Very sad to know about his death very belatedly. He was the one who taught me NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) when I was in Patna.
May His Soul Rest in Peace.

My condolence to Fr. Phil Grib on the passing of his brother Rev. Robert Grib. I just read about his death. I did not know Robert Grib but did know Phil Grib for a number of years through a mutual friend, the late Rev. Carl Dehne sj.

I went to grade school with Fr. Bob and I followed his career through friends. He was an amazing person and will be remembered with love.

We had the privilege of first meeting Father Bob when he was our associate pastor at Our Lady of the Brook parish in Northbrook. Father Bob always had time to talk and to share his wit and wisdom. He truly changed our lives and made us see what is really important in this life. He called us from Michigan just a few months ago to tell us where he was now living. We are saddened by his passing but know that he is now in God's hands.

My deepest sympathy and prayers for the loss of Bob. He was my teacher, my adviser and my dear friend. So many moments we shared talking about our missionary lives in India and our love of the culture and people. I will miss not seeing you my next visit home. Be at peace Bob, you have been dearly loved and will be profoundly missed.

Prabhu Ki Jai Ho..
I met him when I was just 12 years old. He was the person who explained what relationship is. How a Mother or Father worry and care there child without saying any words. How a Brother, Sister, Uncles and Aunts care when we are experiencing new things or start learning new chapters of life.
As a youth coordinator he taught how to lead life and showed how to pray GOD for choosing right path.
Thank you Father Bob Grib for all you lessons, Love and cares. You will be in my hearts till we meet again in real world with Jesus. Be always happy with Grandmother, Papa, Aunts, Uncles, and with your MOM & DAD.
Pray for us and guide us for the rest of our life.
Missing you and Waiting to meet you again

I first met Fr. Grib when he was playing with the Brighton Park Connection, a Polka/Dance band in Chicago. I came to know Fr. Bob as one of the kindest, gentlest people I had ever met.
I was so glad over the few years I was able to get to know him and be a friend. I feel richer for the experience.
May you rest in peace Fr. Bob.
