Robert J. Plump Jr.
December 2, 1958 - November 30, -0001

"Bob was the man. We camped together as young kids, ran track in High School, and shared many laughs. Bob you will be missed. You finally get to have your race with Pre. Many condolensces to Bob's family, from a long time friend. May you find comfort in the many great memories he left to you."

"Karin, Johnny and Jamie, From my family to yours, we wish you nothing but peace and happiness for many years to come. You will be in our thoughts and prayers. Times like these are never easy and there are no words of mine that can take away the sadness or emptiness that you are feeling. Johnny and Jamie, I too lost my dad at a young age and there isn't a day that goes by that I don't miss him or think about him. All I can do is let you know how much your dad was truly loved and appreciated by the way he touched the lives of so many others like myself. From the first time I met him we hit it off instantly. Bob was a lot like me, brutally honest and a loyal friend that you knew you could count on. We had a lot of fun times together from our pick up games in basketball out at Walton Verona High School, to our trip in Las Vegas or whether it was just going out and having fun with friends. I always knew that Bob was a true and honest friend. However, the thing that he valued and loved the most was his wife and kids. When I was around him most of our conversations were about you, his family. He loved you more than words can say and always wanted what was best for you all. I too can honestly say that I loved quot;Bobby Plump quot; and will miss him dearly. Rest in peace Bob and I will see you again one day. Dro!"

"Karin, Johnny, Jamie and all of Bob's family, please take some comfort from the fact that Bob was truly loved and admired by so many friends. My brother worked with Bob at an airline in Atlanta. Many years later when the time came that I needed a friendly face and guidance as an interviewing candidate at Bob's employer, he opened his arms in friendship to me. He was there for me, and I was a complete stranger to him. He will be missed and thought of often by so many people."

"Simply stated - Bobby was the best uncle! He taught me how to ride a bike, drive a car and love people. He was a beautiful person who adored his family. He will forever be missed. Love, Kristen, T.J., Ashley, Joseph, Jack and Harrison"

"Karin, Johnny and Jamie, our thoughts and prayers are with you. Bob was such a great guy. Jeff and I always thought he had such a warm and welcoming presence. His booming voice and laugh could always bring a smile to your face. I know Bob and Jeff spent a lot of time talking about basketball, the kids and just life. Bob used to help me entertain 3 year old Will at the girls' games. Will always looked forward to sharing his snacks and toys with Bob. It warmed my heart to see Bob taking an interest in my little guy. But, that was Bob. I hope you can feel our hug coming to you through this message. We are so sorry for your loss. Sincerely, The Schemenauer Family "

"Bob will forever be in our hearts. His gregarious personality was always a breath of fresh air. He had a unique talent for welcoming each person he met with warmth. We could always look forward to a hearty handshake, slap on the back or enveloping hug each time we met. When Bob entered the scene, you could count on engaging conversation with a master storyteller. We found ourselves chuckling days later as we recalled one of his stories, replete with his unique view of any situation. Our hearts were always lighter after an encounter with Bob and we are richer for having known him. Our love and thoughts are with you."

"Karin and family, I was truly saddened to hear of Bobby's passing, such an old friend from our high school days and beyond. I remember the last time we saw each other and how proud he was of his family and of course that huge smile. You are all in my thoughts at this truly difficult time."

"Karin, Johnny and Jamie Bob is so loved; his light will forever shine on the people he touched. I amp;rsquo;m so sorry, may the support of friends and family and the love of God bring you comfort in the days ahead. Bob, you will be missed by many. I appreciated your friendship, your desire to want the best for your family as well as everyone else you came into contact with, and your competitive/intense nature. Thanks for helping us win the last organized basketball league I ever played in. It was fun showing the younger players we still had the skills to beat their butts."

"Karin, Johnny, Jamie, We are so saddened to hear about the passing of Bob. He had such a great sense of humor and fun. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you. God Bless, Dave, Joanne, Evan, Dylan"

"Karin, Johnny and Jamie, We were shocked and saddened to hear of Bob's passing. We will keep each of you in our thoughts and prayers. Sam,Kris,Sam,Katie and Matthew Hollon"

"Dear Karin, Johnny and Jamie, I never had the privilege of knowing you all, but certainly had the honor of being able to call Bob one of my friends. We worked together for over 10 years and always had a very deep respect for one another to go along with our friendship. Words don't do much to comfort a family in times like these, I wish they could. But do know that my, and my family's thoughts and prayers are with you all. Bob was a wonderful person who has left lasting impressions upon a mulitude of people, in that regard his spirit will always be with us and we have all been blessed to have known him."

"To the Plump family, Bobs passing leaves a wound that will no dought take time to heal. But when you think of the good times add this to the list. I interviewed with Bob at Omni and found out real quick that Bob was a hoot to be around. I was on the recieving end of a huge bear hug during our interview process. We were all nervious and had just been offered jobs and I made some light hearted comment to ease the tension in the room. Everybody else is shaking hands and Bob quot;O quot; was hugging. When we were in water survival training after the pool session in the locker room Bob saw an opportunity to snap a towel at one of our classmates backside. We all rolled on the floor with laughter. Bob was larger than life and alot of fun to be around. He will be missed at Omni. Clear skies and tailwinds Bob quot;O quot;"

"I met Bob in new hire ground school in Tulsa. He is very sincere and I will miss him. God bless."

