Robert Spilka "Bob" DeSanto

Pam and Mandy - Very sorry about the loss of your father. Dr. Bob hired me on as a junior environmental planner/consultant with DeLeuw Cather, opening the door to a consulting career that I have enjoyed for over 35 years. He was a great mentor, colleague, and friend. I enjoyed his sense of humor and passion for environmental stewardship. He will be missed! Peace be with you. Paul Stanton

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

Dear Pam, Mandy and families, Thinking of you in the loss of your Dad. He was such a wonderful public servant, changing our town for the better with his many volunteer efforts. We so frequently think with fond memories of your amazing parents and family. May their memories be eternal.

Although it has been many years since I left Niantic, I remember your Mom and Dad so well and I like to think that your Dad will now b reunited with your beautiful Mom. My deepest sympathy .

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived. Dr. DeSanto was a dedicated public servant, Family man, and a Great American. Our sympathies to the family.

Dear Pam and Mandy: Sorry to read this, my condolences. Polly and Bob were terrific parents to deal with, and great public servants. It is a pleasure to have known them.

On behalf of the East Lyme Public Trust Foundation, we send our condolences. Bob was one of three key individuals who helped make the group a valuable part of the East Lyme fabric. We are so pleased to have recognized your father at our 30th Anniversary Celebration last month. He will be missed.

My condolences to the family. Bob and I first met about 1970 when he came to a public hearing on one of my marine designs. I quickly saw the importance of adding a marine ecologist to my team and after that we worked on many projects todgether, all of which were designed to protect the environment. Larry Bentley
