We are all very sorry to hear about Mr. Harmons passing. He was a cherished person, and an absolute joy to have in our office. We will miss his beautiful smile. Our condolences to his family  from the staff at Greenway Dental Excellence.

My dear friend,   As a fellow "Young at Heart Tapper"   I remember many programs we did together With Bob and David doing all of the gopher stuff.  Those were the good old days.  Days with Louise
yelling at us for our missteps.   I still have the red vest and the shoe bags.  I   still use the bags.  I will miss you terribly.  I hope that one day we will meet again  in paradise.    

So sad to hear of Bob’s passing. He was such a great guy. He will be sorely missed by me. Mountainside Master Chorale will be mourning his loss for some time. I wish I could attend services but in this time it is a real challenge. Rest In Peace Bob.

I knew him about a year. Met him at a local social location. Didn't know his last name, knew him as two beer Bob or Bob the orange guy because he brought me oranges from his tree. Sorry to hear about his passing surprised me. He will be missed.l

I was a member of the “Young at Heart Tappers” with Bob. He told me once to just enjoy dancing - don’t get stressed out about performing - it was supposed to be fun.  We all missed him when he decided to leave the class. My condolences to all of his family. He was such a nice man. 

I knew Bob from our Tap dancing class.  He was always so kind and friendly and greeted me with a hug.  Many times we looked at each other and shrugged our shoulders when we couldn’t quite master a step in class.  I was sorry when he stopped taking the class because I knew I wouldn’t see him often.  But it was great when he stopped by a times to say hello to all of us.  He will be greatly missed by those of us who knew him.  

I knew Bob thru  Young at Heart Tappers.  He was such a kind, and loving person with a big heart.  I enjoyed performing with him and he always would put a smile on all our faces.  
We will miss Bob.  Even though he had stopped tapping he would often stop by to say hello to us all.  
Blessings and I send my sympathy to all that knew him.

Bob was a part of my life for a wonderful 12 years. We met through a chorus that my sister was singing in. Our mutual love of music drew us together. He was a wonderful and loving man and I feel so blessed to have been loved by him. He was a gentleman through and through. You don't find men like him very often. I will hold him in my heart forever.

Bob was such a joy to know. I knew him from my Tap classes at the Upland Senior Center. I always looked forward to seeing him in class and we always greeted each other with a hug. He gave me a hat from Germany because I always wear a hat and he told me he liked my hats. I, along with the rest of our Tap classes , will miss him very much. R.I.P. dear Friend Bob. Hugs to you.

I met Bob when he came to work as a ticket taker at The Park. I knew immediately he might be the last real fentlemen I would meet. I knew he had a lot going on in his life. but he always approached work with a smile and that wonderful laugh.
I could never had known that his daughter Kate and I would become friends and that over 25 years later, he would still be a part of my life.
Bob loved life. He loved to sing, travel and even tap dance. He loved  his family and Spenser, the Grandson he received as a gift just 3 years ago.
He loved us, his friends and we loved him back. 
His smile and laugh and that twinkle he got in his eyes make me smile, even as I write this note.  
Bob was one of a kind. I know he taught me how to smile and laugh in the darkest times.  For that, I thank him. And most of all, I thank the people he loved for sharing him with us.
Much love, Kate, Terri, Eric, Spenser and Janet. My hope is that the wonderful memories he left us all will help to heal the loss in your hearts.

Bob was a very special member of our tap group, the Young At Heart Tappers. He was the first person I met on my first visit to the class in 2007.  When I took over as director several years later, he was very supportive and helpful.  His greeting at every class was "How's it goin', Teach" which always brought a smile to both our faces. He enjoyed performing with us and when he couldn't perform, he volunteered to help backstage.   He also enjoyed our social activities and attended most of our birthday luncheons and Christmas parties for which he always brought the wine.  We will all miss him very much and he will always have a very special place in my heart.

Bob was such a kind man and really loved tap dancing.  Being the only man in the tap class for a time did not seem to intimidate him.  Bob had a cheerful personality and  always welcomed the new tappers  like me into the class.  He will be missed by many.

Bob Harmon was a cherished friend.  We met through Windsong Southland Chorale on their tour of Greece in 2004 (or 05,). 
 He was the epitomy of the word gentleman.  In the course of our friendship, he met my sister, Jan Bellavia, and they became loving friends. My husband  Bob and I  shared many fun times together with them going on singing tours, theater and just getting together.
 We both loved him very much and will miss him as we go forward in our lives.  Deepest condolences to my sister,  Jan, Teri and Kate, his daughters, and family,
Rest in Peace dear RT.

Like all of us, I am certain, I am struggling to find words adequate enough to share what Bob, (or Mr. Harmon, as I playfully called him), meant to me. I first met Mr. Harmon in 2004, when I was 26 years old, and a brand new employee of Working Wardrobes. He right away affectionately referred to me as "kid". I would go on to work for this organization until 2017 and one of the greatest gifts of my long tenure was having Bob be such an integral part of my adult life (he never did stop calling me "kid" - even when I was in my late 30s and it always brought a smile to my face).
Bob was someone who walked the walk. He embodied integrity and commitment and delivered on his values with a delightful sense of humor and unwavering kindness. Anyone fortunate enough to know him was better off because of it. Bob did the right thing for the sake of doing the right thing, never for the recognition or praise. Maybe it's cliche, but they just don't make men like him anymore and the world is a bit more empty now that he isn't in it. But his legacy will forever be felt and never forgotten by those who loved him. Mr. Harmon will forever be in my heart.  With love, Megan
