Jeanne and Family,
I am writing to express my deepest sympathies to you and your family. I was very saddened to hear about Bob, he was a remarkable person.

I had the honor and pleasure of being mentored by Bob when I first joined Walter V. Clarke Associates and owe much of what I know about the AVA and human behavior to him. We worked as colleagues for over nine years and during that time he was always supportive of me and the staff of WVC. I had the greatest respect for him. I was very fortunate to have such a man as a mentor.

The community of AVA is filled with people who respected and cared about Bob and collectively morn his passing.

Sincere condolences,

Dan O’Hara

Jeanne,

Peace in all things,

MY UNCLE BOB…WHAT AN INSPIRATION YOU HAVE BEEN TO ME MY ENTIRE LIFE. ALWAYS THERE TO SUPPORT ME AND TO GUIDE ME ON MY PATH IN LIFE. YOU WERE A CONSTANT GUIDE FOR ME THROUGHOUT THE YEARS AND WERE ALWAYS THERE TO LISTEN AND GENTLY GUIDE WITH YOUR WORDS. WHEN YOU ARE SORROWFUL LOOK INTO YOUR HEART, AND YOU SHALL SEE THAT IN TRUTH YOU ARE WEEPING FOR THAT WHICH HAS BEEN YOUR DELIGHT. ALTHOUGH IT’S A HEARTACHE NO ONE CAN HEAL, YOUR LOVE LEAVES A MEMORY THAT NO ONE STEAL. THANK YOU FOR ALWAYS BEING THERE FOR ME. AND I HAVE BEEN SO BLESSED AND HONORED IN THIS LIFE TO HAVE SUCH A WONDERFUL UNCLE. ANGELS ARE ALWAYS NEAR THOSE WHO ARE GRIEVING TO WHISPER TO THEM THAT THEIR LOVED ONES ARE IN THE SAFE HANDS OF GOD. AND NOW YOU ARE AN ANGEL. CONSTANT AND TRUE. UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN. ALL MY LOVE, THOUGHTS, AND PRAYERS TO YOU, MY AUNT, AND MY COUSINS…I’M HERE FOR YOU ALL AT ANYTIME.

LOVE TO ALL

Jeanne and Family,

Our deepest sympathies to all of you.  May you find peace and understanding during this time. I wanted to share with you my sincere thoughts about Bob. One goes through life and occasionally meets a truly honest and sincere person that you want to call your friend. Bob was that kind of person.  He and I became really good friends at Black and Decker, starting in the 1970’s. I am sure you know, but Bob always stood by what was right. He would never waiver in his beliefs and people admired him for his sincere and honest approach. While we could not see each other often, we always remained friends, I am a better person for having known him. God Bless all of you.

Jeannie and Family,

I was so sorry to hear about Bob.  I met him when I worked for Black and Decker and have very fond memories of his kind and helpful demeanor.  He was a true gentleman and on more than one occasion guided me with his wisdom.  My thoughts and prayers are with you in this difficult time.

Jeanne, Lynn, Bobby and family-

You have my deepest sympathy.  My parents and Jen send their sympathy as well. 

I have so many cherished memories of Bob welcoming me into your home and into your family.  I will always remember him as a generous and kind man with a fantastic sense of humor.  He was a wonderful role-model for me during some difficult years.  I am blessed to have known him.

Words do not do justice to our loss.  I look forward to sharing hugs and stories with you and your family, Saturday.

Most Sincerely,
Steve Horning

Mrs. Drinane, Bob & Juli, Lynn & Dan and the Drinane Family-
