I will miss my dad a lot. I thank God that his suffering is over. In our last conversation I told him how proud of him I am and how proud I an to be his son.

Sorry to hear about Bob, I always enjoyed seeing him when he came to visit Grandma Gaffney and my mother Dorthy. He was always smiling and gave you a big warm hug. He will be missed

Marti - So sorry to hear of Bobs passing. What a great guy he was. Always a smile on his face. He will be sorely missed.

WHAT A WONDERFUL MAN! I FIRST MET BOB IN THE 70'S WHEN MY HUSBAND WAS AN OFFICER OF RWDSU LOCAL 11O. I LATER HAD CONTACT WITH HIM AT THE BARGAINING TABLE WHEN HE MEDIATED CONTRACTS I WAS NEGOTIATING.. HE WAS A MENTOR AND TEACHER AND I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER HIS MANY KINDNESSES AND THE WISDOM AND KNOWLEDGE HE PASSED ON TO ME AS A NEWCOMER. MAY HE REST IN PEACE.!

I am deaf; I use sign language. And I am employed at the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service in Washington, DC. Robert, however, retired before I came on board at the agency. One day about 20 years ago, he stopped by the agency, possibly to look up some old friends. We both didn't know each other - but somehow bumped into each other. He started to chat with me; I immediately informed him of my deafness. He quickly switched into sign language, saying that his parents were deaf!

Marti, our prayers are with you. Bob was a wonderful guy. We'll miss him. May those great memories sustain you until you meet Bob again as God has promised.

Love, The Ferriers

Marla, I'm saddened at the news of Bob's passing. God's grace will help you get thru these difficult days and I want you to know that I never stopped caring. Betty and I stand ready to help ---let us know. God Bless!
