I am so saddened to hear of Bob's passing. He was my boss, and friend, at the GPO/OIG, and I have never met anyone with more honesty and integrity. He always spoke with affection about his beloved wife Eileen, and daughter Maureen. He would tell stories of their first days taking Maureen up to NYU her freshman year. Bob will be missed, not only by me but by many others who were positively influenced by his friendship, mentoring, and leadership. May God Bless you Bob, and your family, always!

Bob was one of my oldest friends, though we hadn't talked in years. He was my 'guardian angel' at Gonzaga High School and we spent a lot of wonderful times together. I am sad I won't be able to visit his memorial as living in Washington state precludes my visiting at this time. I was looking forward to seeing him at our 50th class reunion this spring.
Though we hadn't seen each other for years, his memory is still fresh in my heart and will be there til I join him in glory.
Love you, Bob.
