Not sure what to say?

Constance Scheurer, I first met him at POINT PARK COLLEGE IN BALLET CLASS. AT TIMES HE WAS MY PARTNER WE WERE BOTH SO YOUNG IN EDWARD CATON, KENNETH JOHNSON AND JANE HILLYER'S CLASSES. YEARS PASSED AND I ENDED UP IN SALT LAKE CITY AND THERE I SAW A REFINED BEAUTIFUL DANCER, ROBERT! A PRINCIPAL DANCER WHO WAS AWESOME! HIS CAREER CUT SHORT BY A KNEE INJURY ROBERT THEN BECAME SUCESSSFUL IN BANKING, REAL ESTATE AND WE WERE STILL IN TOUCH. THE PITTSBURGH CONNECTION ALWAYS FOND OF AND FULL...

Dear Lili, I just recently heard about Bob's passing, and I want to send you my heartfelt sympathy. I was in the Dance Department with Bob (and Maureen) at Point Park (and I remember you, too, from your being in the Theatre Department there). Bob was truly a talented and gifted artist who was not only a technical master of his craft, but he also had a stage presence that was phenomenal. Plus, he was just a great guy and was always a good friend to me during our college days. My heart goes...

So sad to hear this news. Bob was an old school chum of mine and I have many fond memories of him.
My condolences to his family. Rest my friend.

Bob was kind, generous and simply infectious with his smile and quick wit. He was one of the first dancers to welcome us, the newbies of 1989, and I knew we'd become friends.

It wasn't long before he let me know about his other passion besides ballet - Basketball! And not just any team; his beloved Utah Jazz (Karl, John, Mark...) And so our good-natured barre banter began as his Jazz and my Blazers started their legendary rivalry playing their way through the NBA conference playoffs of...

Wow so sorry to have heard of Bob's sudden passing We started our career's together at Pittsburgh Ballet. He was a great guy in which I was honored to have known

My prayers are with his family and friends

Dear Lil and family, So sorry to hear about Bob's sudden passing. He was such a nice guy...always. I will keep fond memories of his kindness and great dancing skills. You are all in my prayers. God Bless,

When I first came to Ballet West, Bob was gracious and welcoming, making me feel at home as a new member. As I got to know him more,I came to appreciate his kindness, his humor, and his talent. Bob was toward the end of his ballet career when we met, but I was struck with his ease on stage, his excellent partnering, and natural charisma. He connected with those around him, and that translated into his strength as an authentic performer. Rest In Peace my friend. I'm happy to have known and...

Back when I had season tickets to Ballet West I always enjoyed watching his skill and love of dance. He was truly gifted, very sad to hear this news. Condolences to his family.

My heart aches.... Robert (Bob) and I have been friends 35 years beginning with Ballet West. He was the Prince of Princes, elegant, and smooth as silk when he performed, he was believable in every part he played drawing you in deeper and closer, he was literally poetry in motion.

Robert was my financial adviser for Wells Fargo from the beginning, he was always acutely tuned in to my well being and future, what ever Robert did he gave it 100%.
