Michele , Jeanne, Nathan, and Alexis also Lynne and Jimmy we are so sorry to hear of Bobby's passing. I had spoken to him about a week before and he sounded upbeat about his condition.  Myself and Betsy were out of country for the past several weeks and learned of his passing from Beatle. We always looked forward to seeing him in INDY for the 500. He will be missed by all. Please accept our deepest condolences. Wheaties and Betsy.

This is a very sad day.   Bob was one of the most pleasant, good humored men I know.   He was a regular around our girl scout troop before and after he lost his beautiful wife, Joy, and obviously did a spectacular job raising Alexis and and her siblings.  He and I used to joke about being 'Mainframe dinosaurs' and " we liked it."  Even after losing touch I would think of him, smile and think; 'it would be nice to see Bob again'.   We SHOULD reach out to those friends;  this is definitely my loss.  I know he is back with his beloved Joy again, and I am sending up prayers for his family.    Rest in Peace, Bob.

As always, smiling.

Bob’s passing hit me hard. We grew up in the same neighborhood and were in Cub Scouts together. In fact, “Bobby’s” mom was our Den Mother. It was so great getting to reconnect at our 50th high school class reunion and we’ve stayed in touch via Facebook ever since. May God rest his soul. 💕

Dear Bob, Unfortunately we never had the privilege of meeting you  however we do know from  Lexi and DJ you were a Wonderful and Caring  Father. “Here Comes the Sun It’s Alright” May you RIP in Heaven. Donald & Don Stout DJ’s Grandparents.

Sorry to hear about your dad. I can always picture him with his video camera during anytime we were together. He was an awesome person and glad we got to know him. 

He and your mom will definitely being looking down over the family

Deepest sympathies. At EDS in the late 90s, Bob was a trusted co-worker, knowledgeable of the environment, and dedicated.  What stood out also, his sense of humor was spot on, he was thoughtful in his comments, considerate of those around him.  A good man.  Rest in peace.

Here's Bob managing our workflow at XCC in the 70s. :-) Something was more interesting on a portable TV than the IBM 3270 computer terminals. Those were the days. RIP Bob.

Bob was a good friend in the 1970s at Xerox and throughout our  later Facebook years. I will miss his sense of humor, videos, and all sorts of news from Michigan. Gone way too early.  RIP

My condolences to Bob's family.  I was in Bob's high school graduating class and I have fond memories of him -- always kind, friendly and polite.  Nita Karpf, Castleton, VT

Mickey, Jeanne, Nathan and Alexis and all your families;
I am so sorry to hear of your loss,   Your dad was never anything but kind to me.  Mom and dad were the best neighbors to everyone on Everwild View and I have many fond memories of them.  I remember your dad always telling my boys his father was Mr. Hargreaves and he was just, Bob to them.    You are in my thoughts.  Bette Daloia
