Whenever Bob’s old Rutgers classmates get together his name always comes up and the sound of his name or one of his many nicknames brings a smile to our faces.  He was maybe the most beloved among the guys of the Beta House and his loss is still painful.  We are all fortunate to have called him friend.

You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers Janet🙏❤️

I knew Bob from my active duty days (U.S. Navy) & I went to Bob's active duty retirement ceremony.  We continued to converse in our civilian jobs as government employees.  Bob was such a huge help to me when I began my civilian service.  He was very patient w/my many questions & was a source of knowledge I could never imitate.  I asked him many times to take a lunch break, even suggesting we could go to the Chiefs' Club on base for a quick bite.  He always declined saying he was too busy & would choose to eat at his desk instead.  He was a very dedicated person & took pride in his work.

The Memorial Service was beautiful (the Prince songs, short video of the Daddy / Daughter dance & the memento baseball as we departed the bldg).  Rest in peace, my friend. 

I was very sad to hear of Bob's death.  In the short time I had the pleasure of working with him, I came to know Bob as a dedicated, sincere, and unassuming professional.  He was a true gentleman in a way that is all too rare.  I never once worried about the Mayport office despite constant turnover because I knew Bob would keep everything on an even keel.  
My sincere condolences to Bob's family.   Thank you for sharing him with us.  May you find peace and take comfort in a life well lived helping others.  

Meury Family -

It's terrible to hear about your loss and I express my sincere sympathy.  I offer my thoughts, prayers and well-wishes during this dark time in your life.

I first met Bob in Guam while he was assigned with the Seabees.  Fast forward a few years and now we are stationed together in Mayport, FL.

Bob was kind, compansionate and always cool under pressure.  A family man - great mentor and a Chief's Chief!  I had the great pleasure of coordinating his retirement from the Navy.  However, our friendship didn't stop there.  Bob went to work at Naval Station Mayport legal office.

I was selected for Chief during my tour and it was Bob imparting perils of wisdom on a newly selected LNC.  He will be sorely missed. 

I had met Bob a few times in person before I had the pleasure of actually working for him.  I walked in the door and he said why are you here I didn’t know you were coming here to work.  After that he became my stern mentor who questioned everything I did, taught me how to be compassionate and stern with the sailors who I was dealing with.  He would always look at me and smile when I did right and always pushed me to do more in the command and outside of work.  I could not have asked for a better and more positive influence on my work, my life and everything thing else I was dealing with.  He will be greatly missed.

I had the pleasure of meeting Bob during his first tour in the Navy onboard USS PELELIU, where we worked together in Admin .  As we continued our careers, we were often assigned in the same geographical area, allowing our friendship to grow.
I was honored to participate in his retirement from the Navy, and  to maintain our friendship throughout the years to follow.
A very kind, gentle and caring person, Bob always had a smile and kind word for all that knew him.  My friend, shipmate and fellow Chief, you will be truly missed.


I am so sorry for the loss of your husband, father, etc.  Bob and I worked together at Mayport.  He was always my go to guy when I had a question that had any possible legal ramifications.  Bob always talked me through it and gave me great advice.  We'd even laugh when he or I called each other and it wasn't about anything questionable!  He was such a great person and I so enjoyed working with him!  I pray that God will comfort you during this sad time!

Chief Meury was a kind and gentle soul who had a huge impact on so many people, including me as a brand new Navy lawyer several years ago.  It was clear how much he loved his family...and golf.  The world needs more people like him.  He will be missed, but never forgotten.  Rest in peace.  

Mr. Meury was a great man and mentor. During my first tour as a Navy attorney Mr. Meury happily shared his experiences and professional expertise with me. I learned so much from him. There was nothing that he had not dealt with, and everyone on base—and throughout the region—knew of his excellent and consistent performance. 

When my son was born Mr. Meury shared lots of bad dad jokes and gave me great advice that I remember to this day. Putting the car seat on the dryer works! 

I am very sorry to hear of his family’s loss. He will be fondly remembered and greatly missed. 


