Not sure what to say?

Maureen, Chris and Connor, I am so deeply saddened by this news. I truly loved Bob, he had become such a great friend over the 20 years of doing his hair. I can’t imagine the pain you all must be feeling. I was so shocked to hear of his passing. He was such a sweet kind and thoughtful man. I pray that you all find peace knowing he is in a better place than all of us. He will always be at your side, he loved all of you so much. He always spoke of how proud he was of his two boys. My...

My deepest condolences to the family. May God watch over you and comfort you.

Maureen Connor and Chris so sorry for your loss. Bob was my trainer at BBraun and invited me to your home as I invited him to my home during that training time. For many years after it was a pleasure always to see him and work with him at BBraun. He always had a great sense of humor and a great sense of purpose when he was working.
Condolences

Maureen / Chris / Connor: I was a fellow colleague of Bob’s here at Sol-Millennium. I am so sorry to hear of his passing. He was such a nice guy to work with. I used to love to get on Team conference calls with him. He had one of those pleasant recognizable voices that everybody loved hearing. I once told him that he sounded like Alan Alda and he laughed. I just want you to know how sorry everybody will be that we will no longer be able to hear his voice or get to work with him...

Dear Maureen and family, I am so sorry for your loss. I had the privilege of working with Bob for many years. He was actually one of my trainers when I started with B.Braun (McGaw) back in ‘98. He was a dedicated leader and I always enjoyed working with him. He will certainly be missed by all who had the opportunity to know him. My sincere condolences to you and your family.

Prayers for his wife and sons. Spend many delightful and entertaining times with Bob. He played drums at BBraun National Sales Meeting. Introduced me to New York City !!!! Had a great personality. Spent many years enjoying his company. He will be missed.

Ed and family, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Please take care and know that my heart is with you at this time. I lost my own brother many years ago and still miss him. Hope we can teach together again some day.

My heartfelt condolences Maureen, Christopher and Conor. I am grateful to have worked with and for Bob. He was always caring and kind. So very sorry.

Rest in peace, my friend. Say hello to Phil Lynott, maybe he needs a drummer
