Bob Kirkpatrick was my children's Grade 5 teacher at Brock Corydon School. He was a very influential teacher and inspired them in every way. He was dedicated and kind and will be greatly missed.

Dear Iain & family, Your dad lived an interesting and meaningful life. It sounds like both of your parents encouraged and supported you, in your life's journey. Diane Kelly (Chris Bauer's mom)

Iain, My sincere condolences to you and your family on the passing of both of your parents. They were great people who always treated me with respect and kindness. I know it’s been many years since we’ve spoken, but if you’re at all interested in reconnecting please drop me an email when you’re ready.

I feel privileged to have worked with Bob. He was truly the most gifted teacher who not only cared deeply for his students but also the parents. He was unique and I had the utmost respect for him. My condolences to the family.

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of Mr. Kirkpatrick. My condolences to his family. I was very fortunate to have him ( and Mr. Charach) as my teacher(s) at Brock Corydon School in the late 80s. I have only a handful of teachers that I would say were impactful in my life's learning journey and Mr. Kirkpatrick was one of them. He was the first person I had ever met from Scotland and the first one to introduce me to the sciences and reading, passions that continue today. I remember while in his classroom there were countless older students of his over time that would randomly pop in to the school to say hello and give updates on their lives. Please let this be an attribute to not only his teaching abilities but his personal impact on his students that is obviously long lasting. It brought me great joy to read about his long life and that it was fulfilled full circle.

Iain, I just wanted to send my condolences to you and your family on the passing of your father . Yours thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Take care. Jack Mutter

Bob was one of the most gifted teachers I have ever known but more important he was a man of integrity and true humility. He always had time for others. Students who Mr. K taught were respected, cared for, and affirmed in a way that brought out the best in them. I will deeply miss my friend Bob, who I was blessed to share many meaningful years of friendship with. My deepest condolences to Iain and his family Robert Charach
