R I P Bob. Way too early, The Good Die Young but you are pain-free. We lost a great Man in you Bob and I’ll never forget you. Thanks for looking over my youngster Mike starting back in 1982 when he was just 7 and would hang out with you guys at the Salunga Fire Company when he was over there. 🤗 You kept a watchful eye on his safety! 🙏🏼

What a great guy Bob was. 🙏🏼 I first met him in 1982 when we moved here beside the Hempfield Fire Department and he and Jody were active members. Our son was 7 and Bob and Jody really took a liking to him. You might say took him under their wing for his safety as he started becoming active. RIP my Friend. 🙏🏼

Bob was a great neighbor and person. I appreciated every conversation we’ve shared. His generosity and willingness to help others, whether with a smile, a thoughtful word, or a helping hand, have left a lasting impact on everyone around him. You will be missed. – James, Pam, and David

Bob was a great guy, and always arrived to work wearing that huge smile he was famous for, and as one of his most inexperienced dispatchers, I was beneficial in giving those “smile muscles” a chance to relax! (Unfortunately, his frown and frustration muscles got a workout!). He had a tough job dealing with egos and attitudes, but he was always ready for a challenge…and I gave him plenty of challenges! (I also gave him that one line above his eyebrows, that showed up during moments of shock and disbelief!) Scientists now call it the “HDW” wrinkle, because it became more prominent when Bob would exclaim …He Did Whaaat??”
But he always returned the next day with that big ole smile, ready to do it again. My guess is, that getting home to Mary, and family times, was the reset he needed to keep that smile. It was ever present, even at the last Dispatchers breakfast he attended, nothing could stop it!  
Thank you for the laughs and stories, sorry for the chaos and mayhem, and God bless you for the memories and legacy you left all of us with!

Bob and Mary,
I really wish I got to know you better. I am so sorry that circumstances made it that it never happened. I pray for rest, now, for both/all of you. All my love…

Mary Catherine and all family…I have known Bob for almost 50 years, from JP McCaskey and when we worked at a corner grocery store together. I recently reacquainted at a friend’s funeral last year. I am so sorry to hear of his passing. I know he is pain free but so sad. We talked a few times over the last year, his love for his family was obvious. He talked about his boys and all the family. I hope your memories help you all. I am out of state until Sunday so I’ll miss his service, but I know he’ll be honored and remembered well. Rest in peace my friend. Ken Barton Sr

Bobby!!! Way too soon my friend. Way too soon … Thanks for teaching me 95% of what it meant to be a good Chief Dispatcher. More importantly, you were a good man. To his son’s: I want you two to know how much he loved you. He spoke of you often and it was hard for him when you three were not close because he divorced your mother years earlier. I hope you reconciled all things before he passed. Again, he loved you so much. To all who may read this, remember, tomorrow is not guaranteed. Get right with the man upstairs and hug your family every single day. It’s not goodbye Bobby. It’s see you soon!!!

It was always a pleasure to see Bob’s smiling face, no matter what nightmares were going on, when I showed up at work. I’m so sorry that he is gone, but joyful that he is now comfortable in his place in heaven. XOXO ❤️ Maureen Pottinger
