Not sure what to say?

I am so sorry for the loss. I wish the family the best and know that I was thinking of you all before and after his passing. The family was very nice to me and there is a special place in my heart for them and Lisa. I wish I had known sooner of his passing. May peace be with you all. My condolences to you.

Rest in Peace Bob. You have left an enduring legacy in the Belleville and surrounding area for your gracious service and patient grooming of many architects from Southern Illinois. I am one of those, and you were my first architectural boss too, and fortunately for me, I had the privilege of becoming a partner with you and Gene and Glenn 13 years later. The special professional relationships you had with the surrounding school districts shaped the development of the latter 2/3's of my career...

Glen and family, so very sorry for your loss.

My condolences to the Ganschinietz family. Bob was the Architect on many of the jobs I managed during 30 years as Project Manager. He was pleasant and always the most professional person I knew. I learned a lot from Bob during our association.

Bob was my first boss in an archtectural firm back when it was WHR. After 50 years in practice myself, I can count Bob among a very small handful of the thousands of architects I have known, as one of the most influential on me. Personally and professionally Bob was simply a great man and great architect of tremendous talent and demeanor. I know all of us younger arch´s feel the same. He shaped several generations of us. My sincerest sympathies to his family and everyone he touched.

My sympathies. I worked for Bob at WHGK for 2 summers while in architecture school. I have such good memories of him and learned some good career lessons from him.

I learned more in my first 6 months of working with Bob than I did in the 4 years of college that preceded it. Bob was great mentor and a man of incredible patience and integrity who always treated everyone with respect. He also had a wonderful sense of humor - always willing to tolerate, and occasionally even participate in, the shenanigans of the junior staff. Those of us lucky enough to spend time with this great man are all better human beings for it. Deepest sympathies to Kathryn & family.

I worked with Bob at the Regional Office of Education. He was truly a man of integrity and compassion. As a professional he was admired by all for his honesty as well as his knowledge.

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.
