RIP SFC(ret) Bob Disharoon
I received the following email this morning.
I served with Dish in both A/2/10 and SWCS. Another great loss to our community.
Rip Brother!
Yesterday, March 4th, SFC (ret.) Robert Charles Disharoon lost his battle with cancer. Bob was a gentle giant of a man and an accomplished Special Forces soldier. His 20 years of military service included stints in Liberia, Bosnia and Afghanistan and duty with ADA, C 1/10, ODA 042, SFAS Cadre, CA and ASOT Instructor. Bob Disharoon was the quiet professional, not loud, not forceful but strong and smart. Bob was my senior on 042 and very much a big brother to me. I remember fondly how he would roll his eyes, with straight face and sarcastic 'oh, brother' when he heard whatever latest genius idea myself and Patrick McNeal came up with. I also chuckle to think of how unlucky Bob had been to be trapped jumping with Patrick and I for a 3 day SR in Washington. He had a great sense of humor. On one excursion in the woods I kept pointing out bear markings to him and he would tell me I was wrong. Finally when we saw a bear he said it wasn't a bear but a big dog. He knew how this frustrated me and it was pretty funny, he never admitted it was a bear, not to this day. Thank you Bob, for your shining example of a soldier, a husband, a father and a friend, and I hope that we have been as valuable and dear in your life as you have been to us. Our hearts and prayers are with his wife Louise and son Michael in their time of loss.
