"For those of us who were “present at the creation” Bob was instrumental in getting Chesterland Rotary started. Bob and one other Burton-Middlefield member helped us get chartered, guided us through the new club formation process, “gave” us part of their territory and, here’s a biggie, “gave” us what is now our reverse raffle. Their club started the reverse raffle to fulfill what I believe was their Polio Plus obligation and offered to work the next party with us and then let us take it over from there, making it our own. For those of us that were around, that was at the EOUV hall and it became and remains our most dependable fundraiser. Many of us Chesterland Rotarians call Bob “Dad” when he visits our club because of how instrumental he was to our club. We should all remember him in our prayers."
