Bob and I sat on different sides of the table. But we respected each other. He was a man of principal who spoke his mind. He one time said I was too sarcastic. That might have been the pot calling the kettle
black. I know he will be missed by his family and many friends. And his expertise at his craft will leave a hole at the workplace.

Don Kimsey
Rest In Peace Bob.
Bob and I had a long relationship battling on the field in American Legion Baseball. As a former manager
of Richard C. DuPont Post 18 Aviators team we had the same vision. The league and players. I am hopeful
the team secures another Championship in honor of him. Bobs devotion to the American Legion was second
to none. He gave his all to Stahl Post in every aspect, not just the baseball. He will be a big lost and hopefully
there will be others that follow in his footsteps. Our first time meeting (Bob n I) was through the relationship my father, Donald F. Kimsey (Former Legion Baseball Chairman), built with his father Lew, back in the seventies. The Anderson family have been a family spirit for Joseph B. Stahl Post 30. God bless the family moving forward.
Respectfully, Donald “Don” L. Kimsey – Legion Baseball and Youth Sports Enthusiast.
