Just seeing this again and wanted to let the family know you have been in my prayers.  Bob was so great to set up our Harding class of 1959 Web site.  He lives on through all us. We miss him but I know you miss him more.

I knew Bob from about he 4th grade thru high school. My mom shopped in his dad's store. I have nothing but good memories.Sorry to hear about your loss. May God be with you.

Bob McCallum, Honolulu,HI

I knew Bob  my entire life from the first grade to high school. I have my 1st grade school picture, and there set me and there stands Bob. I played football at old Harding High, and there was Bob in the same uniform. He died at 71, and I'm 71. In this case the , "GOOD" , really did go first because as far as ," good " ,Bob was ahead of me. You will really be missed Bob, but I know you're up above smiling down on us.

Bob was always a gentleman and a hard worker at IBM in Raleigh and Charlotte where we worked together for many years.  We shared a lot of laughs, especially with some of the pranks he played on me over the years.  "He who lives in the shelter of the Lord and abides in His shadow for life shall be lifted up on eagles' wings and shine like the sun".  Psalm 91.  A very applicable Scripture for Bob.  God Bless.

Sending many heartfelt prayers of peace and comfort to this lovable family.

I worked with Bob for over 20 years at IBM.  A GREAT, GOOD MAN.  My sympathy goes to his family.  Bob will be in heaven to welcome us.                 Thomas L. Wetherell (Salisbury, N.C.)

Bob was a faithful church member and a wonderful family man, who showed great courage throughout his long illness. He will be missed by everyone, especially by Brenda and other members of his family. May God be with you all.

I was very saddened to hear about Bob's passing. I always had such great respect for Bob in a number of ways.  He was a great work team member when several of us from Charlotte worked on an IBM internal audit team together in the 90's.  I respected him most for the person he was.  Bob loved his family very much and that was very obvious to all who knew him. Brenda and the entire family will be in our prayers, as we pray for comfort and peace for all.

Bob was a fine man. He attended many of the lunch time get togethers, we had, with other IBM retirees. He enjoyed life, always had a smile on his face, and was fun to be around. Bob will be missed. Brenda, and family, I am sorry for your loss.

My heart goes out to his family. He was a wonderful person.

I knew Bob growing up in Glenwood, at HHS, and our paths continued to cross occasionally in our careers at IBM. Bob was a great guy and well thought of by everybody who knew him. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

So very sorry to hear of Bob's passing. God's peace be with you, his family.

You could not meet a greater guy. Bob has always been an inspiration to me and I know he has been an inspiration to many others. I will miss him, along with the all the guys who meet and have dinner on Monday evenings. I will keep Bob and his family and friends in my prayers. God Bless You Bob

I worked with Bob in Accounting at IBM.  Super nice guy and so friendly. I am truly sorry for your loss.

A good man. Worked with Bob for years at IBM. He always wore a smile.

He will be missed. Such a super person. The '59 Harding Rams have lost a dear, dear friend.
