Condolences to you and your family, Boo!  I cherish the remembrance of the time that our families lives touched.  Bob was a wonderful influence with my children and Mike often talks about his terrific friendship with Craig.  
The Lord Bless you and Keep you, Elizabeth Vanier (Mike, Jon, Lynne)

I always remember Mr Shaner as our teacher @ Whitepass. I think I can speak for all his Students at Randle, We all were excited when Bob and his lovely Wife came to our all school reunion last year. He was a great teacher and Friend. God bless his family and he will be missed by all.

Bo - I just found out today about Bob and I was at my luncheon with my 1966 classmates so I couldn't get to the memorial.  My heart broke when I heard the news.  Mom loved him so and spoke often about him.  Know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and the family.  Memories are wonderful.

Mr.Shaner touched many lives. I remember he was one of the hardest working people at Tumwater. '76 will never forget him.

So sorry to hear of Bob's passing, it is always hard to lose another member of the family. I really enjoyed the photo gallery. I love the picture of Bob with Aunt Hannah and Uncle Tom. It is such a great picture of all of them. Another favorite of mine is Bob and Beulah's wedding picture. I can remember looking at it every time I was at Aunt Hannah's home. They have always been such a stunning couple. My love and prayers to the family.

Sorry to hear about Bob. I'm sorry I won't be able to make the service. I'll be in Arizona visiting my daughter. My brother and I send our condolences.

What a great man he was and a great teacher as well.When I was in high school he was my shop teacher and he taught me so much.Then for years he was part of our family. I will never forget that awesome smile he had. God has you now and there is no more pain. God love you. Debbie (Johnson) Murrell

What a gentleman and a gentle man, a real class act and a pleasure to work with.  I got to know Bob (Mr. Shaner, as we called him at school) and his beautiful wife Boo while working at Tumwater High School.  What a classy couple, their love for each other just glowed around them.  I always looked forward to their hugs at the front gate coming into the football stadium.  Even as ill as he was, every game here they would come holding hands with big smiles on their faces.  We loved you Bob and you will be missed.  Boo, you and your family, will be in our thoughts and prayers.

Mr. Shaner was always so calm, cool and collected!  He never seemed to get stressed and he was so kind.  And his beautiful bride Mrs Shaner supported his love for Tumwater High all through the years.  You made an impact on a lot of lives!

A Tumwater legend, always and forever. May he rest in peace.

Too many great memories with Coach Shaner to list here.  A very special leader.  I am fortunate to have had him in my life.
