Not sure what to say?

Dear Susan and FFSJ,

I just now learned of Bob's passing and send my deepest condolences. I worked at FFSJ for many years in 1980's. In hindsight and as many others have testified, Bob taught me such valuable and treasured lessons. A great lawyer and human being. RIP Bob.

My dad, Pat Lucey, and our whole family were shocked and deeply saddened to hear of your loss. Bob was a great friend and tremendous force for justice. We will strive to honor and continue his life's work.

Dear Susan and Family,

I was saddened to hear of Bob's passing!

He was a good friend to me offering much political and legal advice during my years in Milwaukee. RIP Bob!

Dear Susan and family.
So very sorry to hear this sad news. I met Bob in our "salad days" working on campaigns for no money! He had a way of bringing people in. Wit? He would say: "If this one doesn't go our way, don't worry. I'll just run down to the election commission with a flashlight and a clipboard and fix it right up!" Years later, your lovely Ellen was our daughter's counselor at JCC camp. I ran into Bob at the J, and told him how Ellen lovingly cared for our girl. He smiled...

Dear Susan,
So very sorry to hear of Bob's passing. Much love to you and your family. I met Bob in our "salad days" in the early 80's, working on political campaigns. Wit? An abundance. One time he said, "Well. if it doesn't go our way, I'll be there with a flashlight and a clipboard, examining the polling records."
Years later, your lovely Ellen was our daughter's camp counselor at the JCC. I ran into Bob one day at the J, told him what a kind and special person Ellen was. He just...

To the Friebert Family:
Just heard the news of Bob's passing and am deeply sorry for your loss. I used to work for Bob at the law firm of FF&SJ for almost 10 years. Bob was a smart and witty man and will not be forgotten. May you treasure all the memories through this tough time. The world has lost a great man.

Way back in high school we all knew Bob was brilliant and destined for greatness. But despite all his remarkable achievements in the world of Law and Politics , when I spoke to him just a few weeks ago, Bob dwelled on one very important achievement which he wanted me to remember and others to know.
Bob could hit a baseball farther than anyone we knew.
“I was the only one who ever hit a ball onto the roof of 53rd street school and and I DID IT EVERY TIME We Played”
My lasting...

Bob was a classmate and friend going back to our days at Washington High School. His humor and warmth were evident even then. My wife and I always looked forward to seeing Bob at the high school reunions, where he could always be found at the center of the funniest and most interesting conversation.

Dear Susan,
I read about Bob today and want you to know I am so sorry. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers at this very difficult time.
Blessings to you and your family.
