Robert "Bob" Aber

Bob was hands-down the smartest student in our Stanford Medicine Class of 1970 and was just a fine person, as was Karen. My love to Bob's family.

I first met Dr. Aber as a medical student, and had the good fortune to return under his leadership as faculty years later. Soft spoken, thoughtful and kind, his leadership and mentorship were powerful forces in my career and life. While I am heartbroken by the loss of a remarkable physician and cherished leader, his legacy is forever in the hearts and minds of those lucky enough to have known Dr. Aber.

So blessed to have known and worked with Dr Aber!

My condolences to the family of Dr. Aber. A wonderful man with compassion and empathy for all. He was a pleasure to work with during the 13 years I was at Penn State Hershey Medical Center. I am sure his contributions will live on well into the future.

Deep condolences to the family, friends, and colleagues of Dr. Aber. Dr. Aber was a consummate physician, teacher, and kind person and I am very grateful to be a recipient of the Dr. Robert and Karen Aber Scholarship. He made such wonderful contributions to the field of medicine, his patients, and all of his students and mentees over his tenure. He will be fondly remembered.

In the forty-plus years that I knew and worked with Bob Aber, I came to know him as a friend and role model of the finest caliber. He was a physician, educator, advisor, counselor and leader of rare quality and unwavering commitment, whose gifts of wisdom, judgment and character represent the most noble qualities of our profession. Let us honor his memory and follow his example.

A brilliant advisor, compassionate soul, great mentor and kindest spirit has left us too soon. Rest in peace, Dr. Aber.

A brilliant mind, compassionate heart & gentle spirit has left us too soon. Rest in peace, Dr. Aber.
