Everything written below was taken from Bob's facebook posting that he himself wrote. Real sad to read this as I knew Bob personally. If you attended York, Bob was always set up with his son, Robert, on the last row on the wall of the Silver hall.  All I can say is that the model railroad community lost one of the most outstanding repair folks by far. Few were better than Bob. He will be missed by many.

 

I am sad to say that I took my last breath on May 4th. I was surrounded by my family(Lindsay Long, Bobby Karas, Barbara Lawlor, Kaylee Meadows and Linda Rahily) and love!! I had a battle that I was positive I would win but also knew that I would loose..... I am so thankful for all the love and support that my friends and family have given me over the past several mnths. Unfortunately my body and was not letting me win, Plus my wife was calling me home and it was time to come home!!!

To my brothers and sisters, Susan Karas SpangBarbara Lawlor, Ed Karas, Tom Karas.... I leave knowing that you guys have each other and I will be mom and dad watching over you guys!!! I will send them all of your love. I heard all of you guys in the past few day to give mom and dad your love and hugs and I will do that!!
