God Bless a great guy. Respected Bob as an excellent colleague and friend. Hoping to see Bob again some day.

God Bless Bob - one of the really good guys I had the pleasure of working with for many years. My wife Gayle and I enjoyed the time we were able to share at the Vinyl Siding institute meetings.

Can´t believe you have been gone 9 years already. You are not forgotten, Bob. Always in our hearts.

God Bless our friend Bob. Time has marched on with many changes in our world. There are few people to reminisce with these days involving the good old days when Bob was so active in business and science. Rest in peace our friend.

We remember Bob frequently. Knowing Bob for nearly 50 years was a real pleasure. We worked together for nearly 25 years involving the Harshaw Color business - and the various companies that purchased us along the way. Mr. "Color For Plastics" was a great guy and added tremendously to any entity he was involved with. Gon Bless Bob - hope to see him again some day.

Every counter I have with Bob, for about the last 15 years, he will run up to me and wrap his arms around my middle to see if his hands touched, then he will take a step back, with a smile he will say something like ‘keep working on it young fella;' never a disapproval even though year after year it was getting much harder for his hands to overlap let alone touch – I never would know because disapproval was one thing you will never get from Doctor Bob as I called him. I will miss you, Bob. ...

Bob was my mentor and friend in the plastics industry. I first met Bob when I was a "kid" (that is what he called me from day one) just out of college and he was a pigment salesman. OVer many years, Bob and I developed our friendship. We served on SPE CAD board and our greatest accomplishment together was a 2 year project to build the SPE CAD Archive DVD. WHen I had heart surgery in 2011, he was there to welcome me to the zipper club and offer words of encouragement. Bob lived a great...

Our Vitrolite and Vitropurge Teams greatly miss Bob both personally and professionally.

My condolences to all the family. Bob always seemed upbeat. He embraced his time around the farm and thrived with his neighborhood walks. It was always a pleasure to visit with him. He'll be missed by many neighbors.
