Bob was born on February 1, 1938 to Raymond and Cecelia Mayle in Santa Clara, CA and passed away peacefully at the age of 82 on February 16, 2020. He graduated from Bellarmine in 1955, attended Santa Clara University, and graduated from Creighton Medical School in 1962. Bob completed the majority of his Residency in Internal Medicine at Santa Clara Valley Medical Center before enlisting with the US Public Health Service where he earned the rank of Lt. Commander. After his service, he completed his Medical training at USC. Bob returned to the Bay Area where he practiced Internal Medicine for over 50 years, mostly spent at O'Connor Hospital. He is survived by his loving wife of 47 years, Rosemary; his 3 children Lynn (Lyle), Robert Jr. (Mackenzie), and Anne; and his 4 grandchildren Rosemary, Catherine, August, and Addison. Bob embraced the teachings of St. Ignatius of Loyola by always striving to be, "A Man for Others". He will be remembered as a loving husband/father/grandfather, devout Catholic, and caring/kind Physician. We will miss you Dad.

As I have mentioned previously, Bob was one of the first people I met when I arrived in the US from England in 1966. We quickly became firm friends and this friendship continued until his passing. He helped make my transition to my new life that much easier, something I will never forget. He never failed to call me on my birthday-something I really looked forward to.
He was a person of uncompromising integrity and honor. He was also fun to be around. After I got married, Debbie and I continued our friendship with Bob and Rosemary.
We will never forget Bob and his wonderful family.

I had the pleasure of knowing Bob for over 50 years. As a new arrival to the US, Bob and I became instant friends, a person who made my transition to California life that much easier. I will always remember him as a really gentle man-honorable, compassionate and always entertaining to be around. He personified the very best of the medical profession.
Deservedly, he had a wonderful marriage and family, something that gave him intense happiness and joy.
Every year he called me on my birthday (which was the same as that of his daughter Anne). Along with many happy memories of Bob, that is a tradition I will sorely miss.
