Not sure what to say?

Bob was a great Father in law, and
He taught me a lot about life.
He had a subtle sense of humor.

I will really miss him.

I just found the news of Bob's passing and I am so sorry for your loss. I was so lucky to get to know him and Nancy so well in the few months I cared for them. He must have been a terrific dad to have raised such nice kids.
He was the first, and I am sure the last, potential employer to ask me to bring my dog when I worked for him. Bob and Nancy treated me more like a guest than a household employee and for that I will always remember him.

I worked at the Portland office of Touche Ross & Co. when Bob was Partner in Charge. He instilled in everyone a competitiveness in both business and golf, not always in that order of importance. I was Bob's partner one year in the office's annual golf "horse race" when we beat nine other teams. Bob honored me with one of his famous poems when I left the firm, which I still have today.

Dear Aunt Nancy and cousins Mike, Bobby, Bill and Barbara. We were so sorry to hear of Uncle Bobs' passing. I'm sure he will be dearly missed by you all. Our deepest sympathy. Ann & Martin Prouty

I remember Bob with fondness for assisting me in my career at Deloitte & Touche. A truely great mentor, professional and a very competitive golfer. I assume he is in a very wonderful place now making many more holes in one.

Dear Aunt Nancy, Barb, Bob, Mike and Bill,
I am very sorry to hear of your dad's passing. I remember him very fondly. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.

To the Benjamin family, Our deepest sympathies to all of you during this stressful time. Your dad was great; we always liked visiting with him and hearing about golf and the family. We know you filled him with pride and joy. God Bless, Ronnie and Eric Hoffman

Bob was one of the people that helped me get established in public accounting. He was a good friend and someone that will be missed by many. My thoughts are with his family. One of the really good guys.

I am saddened to hear of Bob's passing and consider it an honor to have known him. He was a strong leader who helped many younger associates start their life's work with debits and credits in the accounting world. Nancy, may God bless you in this time of sorrow.
