I first had the pleasure of serving with Bob at Dexheim, Germany, in the 12th Engineer Battalion of the 8th Infantry Division. Bob was one of five members of '61 in the battalion during 1963-65. I became a great admirer of his positive attitude, sincerity, dedication and spunk. In 1969, when in command of the 8th Engineer Battalion (of the 1st Cavalry Division), I fought to have Bob assigned to the battalion. He served energetically and magnificently as the S-3 and, then, the XO. Bob was a friend. He was as loyal as the day is long... loyal to his Country, to his God, to his family, to his mission and to his people. I prized his judgment and his advice. He was absolutely set on doing things the right way and was always one thought ahead of developing problems. My only regret is that I didn't have more opportunities to serve with this fine man and outstanding soldier. Scott Smith '56 |