I was so sorry to learn of Bob's passing.  He was a wonderful guy with a great sense of humor and one of the nastiest dodge ball players ever produced at Rutherford High School.  My condolences to Janet and her family.

Bob...what a wonderful soul. He was so welcoming when I first started onboard Naval Station Mayport.  My next door neighbor in the Jag office.  Bob always greeted me with a smile and a joyous attitude. I loved listening to his stories, mostly about his family, which he loved above all.  I’m sorry that he didn’t have more retirement time with his beloved family.  Rest In Peace dear Bob, you will continue to live through all the lives you influenced.  May God surround your family with strength during this difficult time. 

I knew Bob as Bobby when we were growing up. His mother was my aunt, and we had many holiday dinners together with my family and Bobby, Patti, Barbie, and Doris, and Bob.  I plan to come to the services on Sunday. Linda Dillon Atkinson/Savannah, GA

My day wasn’t completed unless I heard from Bob.   Our friendship grew throughout our years at Legal, and whether work related or family we always had a good laugh.   Bob loved his wife and children, dedicated to his job, he looked forward to retiring and playing golf.  My sincere condolences to Janet and their children. 

I will miss Bob’s laugh and those conversations we had about all sorts of topics. He had strong opinions and was a great listener. 
I’ll never forget his professionalism and pride in service.  He will always be in my book of memories.

I am a fraternity brother of Bob's and we met in 1968 at Rutgers University.  Bob was without a doubt one of the most beloved and respected guys in our house and even though I have only seen "Yogi" as was his nickname ( among many others ) twice since he joined the Navy in 1980, his friendship and memory are forever important to me and many others up here in NJ.

In 1971 Bob, two other fraternity brothers and I bought a beat up truck for 600 dollars and on the day after Labor Day we embarked on a "road trip" to California.  We had a two person tent, zero camping experience and none of us had ever been west of Pennsylvania.....what could go wrong?  Due to the truck's age and our habit of sleeping late and starting Happy Hour early, it took us six weeks to make it to Pasadena.  Now, I don't know if God grants us just so many laughs and moments of joy in our lifetimes, but for sure we used up more than our share in those six weeks.  I recall vividly that as we visited each state Bob would buy a local beer and write down in detail his opinion of the local brews........we didn't know it at the time but Bobby was ahead of his time as a craft beer "blogger"!

Bob, Janet, Jen and Mike.......rest assured your husband and dad will never be forgotten and he will be roundly toasted and celebrated at our annual Beta reunion on October 6th.......that is why one of his other nicknames is.....The Legend.

Bob and I worked together from August 2010 until my retirement from the Navy in November of 2014. He was one of the kindest and most hard working souls I have ever met. I enjoyed our daily meetings while I was the executive officer at Naval Station Mayport, FL. He enriched the lives of everyone who knew him. I will miss him! I'm a better person because I knew him. God bless you Bob! Thank you for being apart of my life! Gone too soon! But I think god needed you as part of his master plan. He couldn't have picked a better man! 

Yogi, my Beta brother, you anchored the bottom floor of 200 Easton Ave during the August 1970 - June 1971 period, ten months that nine Betas will never forget.  You brought friendship and laughter with you wherever you went.  The years have separated us, but the memories have held fast.  You will be missed by all, may you rest eternally in peace.  

I have known Bob for over 24 years and he is one of the most honorable, knowledgeable and wonderful people I have had the pleasure of calling a colleague and more importantly a Friend.
He always had time for me, not matter how busy he was.  He was always good for a laugh and for reminiscing.

I will miss you Shipmate!  Fair winds and following seas...Heaven just received one incredible Man  

I was fortunate to have served with Chief Meury and was honored that he asked me speak at his Navy retirement ceremony.  My condolences to his family and friends.  He will be missed.

So, so sorry to hear of Bob's passing. The CHIEF was such a good man and Shipmate.  I consider myself lucky to have crossed paths with this kind and gentle leader. Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Meury clan during this difficult period. God Bless, Lana and Bill Sweeney
