To Bob's Family and Friends,

I learned of Bob's Passing during the recent holidays and am still trying to get my head around it. I worked closely with him for many months on the SAMP project at Hanscom AFB. He was always a gentleman, funny and dedicated. I am honored to have known and worked with Bob. I do not say that about many people. As his home room teacher, Roberta, lamented, I never heard him say a bad word about anyone. I dare say that not many people can claim such a God-given quality. My prayers and deepest sympathies are with you all on this New Year.

I had the pleasure to work with Bob on various projects. His can-do attitude on one major project was a contributing factor to success. Great team player, especially helping the user community element. I will miss his wit and humor, and keep that spirit. Rest in Peace, Bob; my thoughts and prayers go out to the family.

I've known Bob for the last seven years from our band Time Bandits. He had an infectious laugh and a smile that would light up a room. I am going to miss him terribly. There is such a void in my life. I loved Bob dearly, and he was truly my best friend. We were supposed to celebrate our Christmas this weekend and he was dj on New Year's Eve.that we've done for the past three years. This year's holidays won't be the same without you Bob. May we see each other again when it's my time Bob. I love you my friend.

I worked with Bob on a daily basis - we would have coffee almost every morning together - he was always committed to the task at hand; gave great advice; was as supportive a friend as you could ask for... he advocated for what was best...and was always encouraging. You've left a huge gap here.. Bob, may you find peace in your eternal rest! May the Creator of all living things, send peace to all who mourn his loss and comfort to his family and other friends. Amen.
