Sharon & Familu, It was my pleasure to have taught Math along side with Bob for 4 years at Salem Industrial Home. Bob was extremely helpful and professional throughout those years. Always smiling and joking to lift the spirits of others. He truly was a caring person. He taught me to love what I do. After I left Salem, I would check in on him from time to time over the past 10 years. He always made me smile. I thank God that I had the pleasure to be his friend. Part of Bob's legacy lives in me when I continue to teach troubled youth, a passion that we shared. I pray that God comforts you in this time or need.

I'm so sorry to hear of Bob's passing. I worked with him at Salem Industrial School and remember him so fondly. He was such a gentleman and always spoke so well of his wife and daughters. He was always really kind to me and the other teachers. He will be missed.

Bobby was a great teammate of mine for several years. He was a great athlete and a extremely great person that set a positive example for many. My wonderful memories of Bobby will last forever.

So , so sorry for your loss and “our” loss. Bobby was a legend, from the first time I met him (63 years ago) to the last time I talked to him he made me feel so good, his hugs, his handshakes, his kindness was real. Bobby was genuinely the most carrying person you could meet. Bobby willl remain in our hearts, thoughts and prayers. Sincere condolences to the Secret Family.

It was such a shock to learn of Bobby's passing. Teresa and I offer our sincerest condolences to Sharon and the entire Secret family. I will be at the University of Notre Dame next week for a basketball game. When I am on campus, I usually stop by the Grotto to light a candle and to offer some prayers for family and friends. I promise to especially remember Bobby and his family. May Bobby rest in peace and May God Bless His Family. Go, IRISH !!

I was among those who sat on the sidelines and cheered you and the rest of the Hilltoppers to their numerous victories during our years there. Although my family moved to Ohio in the summer before your senior year, my brother Jene Gregoire was a linemen who played football with you from seventh grade through your Junior year. I know you will be greatly missed by your family and many, many friends.

So very sorry to hear of "Mr. Secret" passing - his role as Math teacher at Victory High School was inspirational to me in my teen years (and that's been nearly 50 years ago!). I'll always remember and cherish his smile and very positive attitude toward everyone and every situation. I trust he's at peace now and still smiling as he looks down on us. His life story sounds truly perfect. GOD Bless you all.
