I was so saddened to learn of Bob's passing.  I worked at Arch L. Heady with him for several years, and even after his retirement, he often stopped by for a visit.  I know what a lover of dogs Bob was, so whenever we got a new puppy I'd call him up and he'd rush right over to play with it.  He was a good man and will be missed.

I remember the first time I met Bob, he was a pastor and we worked together as we served a family. Then we became co-workers at Arch L. Heady, and I remember the first family he served, the family felt so close to him, that they asked him to do the funeral services for their loved one. Bob loved serving families. I will miss your smile and comforting word. May you know rest from your labors. My deepest sympathy to Carol and his family…

When I first met Bob he struck me as a kind and gentle man. That is how he served his family and others he met. My thoughts and prayers are with you, Keri, Chris and their families. May the Lord be with you. 

I meet Bob when I was just beginning my career in funeral service.  He was so supportive and caring ❤.  He delivered the best, most profound eulogy I have ever heard. He simply slowly walked the Chapel aisles, reading from "Tuesdays with Morrie", and added a few comments of his own. Inspired. 
There are many ways to describe this truly exceptional man, but to me he was an authentic Christian,  a kind and empathetic man and a caring funeral director.  I know he rests in peace with our Lord. 

I had the pleasure of working with Bob in and around cemetery and funeral homes almost 20 years. Loved him. He officiated my sister and brother-in-law’s marriage. Great memories! My Sympathy to family. 

I’ve known Bob for 25 years. We worked together at Arch L. Heady Westport Village.  He was a good man , very intelligent and interesting. He loved the families he served at both the funeral home and in ministry. He truly cared about people.  He loved his wife and family tremendously. Fly high my friend.  I will miss you.

I have such great memories of Bob when I worked for Carol at Fern Creek Elementary.
I am sending much love and prayers for Carol and her family ❤️🙏



Bob served as our pastor and took part in our wedding on August 1, 1992.  Even though it has been 30 years since our paths have crossed he and Carol have often been in our thoughts.  He had a significant impact on my life and I thank God for the privilege of knowing him.  Your family will continue to be in our thoughts and prayers.

What a full life your husband led even though it was cut too short.😢 Not only did he serve our country, he served the Lord as well. I know you have many precious memories and I pray God with comfort you in your grief. Your husband is being rewarded for his service to the Lord and he is still ministering in his death. In Colossians he reminded us we have redemption and the forgiveness of our sins. What a glorious reward in Heaven! ❤🙏

Sending our love and support, to Carol and family.  Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.
