Robert G. Ayres

Demi and Meryl, I am so sorry to hear of Rob's passing. He always appeared happy, content and oh so like-able. He will be sorely missed, but your memories will live on forever. My thoughts are with you during this difficult time.
With Sympathy,
Jim Stern

So sorry to hear about the loss of your loved one. May you find comfort reading Psalms 94:19

I am so thankful to have been coached by Mr. Ayres during my time at Dana Hall. He made me realize that everyday is "a beautiful day to play soccer". I will miss his kind heart and the support he gave me even in the years after I left Dana. I'll always remember him surprisingly showing up to one of my college soccer games because he had been golfing in the area earlier that day. Thank you for everything you've done for me, Mr. Ayres.

Demi, so saddened to hear this news. Rob lit up the place (DEC) all the years he was there. When I arrived in 1972 as the loan woman personnel rep, Rob took me under his wing and helped me sore. Having recently lost my husband Dick Esten, also a long time DEC he, I know how hard it is to lose one's beloved. Sympathies, condolences and hope you take comfort in knowing that his memory is a blessing for those of us lucky enough to have known him.

I loved Rob. We worked together at Digital Equipment Corporation, and indeed he was a champion of women's leadership. He was so funny - we used to bond over the fact that we both ran marathons and yet enjoyed the occasional cigarette. A wonderful man.

Let us tell you the sort of man Rob Ayres was, from the perspective of a Dana Hall parent: Our daughter, Mary Kate, played on the ice hockey team under his and "Suby's" tutelage. Rising on pitch black, freezing cold January mornings for before-school practices, Mary Kate would tell us what gave her the wherewithal to get up out of bed, and onto the ice: Coach! When she needed surgery, he visited her in the hospital and reassured her that all would be well. She--and we--have never...

What a sad day. Rob was a wonderful person who will be missed. Our thoughts are with Demi, Ursie, Meryl and Elliot.

Absolutely shocked to hear of Rob's passing, a childhood playmate and Choate classmate. Rest in peace Rob.

Shocking to learn of Rob's passing. A childhood playmate and Choate classmate. Rest in peace Rob.
