Robert Emerson

Bob & I went to Yorktown and MIT together. At each, he was the leader of his service club - Key Club & ATO. I left Yorktown for Kenyon and then transferred to MIT rather than getting into it the real way, like Bob did. When I did get there, Bob was generous beyond the call in sheltering me - making sure I had friends and a place to live - ATO. I'll be forever in his debt for that, and I never repaid him in kind.
Bob & I shared other history, too. We both were dealing in one way or...

I enjoyed working with Bob and enjoyed our conversations about his trips to Europe and Dogs. He will be missed.

My deepest sympathy to your family for your loss. Bob was a kind soul & we truly go back so many years being in San Francisco together with many mutual friends. My thoughts are with him. Steve Benne

I offer condolences to all of Bob's family and many friends. I met and befriended Bob through our volunteer service on the board of Positive Resource Center in the late nineties. He was a smart, funny, effective leader who lent considerable skills to the agency during very turbulent times. He mentored me when he stepped down as board president and I took the helm. I could have never done it without him. Bob loved his friends and canine companions, and had very close friendships with...

Bob always made me feel that I was someone special. I always felt he was from a different era, of more courtly and gracious people.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

I knew Bob long ago, when I was a friend to his brother Jim. They had the same sense of humor and we're very generous and caring. Bob made sure that I received Jim's new car after Jim's passing. My deepest sympathy to the family, you have lost a truly wonderful person.
