Robert MacLachlan

I know this message is long after the passing of Prof Mac however, It needs to be said. Professor Mac was one of the most incredible human beings that I've ever met. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of him, my mom and my dad. They were the three most influential people in my life. Professor Mac was originally forced upon me or me upon him to provide me with counseling. In a matter of time he became someone I grew to love as family and he opened his heart and home to me. A...

To this day, I still ask myself, "what would dad do?" when parenting. Happy Father´s Day, dad..and thanks.

Still miss Bob and the time we spent together.

Seven years and much has passed. To pay tribute to you for all that you shared in your life. A former student of yours, who you remained so close with after AIC, (Louis B) and I connected recently. Louis was needing a friendly voice to speak with, a role you filled so many times for many. Just the mention of you and discussing your life, gifts and guidance brought comfort and warm memories of you. You were the instrument of that connection and so even after your passing, your work lives on....

Just watching TV tonight and came upon the movie "Ordinary People". Brings back fond memories of the man who took me to see this movie in 1980. An enjoyable night out with Doc, so many lessons he shared through that film, while all the while I thought it was just a good night out together. Could not help but get caught up in it again and to let you know how I think of you often and about those lessons, good times and the many more that we shared. You will always be remembered. Andy

Patty, John & Karen, Jamie & Lauren and Emily & Dean,
My condolences to all of you on Bob's (Doc's) passing.
As a psychology professor at AIC in the late 1970's, Doc taught me from his books and experiences, he was my favorite professor. Out of class he became much more to me and as a father figure in my life he taught me by his example with his timeless friendship that has spanned 37 years. He taught me how to love and role-modeled how be a good husband through his example with Patty....

Dear Patty,and family; my words fall short. I knew Robert as an undergraduate student at AIC (1988), and then on to Graduate school.(1990) He was my clinical professor for counseling and assessment. He was instrumental in helping me launch my career, and to this day, I can hear his guidance and kind words. Countless times over the past twenty six years in my professional practice I've remembered and put to the test, lessons he taught me, and you know, they have stood the test of time. At...

Dear Patty, Bob and I were partners for more than 25 years and never had a single disagreement. It seems like only yesterday we were moving furniture into 380 Union St. He was an amazing clinician and an even better friend. Terry and I will miss him greatly and cherish the fond memories with which he left us.

Patty & Family,

I was very sad to hear of Bob's passing. He was one of my favorite people when we worked together at AIC.
Always a smile on his face.
