Bob is always thought of by me when there is anything to do with name badges for a conference or event. He helped me making badges for many Heard Museum Indian Fairs and luncheons. He was admired and a pleasant, supportive person.

My sincere feelings for Ginger's and her family's loss of a good person.

Unflappable. The one word I would use to describe Bob. He was always calm, always knowledgeable, always friendly.

Bob was my boss 47 years ago at KTAR TV. He was the gold standard
in leadership, professionalism and yes he was a gentleman.
My condolences to the Allingham Family for your loss.

Bob was the consummate broadcast professional and the epitome of a gentleman, with a wonderfully subtle sense of humor. It was a privilege to have known him.

To the Allingham Family: My heartfelt sympathies go out to the family and friends during this difficult time. I hope that the promise in 1 Thessalonians 4:14 can bring comfort. Knowing that there's a hope for the ones we have lost in death can be so reassuring.
