There are many of our classmates from Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School who remember Bob (or as we think of him, "Bobby") as one of the best friends we had in school. Everyone was a friend with him because of his great personality even after his accident. One of our classmates, Tony Wolfe was waiting for Bob -- and they are real blessings for each other. "We'll stand together . . ." always!

To Peggy and the family: I just heard today of Bob's passing. My heartfelt sorrow go with you for your loss. I last saw Bob with his activities with the rescue squad but knew him for many years before that. I met him when I moved to his neighborhood in 1949. Although he was a bit older than me he befiended me immediately and we became friends from that time on. I very much valued his friendship, wisdom and easy manner and will forever miss him gereatly. Sincerely, David S. Dwyer Chief, Ret., B-CCRS

To the Wheeler family, I have so many fond memories of Bobby from when I was just a little boy! Riding in tow trucks learning from the best Having dinners Washing his hand And his teaching my sisters and me how to tie our shoes with one hand But the best was his bright smile when he was doing the things he enjoyed (Riding his Norton Motor cycle with one hand Helping everyone and towing cars Rip Bobby

This is a great loss to us all. Mr. Bob was an awesome man to work with and he always told you the truth. He stood up for those that could not stand for themselves. He always put a smile on my face when I saw him. He never let anything get in his way and he just loved working with people. He will be truly missed-He has been misse dsince he left Wake County Public Schools-I know that he is in a better place-May Gob Bless you all and our hearts go out to you all- Teresa Williams & Staff at Sanderson Transportation

Mr. Bob, even though this is a sad time for us all, I want you to know that we all have wonderful memories of you in our hearts. You are at peace now with our Lord and Savior. Thank you Mr. Bob (Mr. Charles) for your kindness and friendship over the years at Wake County Bus Garage. You always had kind words to share with me and my brother Charles, whom you thought so much of. I will always cherish your thoughtfulness. May God continue to bless your family and give them the strength in the days to come. Respectfully, Christine Burrell Williams (Miss Sara)

Dearest Peg, I'm so sorry to learn of Bob's death. I remember fondly the get togethers at your Maryland home. Be was always gracious and welcoming to me. I know you will miss him greatly. Love, Lola

I was so sorry to hear that Mr. Wheeler had died. Please accept my deepest condolences over your loss. Mr. Wheeler was a good man and he will be deeply missed. May the support of family and friends and your many cherished memories comfort you. May our Heavenly Father bring you peace. 2 Corinthians 1:2,3; John 11:21-26 You are in the thoughts and prayers of many.

Dear Peggy, My prayers go out to you at this time, I've been a member of TRPM since around 1984 and I remember Bob very well. Betty and I talked about you and he from time to time in our weekly conversations. I hope you are able to find some comfort in your time of loss.

Bob ! I thank the good Lord for guiding you to mentor me on my road. Peggy , I thank you for guiding Bob !!! Now that Bob , Ralph and Jack are together let us pray for our Good Lord God Bless Eric Staudinger

Dear Peggy & Family, There are no words to express my deep sorrow that my dear "adopted Brother Bob" is no longer here to give me those pep talks that I so often need, nor will I receive another "Brother Bob letter". I'm sure there is a roundtable up there in Heaven and he will continue to discuss his Book of Proverbs with his family & friends that have been waiting for him. Peggy, Bob loved you dearly and was so proud of his children and grandchildren. I'm so sorry that I can't be there with you and the family during this sad time. My Thoughts & Prayers are with all of you. My Love to All of You, Betty
