Read MoreUncle Bob was always such an open and caring person. He went out of his way to be helpful and kind. I have so many memories of him and the family over the years!

Bob was an exceptional department chair. Manifested and upheld all the values of academia before the neoliberals imposed their regressive policies on higher education. Truly enjoyed working with him and his style of leadership.
