There are so many wonderful stories I could share about Bob, but this story says it all. Over 20 years ago a handsome tall young man offered his sevices as a Religion Teacher. He was an answer to a prayer! At that time very few men were in Religious Education. Here was a young ,easygoing funloving young man who wanted to share his deep Faith.So many young men were in need of this kind of mentor that they could look up to and emulate..I was right and his Wednsday night class was a great success. That same year we had a Confirmation class on Sunday morning in the rectory. They were a lively group to say the least! The teacher was a soft spoken sweet young woman and needed help to keep order. I asked Bob if he could give her a hand and he said sure.After his first class with the Confirmation class, myt daughter Caroline who was in the class said the new guy helping really helped but boy did he have big shoes.The melding of the strong funny young man and sweet faithfilled woman changed that group.( By the way the sweet young woman was Lynn) This group of young women stayed close to Lynn and Bob long after Confirmation At Bob an Lynn's wedding big young men borrowed cassocks from our priest so they could serve the Wedding Mass and the remainder of this group made up the choir. So loved was this couple.The man with the big shoes had an even bigger heart and Faith,He touched many lives including my family.
