Not sure what to say?

Bob was responsible for getting me interested in programming. I don't know where I would be if I hadn't taken his entry level programming class and found out how much fun it was.

Thank you, Bob, for the influence you had on the lives of so many people, including myself.

Bob was one of my favorite teachers I ever had the pleasure of meeting. He displayed the perfect balance between work and fun. Bob was alway hanging out with is student and having fun while still holding you accountable for you work. I have brought this "Work hard play hard" attitude into my career which keep me productive and stress free. That is not taught in the textbooks. You will be missed, Bob. Thanks for the lesson.

Bob was a wonderful mentor and a terrific friend. I'm sure I speak for many of his students when I say that he was the most influential professor I ever had. He guided us, pushed us, helped us...and strangest of all, got a bunch of young computer scientists to come out of our shells and be social with each other! I treasure the memories I have of him. He will never be forgotten.

Bob was the most interesting person I have ever known. He enjoyed the challenge and in-turn challenged his students to the fullest extent. I can honestly say that Bob was a large part of defining who I am today. We learned more in one semester with him, than we could have ever learned from just books. I still have the T-shirt that we had made for completing CMPS 383, and I am always asked about Bob (It is never a short story).

He was a teacher, advisor, and mentor to many, but I...

Bob meant the world to me and many other people. He was a "father" figure to me, in a time when I really needed one. He is the reason I am who I am today. I will forever be proud to be one of his students, and a part of 383!

Mr. McMorrow,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served with the U.S. Army in Vietnam. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

Susan & Family,
I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your brother. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.
Merci

Thanks for challenging my mind, you really made a difference in my life.

I always wanted to get back to thank Bob for all the hell he put me through in his classes. I may have complained the whole time, but I learned so much. Bob taught me valuable lessons that I still use every day, lessons not attainable from a book.
