I am very saddened by Bob's passing. He was a wonderful advisor who took the time to work with his students. Bob had a profound impact on my career. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Mavis and the family.

I am very sorry to hear about the Bob passing away. Please accept my condolences. I knew Bob since the 1980s when he visited CIMMYT and we met occasionally at St. Paul during project visits.

Condolences from Kathleen and me to Mavis, Todd, and all of Bob's family. Bob was an amazing person who was a great mentor, scientist, and teacher, as well as wonderful human being. His guidance enriched my life and made my career path possible. He will be missed.

Like many others in the wheat breeding community, I will keep Bob's family in our hearts and prayers. I first met Bob when I applied for a position at NDSU and knew of his excellent research long before that. He was a superb scientist, but even more a superb human being. He was everyone's friend from the first time you met him and we all counted on him for great wisdom and advice. He never failed us.

Todd, Extending deep and heartfelt sympathy to you and your family.
