Robert Dean "Bob" Herman

Bob: may you rest in peace. Sure hope they have Mountain Dew where you're headed. Phi Phi K A brother.

Dr. Herman was the first professor I had when I started my MPA at UMKC many years ago. He was a wonderful teacher and had a great sense of humor. I loved seeing he and his wife walking their doberman around Brookside. Why does someone touch your life, I am not always sure. But anyone that can make me fascinated by statistics and excited to be in a statistics class brings joy to my heart. Bob, I will think of you every time I see a bell shaped curve or a doberman.

As a colleague at UMKC´s Henry W. Bloch School, I saw Bob on a regular basis since the mid-1970s. Even after he retired we waved as he dog walked. "Respected" by colleagues and students he mentored and encouraged and inspired is an understatement. His influence will continue long past his all-too-short lifetime.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends. Please take comfort in the words found at 2nd Thessalonians 2:16,17.

Deepest sympathies on this huge loss. Bob was a kind & supportive colleague at the Bloch School. I will always remember him fondly.

The Cornell Club of Mid-America sends its deepest condolences to the family of Robert Dean "Bob" Herman. Marty Lustig Cornell '63 President, Cornell Club of Mid-America
