My sympathy to the family of Mr. McBurney. He was one of my science teachers at Taft Middle School in the 1970s. He was a great teacher.

Janice and family, my sincere sympathies are sent to you upon the passing of Bob. As a fellow teacher along with you and Bob at Iowa Valley I remember Bob as such a true gentleman, soft spoken and dedicated to the cause of education.--Marilyn Rodgers

Janice and family, Bob was one of the first people to welcome us to the Taft family many years ago. I can still remember him tapping those polished wingtip shoes in delight as we shared classroom stories daily in the teachers' lounge! Early on, he taught us that you needed 2 things if you wanted to be an educator---a thick skin and a sense of humor! We were blessed to have Bob as a mentor! Thinking of you, Terry and Linda

You have our deepest sympathy. Bob and I started Taft at the same time. Saw him many times at the 42nd street donutland. He will be missed. Les and Diane Santee

I would like to extend my sympathy. I have such happy memories of both Mr. and Mrs. McBurney, two of my favorite teachers in Marengo. Thank you both. You made a difference in my life.
