Please accept my heartfelt sympathy in Bob’s passing. He taught me history at Trinity High in Louisville in 1958-1959. He hired me to help him run the school’s bookstore. He would pick me up on Sunday mornings and I would be the only person in the school chapel as he said Mass. He came to dinner several times. My family kept in touch with him while he studied in Rome. He told us about some of his adventures and how different Italian meals were from ours. I lost contact with him after I got married in 1968, but remember how thin he had become that last year he served as marriage counselor for the bishop. As I have traveled to various cities I have frequently looked up his name in phone books, but never found him. He was a good friend and mentor for me in my formative years; I presume he was the same for his children and grandchildren. Rest in the peace of the Lord, Bob. You are a good and faithful servant!
