Dear Pam and family,
I am so sorry to read of Bob’s death today.He was such a friendly, outgoing person, and Mel and I always enjoyed his knowledgeable comments on the radio.
He was Mel’s best friend. They really had a bond forged by many years of conducting meetings together. Now he and Mel are both gone in the same year. So sad.
My sympathy goes out to you and your family,
MaryBeth Barutio
Pam,

Love Tammy Stinson
On behalf of the staff, board, and youth of Wyman we extend our deepest condolences to Pamela, to all the family and loved ones of Bob. We remember his remarkable generosity, his kindness and warmth, his support for our mission, and as a true champion for children and youth. We are so very sorry for your loss.
Pam,
I was sorry to hear about Bob’s passing.
He was a neat guy. I’m glad I had the opportunity to know him.
To Bob’s wife, Pam, and his family,
I was one of the people who Bob helped when I first met him in 2012. I’m certain I speak for a group of Bob’s friends when I say he was a bright light in our weekly meeting. He was always positive and encouraging, especially to those who felt defeated or hopeless in their own lives. And Bob visibly suffered with his physical health issues though he rarely complained. I will always treasure our talks and the selfless example Bob set by reaching out to help others.
To Bob’s wife and family, please accept my sincere condolences on the passing of Bob. Greg called me and told me. Bob and Mel were very instrumental in helping me get my life in order. I know Bob, like me was a dog lover, and he was so kind when my pup died.
I moved from St.Louis over 10 years ago but stayed in FB contact with Bob. We used to catch up frequently at various cigar emporiums around St. Louis.
Great guy and very giving of his time.
R.I.P. old friend…
