I met Bob at a bioengineering conference he organized in Hilton Head several years ago. The conference was fantastic and Bob was a delightful host. He was always very energetic, engaging and enthusiastically open to new ideas. He was one of a kind and will be sorely missed.

Bob was a kind, wonderful man who listened more than he spoke. It was to me a privilege to be his friend.

Bob was one of a kind - he knew everybody and everything in the world of bioengineering. When I arrived at GT my lab space was not ready, and I was stuck: what would I do? Before I knew it, Bob was calling me: "Hey Ross, I heard there was a hangup with your lab space. I have some spare space you can use in the meantime". He really was that kind of person, someone who comes along only once in a while. We miss you Bob.

I remeber during my freshamn year at Georgia Tech I was really stressed and didn't feel like I belonged at GT but he said "You deserve to be here" and that really helped me to shape a better attitude towards my college struggles.

Bob Nerem took me off the streets when I lost my job, mentored me to MS and PhD degrees, and into a most satisfying academic career.
Once, his secretary was having a difficult time personally. Bob generously paid her salary while she took a month off to solve her problems.
Dr. Nerem always saw the best in everyone, and brought it out.
Bob Nerem is proof-positive that nice guys finish first.

Dad, thinking of you everyday. I hear you talking to me and I know what you would say. I am blessed to have been so close to you.

Bob was a legend, a giant. When he walked into a room, everyone could feel is presence. He was kind, and he was ambitious. I loved butting heads with him and sharing a joke or two. There is no one that has done more for my career than Bob. He supported me in ways that I will never forget. My heart is truly broken and the bioengineering world will never be the same without him.
