Anne & family- We were so sad to hear of Bob's passing. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. We enjoyed getting to know both of you, and we're sorry that we were unable to attend the service. Communities are better because of people like you and Bob, and we appreciate everything you've done.

My sincere condolences to the Wilhelm family. Bob "Moose" Wilhelm was the first person I met at UD. I was his first and last roommate. Freshman and Senior year. We were both east coasters
and got along real well.The first day I met Moose he was wearing light blue pegged pants with a dark blue stripe his leg and blue suede shoes. He was quite a good looking guy. I rember him dating and marrying Anne. I have fond memories of my four years at UD and my friendship with Bob is amongst the most important. I left Dayton over 40 years ago. Time passes but memories don't. If you look at an old year book you will see the "Knickerbocker Club" where both Bob and myself are trying to look cool.
God Bless You All
