To the family and friends of Bob. I will truly keep you in my prayers. Although Bob and I only knew each other thru our vacation deals every year, I know he was a very kindhearted, hardworking, fun-loving, high spirited man. He knew how to work and he knew how to play. I wish I could be more like that! God Bless you Bob! Nancy from New Orleans / Mandeville, LA

I knew and dated Bob when he was a senior at Alter High School. He was charming, gorgeous, and a great football player. A real guy's guy. He was funny and he loved movies and music. He drove a big VW bus and when he went to get it painted, he asked me what color to paint it. After turning down "boring" red and blue I told him I thought he should paint it yellow, which he did. His friends kidded him that he was driving a big "lemon." What a fun car that was though! Our song was Elton John's "Tiny Dancer" and although we watched a lot of movies the two I remember most are "Jeremiah Johnson" and "Maude." We lost touch when he went to college but talked again briefly when he found out I had gotten a job at IBM - he tracked me down in training and we had a chance to catch up. Bob was a great guy, he is gone too soon.

I went to school with Bob at Our Lady of Good Hope. I remember him as always being nice to all his classmates. He was also one of several that challenged me to keep up academically. I am so very sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Will try 3rd time to let family know of my respect/admiration for Bob during his Wittenberg days. He was one tough, hard-nosed and talented competitor. I was on the staff (1967-76) and was able to appreciate his sense of humor brought to the game. He will be missed. Sincerely, Dick Fahrney

I'm so sorry about the loss of Bob. He will be missed by everyone who knew him. My deepest condolences goes out to the family. Hosea 13:14 assures us that God will recover our love ones from the grave and remove the sting of death.

About 17 years ago we renamed him "Munkin Bob" when the kids could only say Munkin when trying to say Uncle. To this day, I always called him Munkin. Though we were no longer family, I owe a great big thank you to the man who paved the road to my life for me - with out intending to! He moved my sister to Navarre and I followed soon after. To a town I'd never heard of prior to that - where we all became self employed and found great success over the last 15 years. We have a lot of great memories from Georgia to here and Munkin Bob will be missed by many. His legacy lives on in Robert Theodore IIII who has always made his dad (and entire family) so proud and will continue to do so! Prayers for my nephew Bobby during these difficult times ahead.

Please accept my condolences. I had no idea Holdy was ill and just found out of his freedom. As a believer, I know Holdy is fine again walking on streets paved with gold. Holdy was a free spirit and a superb football player. To say that being Holdy’s big brother image was fun ia a huge understatement. Helping Holdy get his first job at Xerox. Condo mates in Miamisburg. Going to a Club Med together on some Caribbean island. Having beers at the ‘Dew Drop Inn’ on our way to my hometown; Lorain, just minutes before a tornado leveled it. The LaForce family embraced Holdy and visa versa. Holdy sent a beaut8ful arrangement to our son’s (Blake) celebration of life. Sharing these and more memories, celebrating Holdy’s life, I hope will help and bring smiles. RIP brother.

Reflecting bsck on the good times we were together in Dayton, I cannot help but smile Bob. That's the way you will be remembered. That infectious grin you always had. The standard question you always asked when you walked into a room "Hey what's going on?" God Bless you Bob.

I am so sorry to hear of Holdy's passing. Great athlete and friend. Always had a wisecrack and a smile whenever you would see him. RIP Holdy.

I’m thinking of all of you during this very sad time, especially my Grandson, Bobby. I’ll miss going with Bobby to visit Bob when we’re in town ... Bob always greeted me with a hug and would make me a smoothie with a shot from his stash under the counter. I loved looking around in his store and he’d laugh about giving me the family price when I shopped. Rest In Peace Bob, you’ll be missed Debbie

We have known Bob for 15+ years as our dear friend, neighbor (we are in 101W) and property manager. Always gentile, caring, honest and hard-working, he always wore a smile and spoke a kind word. There is so much of him we will miss! His “smoothies” are legendary in our family. God Bless you Bob and prayers for your family. “Bye Now”

My thoughts and prayers go out to the all family and friends of Robert. I remember when I was little he would babysit me. When I would begin to cry he was the only one who could calm me down. Thank you Munkin Bob. We love you.

To Holdy's Family:I went to school with Holdy at Alter and Wittenberg. We played in a bowl game that was covered by TV in 1973. We were on the defense. On one play, we sacked the quarterback. Holdy hit him high and I hit hem low. The TV commentator gave Holdy the credit for the sack. I would give him all the credit now if he could just be back with us for one more play. RIP Holdy.

Bob, You were a great friend. You taught me to laugh at adversity, got my son kicked out of Captain Tony's, made us all parrot-heads, world class pheasant hunter, but most of all you were a great friend. I miss you already. This "Bud" is for you.

I am saddened by the loss of Bob. In past years we fished, finished basements and had some good times together. On occasion we would have a cold beverage. My sympathy and support goes to his family during this time. I hope I can fill some of the void for Bobby, my grandson, with the loss of his father. My thoughts and heart go out to all the family during this difficult time.

Bob - You've been my closest friend since high school and I'm going to miss you. But what a time we had for those 47 years. Thanks for the friendship and the memories. Goodbye my old friend.

I am so sorry for the loss of Bob and offer my sincere condolences to his family. Bob was always a welcome sight when I went to Navarre Beach. We always shared active discussions about many relevant subjects, including football, all the while enjoying “cool ones.” He was a friend and will be remembered forever. May he Rest In Peace and may God comfort his family. Semper Fidelis, “J.R.”
