As Bob's mentor during his periodontics residency in Indianapolis, Bob stood out in his dedication and maturity. He knew what he wanted to do professionally and kept his eye on the ball. We remember him well and regret that he had to depart this life too early.

I still miss him. Just thinking of Bob brings me joy of all our times singing as he played the guitar. I wont let sadness creep in because he would not wont that. He was a Renaissance man.

On this the anniversary of Bob's death, it is a joy to remember him once again. The memory of singing songs, laughing, talking politics and living life in general -that is all part of what it was to be with Bob. When the tornado blew their home to bits I gave his mom a set of dishes and when I spoke with Bob in Alaska years later, I was so thrilled to hear him say he had that set of dishes. Connections were always important to me. Bob and I were connected in many ways. I still miss him....

This has been a sad day for me to learn about the passing of my dear friend, Bob. Bob and I were stationed together back at Fort Richardson around 89. One year we traveled together to Walter Reed for a continuing education coarse. I ended up playing a great practical joke on Bob, but never admitted to him that I was one behind the joke. One day after we returned to Fort Rich, we were in the break room playing ping pong, when Bob looked at me and asked me if I knew anything about the pictures....

I come to this site on occasion when I am missing you. How could you be gone? What I wouldn't give to see your smiling face.
You may be gone but not ever will you be forgotten. My eyes are leaking, even now.

I was shocked to read of Dr. Matthews passing, almost a year ago. He and his staff were just wonderful to me. I loved hearing his charming accent; he always made me feel so safe. My prayers and thoughts go out to his family. He will be greatly missed.
