Not sure what to say?

Rest in peace, Bob. Fly with the angels.

He was a great friend and professional colleague at UAA. His dedication to teaching was unmatched.

We would also like to send our condolences to the friends and family of Bob. Not only did we appreciate his service and enthusiasm at RPEA luncheons as emcee, but we enjoyed him as our teacher in an OLE' class on memory. He had so much knowledge and the desire to share it with us. He will be truly missed.

Best teacher ever!

Bob Madigan was an exemplary professor and a great person. He will always remain my favorite and cherished teacher. I would have never made it through graduate school without him! Blessings to his family and friends.

I will miss Bob's friendly face and seeing him always walking, everywhere. He was a wonderful neighbor and we'll miss his presence. Our thoughts are with you Jodi. Please let us know if you need anything.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

Got to know Bob after retirement through his volunteer work with RPEA. I really appreciated his enthusiasm when chairing chapter meetings. He always had a smile and exuded an optimistic attitude even in the face of his cancer diagnosis. We really miss Bob and offer his family our condolences.

OMG - I so remember Bob with fondness from his work on the RPEA board. My sincere condolences.
