Not sure what to say?

I grieve and thank Dr. Ornstein for his work for the advancement of humanity. May Allah be well pleased with him.

Dear Sally, In conversation with a friend recently in Miami; December 2021.I had a conversation with someone and was talking about the writings of Bob and our time together at San Jose State University Art department early 19080s. Yesterday the book GOD 4.0 arrived in the mail to my surprise and delight. I don't really remember who I was talking to now so I take this books arrival as a gift from you and Bob. How marvelous the world is at times. After reading your Preface I became aware of...

Bob, the moment I met you in Mexico in 1963 I knew you were a genius. I came to know you also as a most wonderful person, a humorous, decent man.

Inspirational writing, Opened my mind. Thank you

Thank you

A loving friend for 30 years; Bob will be in our hearts forever. Our condolences to the family.

I grieve for the family and friends of Dr. Ornstein, beyond that I grieve for the citizens of the world having lost such a profound spirit. I met him twice, in NYC and at MIT when he gave a lecture.

Robert Ornstein's books were beams of light throughout my undergraduate degree in psychology. Thank you Robert for your legacy to your profession and to those who seek to understand human nature and the human mind..! Your work will always guide me. Sincerely, Miguel Rivera, B.Sc., M.A., M.ADS.
