Bob became my friend, guardian and mentor when we worked together in 1972 for NCR on an IT project named HOST for Hyatt Hotels. We maintained our friendship for nearly 50 years in spite of me living in the UK. I will remember his laughter, his honesty and his love of Carole and his three sons and his interest in motor sport. My wife Jean and I send our condolences to the whole family for their loss.

Bob was a courtly gentleman with a reverence for intelligence and quiet pursuits. He was blessed with three very fine and talented sons and a dedicated wife. He delighted in his grandchildren though unable to travel.
