Bob’s Mother and Father as well as his brothers quite well. I was quite disappointed Bob wasn’t able to attend our last HS Class Reunion. I’m also disappointed we were never able to get together in the DC area where I resided for over 20 years until recently returning to Mount Carmel.

  5. Christine, James and Family, Our deepest sympathies to you and your entire family. We are so sorry to hear of the loss of your father. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Barb and Charlie

  6. So sorry for your loss and may your thoughts be filled with all the loving memories that will live forever with all of you. God Bless; my prayers are you with you. Sean

  7. My deepest sympathy for a well liked high school classmate. I hope you have many happy memories to make you smile. May the care and concern of friends and family help ease your pain. Sincerely, Joe Weinkle

  8. Gayle , Elsie called me with the sad news about Bob’s passing. I was saddened to hear from her in that regard. I know you had many happy years together. I think of you often and remember all the fun times we shared as roomies and in our flying adventures. Take care, Gail Wynn

  9. So sorry to hear of Bob’s passing. It is ironice that i have been dreaming of our childhood days together. It was so much fun having an older cousin to visit with and spend time with growing up. Let us know when he will be buried in Arlington as we would like to attend if possible. Seems the sign of the times that we have all lost touch with our families that we grew up with and all went our separate ways. But believe me the love is always there. Gayle if you ever need anything don’t hesitate to call. Love to your family and your new grandaughter.

  10. So sorry Bob didn’t live longer. My condolences to his family I just found out about his passing. We both lived in the same area of VA all these years and could have easily crossed paths. When I was a junior at Mt Carmel high school Bob invited me to his commencement party. That summer he went away from Mt Carmel for a job. We exchanged a few letters but lost track of one another. I lived in Mc Lean for 27 years and worked and drove through Vienna often. My daughter lives in Oakton VA where his brother may still live.