"I wanted to relay my deepest sympathy to Plump family for the loss of Bob. He will be missed more than he could have know. Dr. Phillip Dinn"

"To the Family of Bob Plump, I was very saddened to hear of Bob's passing. I had the distinct pleasure of being in the new hire class with Bob. Bob was always good for a laugh or two for he had a way about him that brightened the day. I will always hear in my head a particular saying he had when he got an instructor's question right. He will be missed."

"Karin, Johnny amp;amp; Jamie, We are so sorry to hear of Bob's passing. I will remember the support he always had for our basketball team and how much of a team guy he was. He was interested in all the boys and always talked about how well we played together. I hope you find peace in the coming months and years. We will have you in our thoughts and prayers. Jeff, Karen, and Conner Lash "

"Karin, Johnny, amp; Jamie, I was deeply saddened when I learned of Bob's passing. Bob was truly a character amp; one of my favorite YMCA characters. I always enjoyed the time I got to talk to Bob @ the front desk about different sports when he'd come to the Y. My favorite memory of Bob was when he'd come into the Y with Jamie. I also work at Clearcreek Elementary and I would pick on Jamie @ recess because I knew she was a YMCA kid. Well they would come in and Jamie would see me and laugh and stick her tongue out @ me and Bob would always tell her to apologize even if she was joking, after the apology, EVERY time, Bob would turn his back and Jamie would giggle and do it again. Bob would just stare @ me and say quot;She did it again didn't she Ian? quot; and would just shake his head and smile. I'm going to miss Bob not coming in anymore. I enjoyed black shades and Jersey-style fist pounds. May you find comfort in God during his tough time. Bob will always be with you as you go on through life. God Bless, Ian"

"Knew each other from H.S. and reconnected at a couple of reunions. A good friend to all with a ready laugh or smile. You will be missed."

"Karin, Johnny amp;amp; Jamie, We are heart broken over the passing of your Dad and husband. In the short two year's we knew Bob he became a very good friend. He was my kind of guy, with a great laugh, great humor, a guy you wanted to be around. We will truly miss him forever and are here for you always. Bret, Debbie, Wes and Elissa Sander "

"Bob and I became friends in 1978 as we worked our way through flight training at Vero Beach and then ERAU in Daytona. Bob was also my roommate at ERAU .We studied and hung out on the beach together. I will never forget Bob and I taking a long weekend to drive my old Buick to N.C.to visit his folks,what a great time! To Bobs family my thoughts and prayers are with you sincerely Halsey Langdon."

"To Bob's family and firends, I just want to pass along my condolences and my prayers for you and your family during this difficult time. Bob was a recent friend of mine, as we interviewed at Omni togehter and worked for DHL in Ohio, but did not know each other. While in training, Bob kept us in laughter and always had a great attitude toward learning and the class. On weekends, I would find quot;hole in the wall quot; places to go eat breakfast, and Bob would join me. We had a great time and he always made me laugh. I will miss his smile and laughter. I will continue to pray for you Karin and your two sons during this time. May God be with you during this time. Sincerely, David Morton"

It has been an honor, a pleasure, a delight to meet and get to know the Plump family through Bishop Fenwick High School and the Bishop Fenwick Boys Basketball Program. Bob was larger than life and a booming presence. He never met a stranger, always willing to extend his hand. His eyes lit up when he spoke of Karin, Johnny, and Jamie. His eyes lit up when he watched Johnny play ball. He always had words of encouragement and an quot;Atta boy! quot; for every boy in the basketball program. What a standup guy. He will be sorely missed. Rest in Peace Bob Plump! The Fink Family"

" Wow sorry to hear about Bobs passing the last time I saw Bob was about 26 years ago when I bumped into him in Florida. He was always a very cool, fun loving, likeable person, I am sure he was that way through out his life. God Bless you Bob, see ya again on the other side. "

"My condolences to you and your family. Bob always meant the world to me. I will miss that crazy man that was my first sim instructor at DHL when I was hired 15 years ago. He had an intensity that was quite unique, but you could always tell the man cared so deeply about what he did and whom he surrounded himself with. Although I haven't seen Bob in years after leaving DHL, I truly miss my conversations with him and his outlook on things. You always knew where Bob stood on a topic, and I respected that from him and the good person he was. My love, thoughts, and prayers go out to you in your time of need and sorrow, God Bless you and you family."

My thoughts and prayers are with Bobby and his family. Love, Nancy Wahler Mayfield"

As neighbors, I will always remember Bob playing with young Johnny. He always spoke with great pride in both Johnny and Jamie. He is one of the few people that I always felt comfortable being around. A very honest and trustworthy man. A dedicated professional at work and loyal friend in life. All of us that had the pleasure to know Bob will miss him dearly. May God be with you and provide comfort in these difficult times."
