Not sure what to say?

Sorry to hear of Bob's passing. He interviewed and hired me on the spot in the spring of 1976 in Akron Ohio to work for Touche Ross. He was a wonderful mentor and leader, and I learned a lot from him. He made a positive difference in people's lives.

I didn't know Bob long but the short time I was able to spend with him, was such a pleasure. The love that he and Rudean shared was evident and something to admire. I'm so sorry for your lost. I hope you are all at peace. Sending lots of love, Charlie Martinez

I first met Bob when I started in the tax department of Tuch Ross in Chicago in 1975. Shortly after he left for Cleveland. Our paths crossed again in Grand Rapids in the early 1980s when we moved here from Chicago. He became a mentor and friend of mine due to our common backgrounds. I will miss his infectious enthusiasm and positivism. I think God for putting him in my life. Jerry Tubergen

My Dad was in the Korean War , told a lot of Stories ! May you RIP, Thank You for your Service, I Salute You Sir ! Sue Willard Gr. Mich .

Bob lived the values all of us aspire to, and was a great role model, as well as a nice guy.

What a life well lived by a wonderful man who meant so much to our family. With love and esteem. Chip and Daryl Weil

Bob was a great man! I enjoyed serving on the Boy Scout board, attending Rotary and playing golf with him. He epitomized the Rotary credo of `Service above Self´. My sympathy to his family.
