Condolence: All has already been said. Worked with Bob at PPPL for years and we enjoyed many conversations. His sense of humor and smile I will always remember. Bob was very confident and generous. He helped many people.

Condolence: Kathy, As one of three or four of your next door neighbors during the 40 years you lived in Skillman, I was grateful of the experience as our children matured into adulthood. We both know it can be challenging to be the parent of a teenager, but you and Bob managed with grace and dignity to raise two beautiful, wonderful and accomplished daughters. Bob's service to the community was widely recognized and appreciated by those who knew him although it sometimes appeared that few knew the many hours he generously and selflessly donated to the residents of Montgomery Township. My favorite memory was the Christmas Eve visit by Santa Claus to Meadow Run where your grandchild was excited to see the Fire Truck (driven by your next door neighbor) deliver Santa with a gift. Bob certainly loved his grandchildren and loved spending time with them. Best, Denis

Condolence: On behalf of the Catholic Community of St. Charles Borromeo, Montgomery Twp. NJ, I send to the Kress family our sympathy in this time of sorrow. Please know my spiritual closeness to you at this time. Bob was an important part of the history of the Township, as well as the history of this parish. It was a special grace to have shared so many important moments with the Kress family. What a great team Kathy and Bob were! And how proud he was of his darling daughters, their fantastic husbands, and the grandchildren in whom he found such joy. Bob was a gracious man of faith, and I was personally helped as pastor by his kindness and support. We will never forget him. And we live by the great promise of our faith: life is changed, never ended. We will one day see Bob again. Peace to his spirit.

Condolence From: Sandy & Andy Childress
Condolence: Sandy & Bob first met as juniors at Fitch HS in Groton. We had many classes together but junior year English stands out. We had to do a source paper for Mr. Nelson who was very strict. When ask why Bob hadn't completed sone part, he said "I just got my hair cut and like Samson, I lost all my strength". The class roared, Mr. Nelson did not. Bob never lost his zest for his grandkids, his Red Sox or his golf & we enjoyed discussing these & so much more at our ocasional lunches with Bob & Kathy. He was very competitive and it showed in his golf. No matter the affect of age he still thought his next shot would go in the hole. From now on all his shots will be "Hole-in-ones". We will miss him greatly.

Condolence: Dear Kathy and family. We were very sorry to hear about Bob’s death. He was a great neighbor and a good friend to us for the 15 years that we lived in Skillman. He was always generous with his time and help and always with that sunny, slightly wry smile and a twinkle in his eyes that was Bob. I remember playing many rounds of golf with him and John Teipel and we always had a good time whatever the scores were at the end. The repartee between Bob and John kept it light and was, at times, just plain hilarious. And, please excuse me, but I can attest that Bob broke 100 many times. We had good times together as families as well which made our years in Skillman so memorable. Well played, Bob. Our deepest condolences go to all of the family.

Condolence: While I knew "Mr. Kress" as a neighbor and father to my friend Julie growing up, we formed an even more special bond through my own Dad's passing. The tribute he gave to my Dad was so special and showed the depth of their friendship and Mr. Kress's kindness. Mr. & Mrs. Kress continued to touch base with me, sending a memory about my dad, a photo of my parents as the years passed. I am very grateful to have experienced Mr. Kress's friendship and can only hope my dear thoughts of him give some comfort as his words gave to me in sad times. My condolences to you, Mrs Kress, Julie and Joanne and the rest of your family.

Condolence: Kathy & Family Our deepest condolences on your loss. Bob was a fine man who will certainly be greatly missed. May you find comfort in the fond memories of a loving and devoted husband, father, and grandfather as we do of a very dear friend. We have shared many wonderful times together over the past 50 years, took many fine trips, but the ones we took to Myrtle Beach and Hilton Head, which Bob planned so well, will always be such special memories to be treasured. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Judy & Bob

Condolence From: Mary Anne & Tim Ryan
Condolence: Kathy & Family, The angels have gained a generous and kind neighbor. We were so sorry to learn of Bobs' passing and know what a loss this will be for you and all who knew him. He was a wonderful neighbor to us for fifteen plus years, always had a story to share and eager to hear what the kids nextdoor were up to. He enjoyed his Boston Red Soxs & New England Patriots, this was sometimes a little tough to swallow as the Yankee & Giant fans on the other side of the driveway! But mostly we remeber how excited he was to become a grandfather and cherished any time he could spend with Ryan, Nick & Lily - those were his happiest stories to share. A true gentleman and friend, he will be missed. Know you are in our prayers during this difficult and sad time. God Bless Mary Anne & Tim

Condolence: I was lucky to work with Bob on the construction of the Princeton boathouse renovation and addition, for which I was the architect.
