Robert D'Arcy

Gone ~ but never forgotten. I always think of laughs we shared and the times when someone would test your patience. Things are so very different in the world now. I am happy you are away from this craziness. I miss you and I wish you continued Rest In Peace.

I miss you! Such an intelligent, handsome, gifted human being who I considered a great conversationalist, even when the things you expressed went over my head. You were always there to let me vent and test out my corny jokes. A true friend like none other. I miss your calls where you always announced "This is Bob D'Arcy!" And I always exclaimed "How could I not know who you are?" I was so excited for you when you said you were retiring. But then I got angry because I would lose my buddy...

Oh my, I am just devastated upon hearing of Bob's passing. We lost touch a few years ago but for many years after Bob left Pillsbury to go to Wells Fargo we would gather once or twice a year for lunch with friends and hear all about Bob's travels. One thing that touched me was how much he loved and missed Paula for all these years after she passed. Well, at long last, they are together again. Farewell Bob and I'll see you again in a better place.

I worked with him for five years at Pillsbury and he reminded me of "Mr. Darcy" in Pride & Prejudice -- gentlemanly and always well dressed, but also a bit boyish, with a slightly subversive humor and deep intelligence. Bye, D'Arcy ....

Sorry for your loss. I graduated from St. Joe's, #2 in class, right behind Bob, #1. We had a friendly competition. He was a brilliant mind and reading about his life, an avid explorer of other cultures. I'm sure he will be missed. My sincere condolences to his family & friends.
