Bob was so special. I will always be grateful for the help he gave Jay ensuring that he was able to achieve eagle scout. It was so obvious how much he loved his family. You were all such good neighbors. May your wonderful memories sustain you during this difficult time. You are all in my prayers.

Bob & I were best friends for the year I lived in Plainfield, 1960 to 61. He was my Best Man when Ann & I married in December, 1966. Although we did not share a lot of time together over the following years, we did keep in touch, mainly thru Christmas cards & updates. I am SOOOO glad we made a few personal contacts during the past 4 years, once Ann & I decided to move back to Virginia. Some of my fondest HS memories include Bob and our common interests and mutual respect for each other. On several occasions we gathered at his house with numerous friends to play "spin the Bottle"!!!
On Jan 20, 1961 Bob came over to my house to help me shovel out our driveway from the snow storm. Then we headed to his house where we watched the inauguration of JFK after cleaning the snow from his driveway.
I am proud to have called Bob a good friend, and even more proud to have had him call me a friend! He will surely be missed by all who knew him and I have a very deep hole in my heart that will never be full again. God Bless, Bob, Rest in Peace!

Dear Janet, Jimmy, Dave and Eric,
I was so very lucky to be your next door neighbor for a brief time in NC. We shared so many wonderful dinners and special times together. I was also fortunate to have met your sons and only grandson at the time, Jimmy, Dave, Eric and Jake. My heart broke when you moved but I realize that your move to Aldie, VA was probably the best move in your lives.
Bob's accomplishments and the lives that he enriched while he lived is the gift that we all search for. There is no doubt in my mind that he fulfilled his life's purpose guided by our Lord and Savior and the mansion that has been prepared for him in Heaven will be very special. He'll be there to meet us all when our time comes.
I know how much you and your family will miss him, but his memory will always be alive in the faces of your sons and grandsons. I will miss him too.
My sincerest condolences.
With love always, SAM
I remember meeting Mr. Lynd at a KDR national conclave many years ago, and admiring the way that he presented himself and interacted with others. As president of a new chapter of the fraternity at Radford University many years ago, he sent me a lengthy personal letter of congratulations that I still vividly remember. As a young man Bob impressed me very much with his words of wisdom and encouragement. He served as a role model for me, as he did for many other young men, always demonstrating "honor above all things". Thank you, Mr. Lynd! I offer my sincerest condolences to the family.
Janet,
Though we didn't see each other much over the years, I have always had a special place in my heart for you and Bob. As far back as our KDR days, he was always there as a friend and a mentor. This world has been better because of his life and the contributions he made to family, friends, and community. His laughter and presence are now in the heavens, and it is a better place because Bob is there. God bless you and your family. He will be missed.
Dear Janet,
I mourn with you. Bob's love for you, and others will always be remembered by me. He met me with encouraging words many times I sought your assistance via email, telephone, or face to face. The smile on his face, and inside his heart, brought sunny days for me and all those families he helped at the Loudoun Shelter. May you and your family rest knowing that the memories left behind will keep you strong and at peace.

My name is Bill Moore. I mourn your loss. But I wanted to share one memory. It was at Camp Highroad at a men's retreat for Arcola. All the men lumbered into the social hall, and I suspect many of the attendees were like me....wondering what we got ourselves into, and did I really need to be here for this event? Bob was our group leader. Who was this guy anyway? Well, who he was was a very talented speaker who had a knack for gaining rapport with everybody. His whole presentation for the remainder of that weekend was a "me too!" kind of experience where we shared stories and sang the songs. Bob was the one who guided the group and made the weekend what it turned out to be: a time of fellowship and a closeness that still burns brightly in my memory. That was his talent with everything he did. He made you feel like he was just like you, with the same struggles, the same tough questions, the same dreams and hopes that we all had..
Thank you Bob....
Bill.
Dear Janet, Jimmy, Dave & Eric,
