In memoriam

Robert L. Erb 1951-2024

Robert L. Erb, known as "Bob" or "Mike" to family and friends, passed away in July. He was a dedicated employee of Campus & Building Services (formerly Campus Events), who worked part-time on night shift at Messiah for more than 30 years. For 25 of those years, he also worked full-time at United Methodist Children’s Home. 

“Bob had a passion for the students here and worked closely with them in cleaning the Lottie kitchen. He felt it was important to instill good work habits in the student team. He loved working here and having fun with his coworkers. Bob was an important team member and will be dearly missed,” said Vice President for Operations Kathie Shafer.

We extend sincere condolences to his wife Sondra, family, friends and colleagues.
