I first met Bob when we both lived at Embassy aptments. I was in my 20s and he in his 50s. He was a rare friend. Dispite the difference in ages we hit it off. I had a friend and times I'll always remember. He was such a good man and friend, words don't seem enough. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family

Glenn:  Very sorry to hear of the loss of your son. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Jan and I are so sorry to hear of Bob's death.  I remember Doris telling us what he said after helping us move from Gum Street to Southeast Blvd.  "I feel fine, but those other dudes were totaled".  We hadn't kept up with his activities, but we always appreciated knowing him and being with you.  May God comfort you in this unexpected lost.  It is always hard to lose a love one, but especially one so young.

The Katterhenry family are in our thoughts and prayers this week.

Thoughts and prayers for the family and friends of Bob.  He had a special place in my husband, Ray's life, myself  and our children.  He will be greatly missed.

Dear Katterhenry family,  I was saddened to hear of Bob's passing. Through God's grace may you all have comfort during this hard time.

Bob was like an uncle to me growing up.  I had some wonderful times camping, fishing and hiking with Bob.  He was truly an inspiration to me and my family.  He will greatly missed.

I've known my Dads best friend for as far back as I can remember. My brother, cousins, and I thought he was the strongest man in the world. He would allow us to grab onto his arm and he would lift us up like we were light as feathers! We loved Bob, he would always play with us kids and we honestly considered him as our uncle. Many prayers go out to family and to the people who were lucky enough to know Bob. You will be missed "Hulk Hogan"!

Bob was such a sweet man, always friendly and helpful, and quick with a smile.  He will be truly missed by everyone who knew him.

I can not think of a time that I did not know Bob...we have been good friends since nursery school at the Methodist Temple. We shared many good times growing up and my own children considered him as an uncle. I will always remember " I had to laugh". I always respected the fact that Bob never compromised about what he believed in and his word was always valid. We will all miss you but I know we will meet again in Glory! My deepest condolences go to the family and friends of Bob.
With Great Respect, Ray Gilbert...Linton Kentucky

Bob,

You will be greatly missed!  You were so much more than a cohort in the environmental field, you were my friend!  You did things not just because it was a job, but because you cared about those around you and I will always remember you for that.  Take care my friend, I will see you on the other side! 
I'm sure your riding that motorcycle on golden paved roads!

Bob was a trusted friend who would do anything for you anytime. We had a lot of fun together back in the day and he will be missed very deeply by those of us that knew him. We wish him well in his new home and look forward to seeing him some day soon.

Bob was such a treasured family friend.  Bob and my late brother Dan had so many adventures, always worked together, and made each other important.  Bob always had funny stories and good advice.  I appreciate the memories and knowing Bob.  My respect to Glenn, Joe, and Jane.

Glenn ,Joe  ,Jane,  Bob was a childhood friend of mine, we lost contact the last couple of years, when we did meet up it was like old times , Bob will be sorely missed by friends & family alike or prayers or with you.  Steven Marklin

I always looked forward to Bob making his sample pickups at IPL.  He always had a smile and a nice word and will be missed greatly.  My sympathy to his family and to those who worked closely with him.

I cannot express enough how important Bob was to me.  He made my life better just by knowing and working with him over the past 16 years.  He always put all others first before himself and I never got to tell you what a great friend you are you me. 
Rest in Peace Bob

Got to know you through Jerry Basham,You were always polite and I enjoyed hearing about the road trips you and Jerry went on. God bless.

Bob was such a good person &  fun to work with. Lost touch with him since the National Labs days. My thoughts & prayers go out to his family & friends.  He will be missed by anyone who had the pleasure of knowing him.

Glenn,
I want to express my sincere sympathy to you on the loss of your son. I am sorry that I cannot attend the visitation or funeral  for I am out of town on business. If there is anything I can do to help during this difficult time please let me know. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Your friend,

BobKat was a great coworker, always with a sparkle in his eye and a laugh about anything. He was a true friend and never failed to send a holiday or birthday message over the years. Rest in peace, BobKat. You will truly be missed.

He was a good man!  I 'm very sorry for this loss.

I am grateful for the friendship we shared.  A friend for over 40 years.  We shared many memorable times over those years.  Bob was as good a friend as anyone could have wished for.  He represented everything the word "friend" means.

Rest in peace friend.

Bob was a great guy and a really good friend. For 20 years we worked together & fished. Most recently we were gastronomes on about giving the lunch hour a good shaking through! 
Bob was a man that dropped what he was doing and helped everyone.

I will miss you Bob! Thank you so much for the time we spent together and your friendship! Condolences to the Katterhenry family.

Bob and I were good friends in grade school and high school. We too had many adventures. I'll miss you Bob.
