    My thoughts and prayers go out to the McCullom family, when I began funeral service at Hollomon-Brown Funeral Home in Norfolk I was licensed under Bob. The knowledge he shared with me allowed me to grow and become the funeral director I am today. He always had a kind and gentle spirit. Even though many years have passed I have always considered him a dear friend, he will be truly missed.

    With a heavy heart, I’m so saddened by his passing. My heartfelt condolences go out to his family. He was great to work with. I worked at Quantico National Cemetery just shy of 10 years and left there to work at Arlington National Cemetery in June 2013. From the time I met Bob in 2003, we hit it off well and became friends and established a good working relationship. When Bob came to the cemetery with a family, he gave it 110%, and he gave it his due best because everything he did was professional. I’ll miss you Bob. Rest peacefully.

    HI Bob rest in peace. You helped my family and I when my wife passed in May, 2013. I am very shocked to read that you’ve also passed. Rest with the Lord.
