So sorry for your loss.I watched Bob and Caren, mostly their young brothers .They watched my kids . Kay and Playford were the nicest and friendliest people, always helping others!!

To Bob's family so sorry for your loss. Bob and Caren babysat my kids in Aquilla Village.I grew up there also. Their Mom and Dad were the nicest and giving friends!

So many memories of our life together in school and wrestling, and baseball, and your first wife Peggy, and all the Gang in Aquilla Village we hung out with growing up..We were all one big family..Im thankful to God that he gave us the time here on earth to know each other..Jesus has you now Bob and your enjoying all the spiritual Blessings that God is giving you in His Son Jesus Christ. I remember what you told me when i visited you at Heather Hill Nursing home you said that If you believed in Jesus while you are alive now, that you will never die, you loose this body thats old and decayed and Jesus will give you a new heavenly body, that will never get sick or die..Praise God! Enjoy Heaven my friend. Until we meet again, Love and will miss you

We will never forget you and times around the fire or all of your kindness . We moved to Hartsgrove in the late nintys and before long my daughter Samantha was cleaning kennels and airing the dogs...lol We were so proud when a few years later she would win 2nd place with Sidney. You will be missed. Rest in peace my friend ♡ ♡

Bob, you will be missed greatly. While we haven't been able to spend much time together in our later years, I will forever remember our childhood, time I spent at your parents house, time we all spent running around like little Indians on grandma & grandpa Reckart's farm. RIP

I have many memories of my brother Bob one of the first I remember is being on grandma and grandpa Reckarts farm in W Va. This might sound bad but here goes. Grandma was going to have Chicken for dinner but the chicken had to be killed Grandpa took Bob to the wood shed and they picked out a chicken and Bob and grandpa cut off the chickens head then of course They wanted me to help with another chicken of course I didn't want to but they insisted it was a trip they wanted me to cut off the head I freaked out the chicken got away but they caught it again and they cut off the head while I watched crying over the poor chicken we where very young probably 4 and 5. I remember living in Cleveland and again we were really young Bob use to take me to church on the church bus he was always such the big brother making sure his little sis didn't get lost in the crowd and was safe.

I had the pleasure of meeting Bob and talking to him st a few training events what a great and knowledgeable guy. My condolences

Bob you're a great guy and you will be missed! RIP!

Rip Bob ! Had a lot of great times growing up ! One was our Sunday softball games! And many more! You will be missed !??
