I am so sorry to learn of Bob's recent death. I will always appreciate the support and encouragement that the two of you gave me over the years while I was serving as OOA Executive Director. Our loved ones live on in the memories we hold in our hearts. You will be in my thoughts and prayers during this holiday season.

Dear Janet,
I am extremely saddened to hear of Bob's death. He was my most favorite trainer in Radiology as a resident. He taught me so much more than radiology. He mentored me in life, being almost a father to me while I was in Columbus. His kindness, respect of us as residents, his work ethic and willingness to do whatever was asked of him all taught me how to be a good radiologist and a better human being and physician. I will truly miss him.
My heartfelt sympathies to you and the family.

We are so sad to hear of cousin Larry's passing. We are also sorry to have missed the opportunity to share memories of family reunions, all the gardening offerings of Robert Sr and Jr, and the kindnesses shown from this wonderful family.
What a gentle and kind man he was, even in his youth! I will always remember the smile and the attention paid to each person, even to the younger cousins.
With love and sympathy,
Linda Millican Cox
