My deepest regards, and sympathies for Robert's family, and friends. He was a wonderful person all around.
It was truly a pleasure working with Robert on 787 CCS Systems Test. He was always dedicated to doing the right thing, light hearted, and saw past the distractions.
A kind heart and a good soul. Though his passing at a young age is hard, reading about the love he shared, found memories, and examples to others. I know his life was rich, and ours made richer for having known him.
There are many flowers in his garden, let's continue in his work to share the best that we are.
God Bless you All

I would like to add my sincere condolences to those of the many others who were fortunate enough to know and work with Robert. I worked with Robert on the 777. As others have noted, his calm, common sense in high-pressure situations was appreciated by everyone around him.

Sincere condolences to April and Robert's family. I worked with Robert on the 787 program. Prior to that I had worked with April and was pleasantly surprized to find out that they got married. I appreciated Robert's common sense, quiet dedication, and even-keeled outlook on life. I will miss him.

I am shocked to hear the very sad news. I knew always smiley dear Robert and work with him at Boeing Company on 787 airplane program for four years. Robert is a genuine, smart Engineer and great guy to work with. I am hoping that he will rest comfortably. I am missing my great friend very much.
Wish the best for his family and friends.

Robert was a kind soul. Although I enjoyed working with him on the 787, my fondest memory was having our kids run through a corn maze together. Watching him with his kids was great. I hope they grow up to recognize how much he enjoyed being with them.

This really saddens me. I really enjoyed Robert's company back when we worked on the 777 in the late 80's and early 90's. I had been wondering where he was these days. I remember trying to keep up with him jogging in Renton, and taking him on a flight in a Cessna 172 from Phoenix to Sedona, and have some nice photographs of him from that trip. Robert was a great guy, and I always felt happy in his presence.

We here in the Avionics Integration Lab will miss Robert immensely. He helped us get through the toughest phase of the High Intensity Radiation testing of critical Avionics equipment required by the FAA. His devotion and support will be missed greatly and will leave a permanent void in the lab culture. We offer our heart-felt sympathies to his loving family and devoted friends.
