Obituary
Send FlowersA Man Who Took His Time
Robert J. Baierwalter thought outside of the box. In high school, he and some friends hoisted a drum set, piece by piece, up to his bedroom so his mother would not know (at least not for a few hours). Decades later, as an account underwriter for FM Global, he liked creating insurance deals his co-workers thought impossible. And when other fathers sped to work early, he stayed home until 8:45 a.m., when Veronica, 14; Richard, 11; and Raymond, 6, left for school.
"He watched their grades like a hawk," said his wife, Laura. "It's a very difficult job, I'm finding out now. He used to ask Veronica every three days, `What's your math average?' and he was always on the phone with the teachers."
She and his friends remember how Mr. Baierwalter, 44, was always late. "Now that I look back, I see he never rushed for anything," said Debbie Falls, a neighbor. "He enjoyed life. He took his time. He didn't have much time here."
Mr. Baierwalter, who lived in Albertson, N.Y., worked in Norwalk, Conn., but was at the World Trade Center on Sept. 11 for a meeting at 8:30 a.m. "It was probably the first time in his life he was on time," Ms. Falls said.

As we approach the 20th Anniversary of 911, Bob and his family will always be in our hearts and prayers. I was very lucky to have know Bob as a coworker and car pool buddy for many years. I’m still in shock and saddened to know that Bob who was never on time for anything, was on time that faithful day. May he continued to rest in eternal peace and happiness. May God Bless.

What can you say about Bob other than he was a good husband, father and enjoyed people. He will always be missed by everyone who came into his life. We will all meet one day in Heaven so he just has to wait for our day to come and join him in his journey.

I fondly remember "Big Bob" from my days at Swim Clean working for his brother Joe. Bob would help out on our busiest days, taking the toughest jobs. Great guy, always missed.
