Not sure what to say?

Very sad to know about his death very belatedly. He was the one who taught me NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) when I was in Patna.
May His Soul Rest in Peace.

My condolence to Fr. Phil Grib on the passing of his brother Rev. Robert Grib. I just read about his death. I did not know Robert Grib but did know Phil Grib for a number of years through a mutual friend, the late Rev. Carl Dehne sj.

I went to grade school with Fr. Bob and I followed his career through friends. He was an amazing person and will be remembered with love.

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. My deepest sympathy and condolences to the family during this time of grief. Psalms 55 : 22.

We had the privilege of first meeting Father Bob when he was our associate pastor at Our Lady of the Brook parish in Northbrook. Father Bob always had time to talk and to share his wit and wisdom. He truly changed our lives and made us see what is really important in this life. He called us from Michigan just a few months ago to tell us where he was now living. We are saddened by his passing but know that he is now in God's hands.

We will always remember how Father Grib kept in touch with a beautiful note at Christmas time. Enjoyed his lively spirit and will miss him. Our sympathy and prayers.

My deepest sympathy and prayers for the loss of Bob. He was my teacher, my adviser and my dear friend. So many moments we shared talking about our missionary lives in India and our love of the culture and people. I will miss not seeing you my next visit home. Be at peace Bob, you have been dearly loved and will be profoundly missed.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

I had the pleasure of working along side Fr. Bob when i worked at St. Juliana Parish in Chicago, was a good priest but even a better person. Rest in Peace Father
