Not sure what to say?

Bob was my terrific friend from 1948. We met when we were six years old and living next door to each other on East Saint Claire Street. How we loved to go bike riding and hiking in Ellenberger Park and all over Indianapolis. I will always treasure these happy times along with our many Boy Scout camping trips. Being an expert with money matters, I forever appreciate his excellent management of my stock portfolio which kept me going strong for some twenty years. Not only was Bob kind,...

So sorry to hear about square. He was a stand up guy. Had the pleasure of working with him at Noyes. May he rest in peace

Bob was my elder cousin, stockbroker, and friend.
These last few months were so very difficult for all of us. I would call weekly to try to bolster his spirits.

He was so very kind and special to his mother and sister, Mim. I enjoyed helping him whenever and however I could. Bob was extremely special in so many ways.

Darn COVID-19. I never dreamed our lunch together would be our last meal together. He was very cautious about this novel virus.

Bob had integrity. ...

Our wonderful cousin Bob -- losing him so early makes no sense. His devotion to his family was legendary, and as was his way, handled quietly, discretely, and humbly. He taught me how to flatten pennies on train tracks when we were both kids and he was charged with looking after me. More importantly, he taught me how to scramble out of the way of the trains. Thank you, big cousin, for demonstrating how to live a life filled with grace and dignity.

Bob was a treasure!! He served as broker and consultant for my mother first. Then, as we three children became adults and had brokerage accounts, we sought out Bob to watch over us too. Bob served as our mentor and consultant. He was gentle, patient and generous with his time.
In loving memory of a wonderful person. Bob will be truly missed!

Square was universally loved by his co-workers and friends. He was a sweet, kind, and generous man. He was a wonderful mentor to me and many other individuals along the way. He was a fantastic storyteller and he had a great ability to educate individuals on many difficult topics. Bob did everything from the heart. His intentions were always honorable and you could always count on Bob. I will greatly miss my friend and colleague and I'm thankful for all of the time we had together. It's...
