Robert Gordon was a legend. He took my calls re. complex options and taxes and never knew me. An amazing person who the world will miss.

Bob was a friend, mentor, and a man of the highest personal and professional standards. News of his passing is emotionally painful. Having worked with him for 10 years, I can look back with gratitude and fondness for the opportunities and support he afforded me. Our friendship lasted beyond my time at Twenty-First, and our periodic lunches and conversations remain in my heart.

My deepest condolences to his family, coworkers and alumni of twenty-First. We have all lost a true treasure.

Bob's emails and sharing of current and insightful tax information were a major contribution to understanding the often complex tax world. I always looked forward to his emails.

My sincere condolences and warmest regards to his wonderful Family.
