ROBERT L. FORTNEY

I happened to be sharing a story about Bob with my wife when I decided to search the internet to see if I could find Bob's current whereabouts. How sad to find out the be passed away so young! My room was next to Bob's in Acacia frat house at Miami Unversity in 1974 -75 when Bob was in his fifth year. We played hearts, went to the Kentucky Derby, saw Led Zeppilin at the Richfield Coliseum. Wonderful memories. Bob was the nicest guy. So sad to hear of his passing.

Its 2020 and I just learned of my old buddy's passing several years ago. Of course I feel shocked. Bob was such a good person. We were very close throughout the Miami years, beginning our freshman as fellow architecture students and residents of Morris Hall. Bob's room was a few doors down the hall and we spent a lot of time together both in architecture classes and out of class. He also was one of the people I turned to launching a new business in Cleveland in the 90s. Bob was a one...

I was shocked to learn of Bob's passing while reading the Miamian. I was "Gronk's" dorm roommate his senior year in Hahne Hall. Many memories of his late night last minute architecture project deadlines. We are sorry for your loss of your husband and father. Sincerely, Norb and Diana Geiss

Dear Ruth and family, I was most saddened to hear of Bob's passing. Bob was an inspiration to me, both personally and professionally and I have found myself quoting his words many times over the past eight years. Wes Surritt, President - Wooden It Be Nice, Ltd.

Ruth and Family, I am sorry to hear of Bob's passing. He was very instrumental in my early years in business. A great guy to do business with and to be a friend. I haven't seen him in awhile so I stopped in the office to catch up about a month ago. Sadly he was not in. The contracting world is a lessor place without him.

Wow, he would lift me up - literally!!! and really high - every time I would see him again after long times apart. How wonderful for us cousins getting together, starting from our days as little children. Such marvelous memories of family gatherings over the years. My dad, Bob's uncle Harry, would have been right there with Mary and Bob welcoming Bob for the glorious final family gathering.
Thank you, Lord, for Bobby.
