What a guy. From the first time I met Bob I was quite impresed with his intellectual prowess combined with his love for people and his warm spirit. Although Bob startled me initially with his ability to speak at a rather rapid pace, I eventually made the aural adjustment and realized what a genius he was. The one word that comes to mind most readily when I think of him is: PASSION. He was deeply passionate about his calling as a man of God, husband, father, teacher, writer, and apologist. He was always ready with an answer. I also will remember his sense of humor. Bob was able to take God and God's Word seriously without taking himself too seriously. I am very pleased that he is a graduate of Faith Seminary. His passion for God and the Bible is what I like to see manifested in all of our graduates. Bob was a unique and exceptional individual whom I will miss deeply. The prayers of all of the faculty and staff at Faith Seminary are with Gretchen and the family. May the ministry of the Passantinos go forward.
