Robert E. Dunn

i was on a apple crew with Robert years ago in Contoocook NH. A friend in Kittery kept me up on Roberts doings and poetry. So sad to lose him and his lovely lively poetry.

Well, Robert finally kept “his appointment.” I think his only regret about passing would be that he did not have a chance to vote for Obama. He had already put in his absentee ballot request. A few special memories - his delight in planning “a real celebration” at River Run last Veterans Day. He wanted the whole works, wine and all. Along with Gerry Duffy, we three read to a full house and had a wonderful time. And our teatimes - I would arrive to find the TV table set up with tea...

Dotty, Russell and family
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and if there is anything that you need or want to talk to we are here for you. Bob was a great guy and I know he will be missed.
Love you all
Russell & June Boutwell

In the early seventies I counted Bob as a friend, but lost track of him for several years until I finally met him once again this year.
He would have hated the singsong couplets of this little piece, but it, nonetheless, is my sincere tribute.

A gentle soul whose anchor was light,
never quite moored to this world and its fight
ever he reached beyond his sight,
refusing to bow to the darkness of...

Robert leaves behind many, many friends and a wonderful body of work. All of his poems speak eloquently of the human condition. He will be missed.

Enjoyed Bob's poetry.He was loved by all his co-horts.
