As one of the kids at Grace Church, I always had a few adults who were like family, who always were consistently kind, interested in being involved and made you feel like he was one of those trusted people who made you feel important and cared for. Mr. Fawcett was one of those who I could count on, through my entire life, as far back as I remember. As Mr. Rogers quotes, "Look for the helpers." Mr. Fawcett is exactly who he is talking about. I am blessed to have had him in my life. I am so sorry for the family to feel such a strong presence now has quieted. My love to you all.

I worked with Bob at Beurmann-Marshall, we were on the same account team. I took my first plane ride w Bob when we had to go Chicago for business, felt so bad for him trying to make sure I was keeping it together :). I remember him fondly.
My heart goes out to family and close
friends as you learn to do life without him.

Bob was someone who you could depend on. His word was as good as it gets.
He was always ready for a round of golf and asways had a story to go with each round.
I am honored to have been blessed with Bob's friendship and his wit. Now he will never miss a three foot putt again.
