Not sure what to say?

Gwen and Family-
Forgive the lateness of this sentiment, we have only just heard of Bob's passing. He was a wonderful man and we always enjoyed talking with him at the LTL board meeting trips. Take care of yourself and your family and know our thoughts are with you at this time.

Dear Gwen,
Although Mel and I never had the privilege of meeting Bob, we send our sincere condolence to you and the family on your loss.
Fondly,

I was very sorry to hear of Mr Bob's passing on....and, am just as sorry that I cannot make it in time to attend the service. Mr.Bob impacted the attitudes and lives of a great many people not only here in Canada and the United States, but around the world. He lived a very full life giving much of himself and left the best of himself behind in all those whose lives he touched;(and all those he has not met but indirectly impacted, especially at least about 200 natives or aboriginals here in...

Knowing Bob for over 25 years, I consider him one of my best mentors. Not simply because of what he taught me in my working career, but what he taught me about life. He truly loved and cared about the people around him.

Gwen & Family: We are so saddened to hear of Bob's passing. He was always bigger than life. We know how much you, Gwen, will miss Bob but we also know how the heart continually loves and remembers. With fondest memories of days in Michigan City, fun times up on the hill. Love, Rebecca and Steve Fistel

Gwen and family our thoughts are with you. Our heartfelt condolences, we all will miss him. He was a Mensch.

While our time with him was brief, there was no mistaking the depth of character and passion for life that he personified so boldly. We were blessed to know him.

I worked with Bob for many years at Encyclopaedia Britannica. He will always be remembered for the inspiration he provided for Britannica. My sympathies to Gwen and the family.

Dear Gwen.

When we heard about Bob's passing we could not really understand why this had to happen to a man who made so many people happy and had such a brilliant mind, he was a great teacher and he must have known that he left this world a better place for so many. Rita and I will miss him and Gwen you remember our daughter Miriam who was your house guest in Chicago. Well she cried so much when I told her last evening, she has a house in Florida not far from you and she
likes to...
