Went to high school with Bob. My brother and I were new to Carroll in our junior year and knew no one. Was really difficult fitting in back then. Bob was the first friend either of us had at Carroll and made us feel welcome. I will never forget that. So sorry for your loss.

Poppa Haze always made me feel like part of the family. Any conversation always started with asking how my family was, how my kids were doing. Shortly it would turn to cracking jokes and telling endless stories. He was a great man and will be dearly missed. Heaven got a good one.
