Robert M. O’Neill, a wonderful person and a fine man. My heart goes out to Peggy and the entire O’Neil family as I ponder his passing. I know they will find peace in knowing they have been the most treasured of his experiences in life, his love, his devotion, his all. As I read his obituary, I was not surprised in all that he accomplished all that he did for others, and all that loved Bob. I am truly at a loss by hearing this news. I believe we need more men such as Bob to lead the way into actively giving ourselves in service to others and to our Lord. He has been a bright light in all our reunions as we are drawn to people of character, devotion to duty, honor, and love in their heart.  We will remember our brother graduate as his name is now written on the other list, yet his name remains written in all our hearts and in our prayers.
