I met Bob almost 20 years ago but didn't know him well as I live 3000 miles away, but I thoroughy enjoyed his visit with June to our cottage in Wales. I loved the pilgrimage he made to the chapel outside Cardiff where his grandfather had married. He had carried the framed photograph of his grandfather with him.

I thoroughly enjoyed working with Bob Guertin since 1988 to when he retired from his deanship. He loved the Graduate Students and his office staff, and advocated for them every single step of the way. He worked to ensure a top shelf education for the students, and to provide an encouraging and positive environment for the staff - his true colleagues. Good humor, lovely manner, and could tell a terrific joke! Fondest memories perhaps were when we would be walking on the Medford campus together and he would suddenly look straight into the sky above and immediately identify every minute detail of the plan soaring over head. He must have been a very special grandfather!!

My deepest sympathy to June, Lynn, and Laura. What an enormous loss for you, and for all of us who were lucky to have Bob as a friend. I've known Bob for some twenty years and could always count on his smile, good cheer, and enthusiastic response to an invitation, even at the last minute. Here in Vermont I can just see Bob and his beloved dog Clark meandering through the meadow. Bob traveled to my late husband's 70th birthday celebration in Germany, and I was so much looking forward to his own 70th. To the many memories of Bob I can now add the little goodbye wave he gave me from his hospital bed the night before he died.
I will raise a glass in your honor on your birthday, Bob. And a big hug to you, June!
