Not sure what to say?

I wish to send my condolences to the family of Bob O'Connor. I worked with him at United Way for a few years and he was a great individual. It saddens me to hear of his passing. My sympathies to the family.

Bob was a colleague of mine at UWA and was my boss for a short time. I will always remember the humor he put into his research presentations. Everyone loved him. He was truly a United Way treasure...a wonderful person. My condolences to the family.

I liked ,admired and greatly respected Bob, and was so saddened to hear of his passing.
I will miss him.

I was extremely saddened to learn that my dear friend Bob has left us. How lucky we all were to have had him in our lives. He was always so full of life, humor and that extra "spark." Diane and family, you are in my thoughts and prayers.

I too was a UWA colleague. I remember Bob as such a nice person with a wonderful sense of humor. My condolences to his loved ones.

My most heartfelt condolences to Bob's family. Bob was my first boss at UWA and a true mentor in every sense of the word. He always cared as much about your growth as a professional and as a person as he did the product of your work. I will never forget his smile and the twinkle in is eye. A beautiful man.

I never had the pleasure of working directly with Bob at United Way of America, but my wife, Martina Martin, certainly did and she just called me tonight from a business trip to Scranton to tell me of Bob's passing. Very sad and I want to express my sympathy and my condolences to his family. A good, good man, now gone gently into the Light that awaits us all. May God rest him and give his family peace and comfort.

Enjoyed working with Bob at UWA - a good, kind and gentle man with wonderful sense of humor.

Bob was a colleague of mine at UWA. I admired his wit, intelligence and giving spirit. My memories include - Bob charming all of his colleagues by dressing as a pumpkin complete with green leggings on Halloween, giving my husband Larry (who had a brain tumor) a meaningful research project to work on as a volunteer during his terminal illness, going above and beyond to produce research and customer data post the UWA nartional controversy and being a friend and mentor to all. Love you Bob -...
