Robert W. Neirynck

I was saddened when I just saw that Bob had passed away last summer. Bob and I were in the same class at Notre Dame Law School, and worked closely together while we were both on the Notre Dame Law Review Board. He had a great legal mind, and was just a great all-around person. I will always cherish our long heart-to-heart conversations about the Rule of Law and what it means to pursue a quality legal career. Bob was all of that, and more. My heart goes out to Bob's family, and I share in...

Bob was the most genuine and kindest member of the legal community. A gentleman who treated people with dignity. A very pleasant person with a good sense of humor. We are all better for his presence.

My sincere sympathy to Bob's wife and family. He was a great guy, a great attorney and a great family man. I always enjoyed having contact with him either working for him, or just seeing him around town. He could really be funny and told some good stories. Heavan's a better place with him in it. May he rest forever in peace.

Bob came up to the counter in the middle of it, and I told him what we were discussing and asked him if he knew their names. Without missing a beat he said "Costigan, Wollrab and Neirynck"....I think about that every year when I put out my nativity set. He was a...

I was privileged to work with Bob for almost 40 years as his legal assistant! He made me a better assistant as we worked together! Gone but never forgotten
