Dear Dauchy Family: We offer our most sincere condolences on Bob's passing. Time has a way of moving oh so quickly, catching us unaware of passing years. Although great distances separated the many decades I remember Bob as my early best friend. Many stories to tell about just being kids. Running around the old Erie Canal locks & Quaker Oats silo rail yards downtown Akron, hitching a ride with his parents going to their locksmith business. Fall, 1957, 8th grade, BolichJH, CFO, football players, living five blocks apart. Bob invites me to a party at his house, but only if I'd bring my portable single 45 rpm record player! He introduced me a beautiful girl living just a block away from him, both were in the same home room. Bob sure helped me then as that lovely girl and I will be married 51 years this June. Thanks, Bob. We were so impressed reading of Bob's achievements, accolades, acknowledgements, an entire life experience dedicated to helping others, always helping others. They say "it's not what you gather, but what you scatter that tells what kind of life a person lived." The way Bob must have lived his life surely was a gift to those who came after. He was the man!
