    Sad to say KDKA doesn’t have one employee left who will be remembered for anything!

    My heart is broken. Bob McCully was one of the finest men I have ever known. He was a mentor and forever friend I will hold dear until my last breath and beyond. My deepest condolences to his family. Judith O’Dea

    As I just wrote to Martha, I’ve learned many things about Bob over the years that have made him a sort of celebrity in my eyes; however, not a single boast or even story about himself ever passed through his lips.  He always had kind words about others though.  He will always represent, for me, the epitome of humility and goodness.

    So saddened to hear of Bob McCully’s death. I met him when working at Ketchum and struck up an immediate friendship, I agree with the previous comment, he was one of the finest men I have ever known and probably will ever know…and he was a good friend to animals as well. My heard felt sympathy to his family and friends. We lost one of the good guys.
