Jeanne & family,
Bob was principal at St Rose School when my daughter Hilary attended there. We both enjoyed the programs & spirit he brought with him. He was so kind hearted and soft spoken and the young children all loved him. Hilary enjoyed giving him hugs! You have our deepest sympathy,

Bob, aka 'Bailey' was a dear Sig Pi brother of mine. He shared my first apartment on Clark Street in Stevens Point with brother Jim Degner. I am sorry to learn that Bailey has lost his earthly struggle, but know he has won a greater victory in Heaven. My respect to the family. Tom Harder '71

Bob was a great man! I met him while working on the golf course. He truly was passionate about the game. He spoke very highly of his family and grandchildren. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.
Jeanne, and your whole family- As we read the obituary, our thoughts are many of the travel, family, & experiences Bob shared with others. What a life to celebrate together with family and friends' memories that will help change tears to smiles. His love of golf ...........It's the closest game to the game of life. Yes, .. ...

Jeanne - please know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I am so sorry for your loss. God Bless! Kathy Riske
Bob was a great guy I met the first time when my niece Jeanne Ryan was marrying Bob's son Daniel at Seattle University. He treated the extended family to a pizza dinner party in the wedding couple's honor the night before the wedding. Later, I would see him again in Wisconsin at the Foxfire Golf Shop where he sold me a Foxfire golf cap I still wear around. Some of the stained glass windows he crafted and showed me at his home were and are true works of art! While we will miss Bob, we know he is hitting the 18-holes non-stop upstairs already. Pax vobiscum.
A true friend on and off the golf course. Corrine and Eldon
