Robert A. Chubon

Dr. Chubon was just a remarkable man. I was his graduate assistant.

Dr. Chubon, you were so loved by your students at USC.

I discovered Bob via his work on designing a keyboard layout that is more efficient than the standard one when typing with only a finger or mouse.

I was one of Dr. Chubon's rehabilitation counseling students in the 1980's. He pushed us to be our best. What an awesome professor he was!

he was somebody that signified the courage to obtain his ideals of his life ambitions.

Jim and I love you, Sandy. You and Bob are the most wonderful couple we've ever met. Today our hearts are filled with you. The two of you have enriched our lives. Memories of the four of us touring "On Wings Like a Paper Crane" are among our fondest. Thank you both for ALL the wonderful memories. And for the Life-lessons you taught us, and for your acceptance and your love. Ceille and Jim

I'm thankful to been one of his students, and my thoughts and...

I am so sorry to read of the death of Dr. Chubon. I was one of his students in the M.Ed. program at USC many years ago. He was an incredibly brilliant and resilient man, and an excellent instructor. He will be remembered with much respect and appreciation for his lasting contributions, and for a life well lived in spite of adversity.
