WATERS BRIDGE oven 'rnounuso coMPl.E'rEo Each of us, in one way or another, has something to share with others. Some may share a smile, if only in passing. Others may have tidbits of knowl- edge to impart. Still others have only themselves to share. Let's take the time now to share a few moments of memories with Bob Hoover. The ad- ministrators saw Bob as a cooperative facult member, who was will! ing to do whatever nec- essary to get the job done. Others saw him as the resident brain . To fellow facult members, Bob was incleed a rare individual. He had a special humbleness which enabled him to relate to people of all a es and from all walks of life. Bo had the abili- ty to recognize every- one's uniqueness and to respect that uniqueness. He was an intelligent, sensitive, and soft-spok- en man. His respect, concern, and under- standing for his students . and associates were ex- , emplary His knowledge made him well-respected by all. As an individual, Bob was an avid reader and an engaging conver- sationist. His dry wit and subtle humor added spice to everyone's daily routine. Bob lived a free life. He did his thing and never looked back. He f' B eside you always to 0 ffer a helping hand. B rought a smile to many faces. H ad an 0 ptimistic O utlook. V ery exceptional E ducator and R eally good friend to ft.. was an individual with whom others could also be indi- viduals. He avoided the judgemental attitude that many of us possess. Bob's willingness to help a friend-whether f helping an associate to interpret and enjoy literature, or offering advice on various apsects of personal life-was t yet another admirable quality When Bob talked with friends. he knew when to use humor y or seriousness and when to ex ress f concern. Some remember Bob for f the endless hours spent relaxing on t a sailboat, discussing various philo- sophical issues, with topics ranging from the very serious to the humor- ous. Some remember the mische- r vious and sly smile they once met in the hallways here at CTC. Others 4 remember the get-to-gethers at his f home where he made everyone feel f welcome. Bob left with his family at l CTC a legacy of caring, sharing, and . understanding. And, if you listen closely you can still hear him talk- i ing to, guiding, and advising us through his friends and beliefs that i were left behind. Thanks Bob, for all l you have given us. 1 i l t 5.1 l t l I 5 -l +2 7 ff4i-J..
