We are so very sorry to hear of Bob's passing.  We always enjoyed the time that we spent with Bob and Sandy at Parkinsons Support Groups.He was always willing to share what was going on with him and he also gave support and concern to what was going on with the group....and he was fun. He brought a lot of laughs to the group.His chemical engineering mind was always at work trying to find some answers for all of us. We miss you Bob......Love ,thoughts .and prayers.',''

Kassie, Buddy and Betty Hayes, so sorry to hear about Bobby Garnet..he was a funny guy who in his teenage years, loved to tease Kassie and me, especially weekend sleepovers  which happened quite often.

 I know how hard it is  letting go of siblings..🙏🙏.. May your family find peace from the outpouring of love. Wish I could be with you during this difficult time.  Hugs to all. 

Bob was not only a special person to work with but was a special friend as well. He always believed in the worth of people, that each person could obtain their potential if they were given the opportunity with the right leadership. He lived that every day of his life. He was also a basket of energy. I’ll never forget the time in a restaurant  when the service was slow and he went back into the kitchen to help out. They let him do so and boy did we get our service a lot quicker. The world has gotten a little darker but boy has heaven gotten a lot brighter!

Uncle Bobby had more influence on my life than most of my family might know.  Within our home, there was always a sense of adventure connected with the next place that the Humkey's were going to live....Orange Texas, Chattanooga, Willmington Deleware. I knew he was a Chemical Engineer and went to Speed Scientific School.  So when I realized I liked chemistry in high school, my thoughts turned to being a Chemical Engineer like my uncle Bob.  When I started to play golf in junior high, it was uncle Bobby who would play with me when he was in town or when we visited him in Willmington one summer.  His smile and laughter made everthing fun. As I aged and began raising my own family, I realized we had a deeper bond....one founded on Christ and His Holy Church.  God bless you Bobby, we will be praying for you, please pray for us.  Till we meet again.

My deepest sympathy to the Humkey family at this time. I worked with Bob both during his DuPont days and later with his own business. I assisted with their computer needs on a contract basis through DuPont.  Both Bob and Charlie were kind people to work with and I enjoyed them greatly. I hope all of you will find comfort in knowing that he will be sick no longer. 
Peace to you!

Sandy, 
I was so sorry to learn about Bob’s passing.  He was a delight to be around.  He did such a wonderful job in the Parkinson’s Support group in Eden NC.   Just cling to all your beautiful memories during these difficult days .  ❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏

What a wonderful brother he was to me.  I will miss him terribly.  Forever in my heart.💕💕💕

Sandy and Family,
It was a pleasure to meet and get to know Bob.  He was a good friend to my Dad (Tom Holloman) and I will always remember all the time and effort he put into the Speed School reunion.  It was a fun cookout!
Bob was a great man gone too soon.  May he Rest In Peace.

Dear Jennifer, Ashley & Amber,

I'm sorry to here about your Dad  & Grandfather  I don't know if you ever told me but he and I had something in common.  We were both Speed school graduates and Dupont employees.  I miss seeing you all at church and hearing you sing.  Let's all pray that this will end soon.
                                                                            Leo Halbleib

Dear Aunt Sandy, Chis and Jennifer - 
Words can’t express how sad we all our at the loss of Uncle Bobby. He will be missed so very, very much.
It is such a blessing that we were able to be together again last October. To share stories, reminisce and laugh is a memory I know we will all cherish and hold dear in our hearts. 
We love you and are praying for you. 
Karen, Rob and family

We'll all miss Bob and his big heart! 
When we were friends, neighbors, work associates in Delaware, I considered Bob my closest friend and confident. He was open and full of energy, always thinking of others and easy to talk to. 
I still smile remembering our late night partying, followed by early morning tee times ... an age-appropriate test of our constitutions. 
Bob made a positive impact on my life!
Tom

Sandy.....it’s difficult to put into words how profoundly saddened we were to hear about Bob’s passing.  He was a very special man.....his wit, kindness, goodness and friendship will surely be missed.  But, it was his optimism and love for others that we will remember most.....what a special man he was.  We will be forever grateful to have called him friend.  We simply loved him.
Larry and Vivian 

Leigh I am so sorry for your families lost. May God wrap his arms around you all and provide some peace.

There is not enough room on this page for me to express what Bob meant to me.  He was one of a kind. The important thing is that he knew. He was always there for me as he was for all. And his commitment to the Pregnancy Care Center ❤ was unstoppable.  I will be forever grateful to you, Bob for everything.  I love both you ❤ and your precious wife( and my singing partner).  My love, thoughts and prayers🙏 are with your family, and may you rest in the peace of God.
                       Love you Bob-----Lil

Besides being a good friend,  to me and everyone who met him, he worked tirelessly  building the Knights of Columbus , bringing so many of my fellow Knights in. NEVER giving in to " I don't have time". Finally succeeding in getting a Yes. I know, after converting to Catholicism he brought me in, and we became fast friends. He was truly an example of what a man of Faith should be. I will miss you  Bob, and my condolences go out to Sandy and all the family. R.I.P. Good and Faithful Servant.  
                   Your Brother Knight and good friend.                Ricky East.

What a blessing he was to all of us.  Loved him very much.  Here for all of you, Sandy, Chris and Leigh and Jennifer and all the grandkids. Love you all so much.
