Craig and I would like to our extend our deepest condolences on the passing of Bob. I just saw this today and was so saddened. We will always remember how kind he was to us when we came to Oshkosh in 2000 and showed us at least 14 houses in one day. He had the patience of a saint. You are having n our thoughts and prayers Melody.
So sorry for your loss, Melodi. Praying for you and your family.

It was so sad to hear of Bob’s passing. Though I haven’t seen Bob since high school, I have many good memories of him, especially at Campus School. He loved the Beach Boys (I once gave him the Good Vibrations single as a birthday gift) and we would gather at his home on Algoma Blvd to listen to their latest album, while we read cryptic answers about the girls in our class in his Magic 8 Ball. In the fall there were weekend pickup games of tag football (even though only tag, Bob always seemed to breaking his nose; this could be passing time inflating one or two instances). And speaking of football, I remember in school, in the flag football league, the time our coach huddled all us wanna-be Packers on the sideline for a trick play, where Bob remained at the sideline, but standing on the field, while the rest of the non-playing team crowded around him, just off the field. We prayed the referee wouldn’t notice that there appeared to only be 10 players waiting for the ball to be snapped. And it worked! The ball was snapped and Bob ran downfield, unguarded, to catch a touchdown pass. (Of course this play only worked once). I still have a faded photo on my wall of our 9th grade art class standing around Mr. Hodges van for a group photo. Bob, Mike Porter and I are on the van’s roof with our right hands tucked inside our dress shirts, Napoleon Bonaparte-style. Bob made for a very tall, blonde Napoleon. The other testimonials here reflect the good and happy life Bob lived since I last saw him, which helps lessen the sadness I feel. I send my condolences to his family and friends.

We only got to know Bob for a few short months but in the short amount of time he made us feel as though we were family. Bob had such a warm smile and calming presence. He was always so positive and it was such a joy when he called or came to our home. Things will just not be the same and he will be very missed. Melodi, Matt and Melissa- you are in our thoughts. Warmest hugs and blessings, The Butcher family
I knew Bob since I 'skipped' from 2nd to 4th grade at Campus School and joined his class. I had a fierce and unrequited crush on him till 9th grade, which he tolerated with grace and humor. He was a swell guy as a kid and as an adult, funny and kind, and it was wonderful to see him find and nurture true love, happiness, and fulfillment with Melodi so early in life. They grew up beautifully together, and their shared joy was and remains an inspiration to their family and friends. Bob will be deeply missed and fondly remembered.
We knew Bob from his helping us purchase our first home almost 15 years ago. He was so patient with us and shared his wisdom to help us get find just the right fit for us. We are saddened to hear of his passing, but rejoice in knowing that he is with his Savior
