1972 – 2010
Five days ago, Bob celebrated his 38th birthday. Sunday night he died suddenly from a massive heart attack.
Hard to believe it’s been five years since we lost Corrie, and now another from our close high school group is gone. We had so many great times just doing mindless things teenagers do to manage the awkward claustrophobia of high school. Cracking open my old yearbook, I’m reminded that he left me a full page of script. Amid all the inside jokes and well-wishes for life at OSU, are these words which seem so fitting in return:
I guess a lot of things happened this year, probably more than anyone expected. You’re going to be missed a lot around here. Nobody will have anybody to “rumble” with while you’re gone.
So, rest well sir. You were a great friend and from what I understand, a great family man. You leave behind two cute kids, and my heart goes out to them. I do hope they will remember you well. I will.
