I did an online search for Bob, whom I knew at Dartmouth and later, and found his obituary. He was a very intelligent and reflective person, sometimes not well understood by others, but very good, honest, and well-meaning, and someone that raises the average. I am sorry he is gone.

I talked with Bob several times and he was intelligent, a good conversationalist and a very interesting person. I was looking forward to interesting conversations with him. I will miss him.

Just heard the news about my cousin Robert. I am glad to see he had many friends in Arizona. I didn't see him so much since he left New Jersey. When he lived and NJ when his parents my Aunt Ruth and Uncle Dave were alive we spent a lot of time together. I'm very sad and I will miss him.

I sure will miss Bob. He was a terrific guy and was a science buff, often discussing math, astronomy and science topics at length. Thanks Bob for the mark you made on all of us.
