Robert S. Panza

I was not a direct coworker as we worked in different areas, but was in many project meetings with him over the last 10 years. Bob spoke up, sometimes when nobody else would. Bob knew what he was talking about and wanted processes and procedures to be done correctly. He was admired by many for those attributes. I think Bob also had a great sense of humor, needed especially during this pandemic.
Condolences to Bob’s family and friends for their loss!

Bob was a great guy, a pleasure to work with and I am honored to have met him. He could brighten your darkest day with his stories and wisdom. He will be missed.

Bob was Bob, like no other. Right or wrong to other's opinions, he stayed true to his soul and his own path. Something I held deep admiration for and found endearing and refreshing. A true light of the world, believer that life was to be enjoyed even while going through trials and tribulations. There was always joy to be found in every moment. A reminder for us to embrace child-like innocence and excitement for each day, each moment. Thank you for the laughter, the different perspectives,...

I went to high school with Bob and I remember him as a kind, caring, thoughtful being. With his work as a priest and in Human Services, there is no doubt that this kind, compassionate man was a vessel of hope and healing for all those he served. May his family have some peace in this knowledge and may Bob's legacy of goodness and community service live on in the hearts of all of us.

I worked with Bob when he was the CIS Hot Line Supervisor in the Willow Oak building. He was a great guy, a good friend, and he will be missed. My deepest sympathies to his Mom and family. Bob always spoke very highly of his Mother. May God hold him in the palm of His Hand.

Bob you will be so missed. You were the light of DAPS. Always quick to share a Bob story that was guaranteed to make everyone laugh. I'll miss you tormenting me. The hotline... I still laugh myself to tears over the Bob's hotline "incident".

Thank you for all the joy you brought to this world. Everyone who met you is a better person for having known you.

Bob was an absolute joy to work with. He helped me out of many jams over the years. He will be sorely missed. It is indeed a very sad day for OIM.
