Bob was one of the first librarians with whom I worked when I came to OCC in 1994. He was always cheerful, extremely knowledgible and always willing to assist me and my students with projects. He was a great colleague and I enjoyed chatting with him when he came back to campus. He will be missed.

I retired from the O.C.C. music department in 1985. Our department and the business department were the first to move to the present campus. With the library right across the way from our temporary quarters, I spent a good bit of time there, searching for music and related items. Thus, I have many fond memories of Bob's friendly eagerness to help me find recordings, films and other items. But it was more than that.

My sympathy to you and your family, Anita. I was working full-time at OCC while attending classes at night. Bob was so kind and helpful when I had to do research in the library. You happened to be the teacher in one of my classes. I have fond memories of the both of you.

Dear Anita and family;
I'm so saddened to learn of Bob's passing.
I worked at Coulter Library from 1973-1980, left there to work at S.U., and am now back at Coulter. Altho we worked in different departments, I knew Bob and I recall how kind and gentle he was; a friend to all. He always had a smile on his face.
I can still see him walking to work and home, no matter what the weather.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
