Robert Peter Prins

I will never forget Dr. Prins, my gynecologist at The Women´s Clinic in Portland. He delivered my baby and later performed a surgery. He was very funny besides the best doctor. I will never forget his lighthearted spontaneous humor-which was quite refreshing during moments of vulnerability. I look back on those moments fondly.

Almost 45 years ago he told me my daughter was a "keeper". Boy, was he right!

Grew up in Bob in the Magnolia neighborhood and were friends at Queen Anne High School and the UW.He was smart and interesting and we had a adventure together hitch hiking to a Rose Bowl game in college. Best wishes to his wife and children. Steve Reibman, UW 65, 69(MD)

Worked with Bob Prins for years. Could always count on him to see the big picture, share what's new and be available for consultation. I've missed him since his retirement. My best wishes to his family and close friends.

So very sorry to learn of Dr Bob´s passing. Have known and worked with him for over 30 years and was so happy for his new adventures in retirement. Sympathy and comfort wishes to all his family

I worked at Island Hospital for 10 years and when I found out that Bob was the son of one of my favorite childhood shows the good witch Wunda Wunda. I thought that that was the coolest things ever. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Oh my gosh I am so sad to see this!!!! My condolences to his family and loved ones!!!!

I am absolutely devastated to learn of Dr. Prins passing. One of the most caring, brilliant people I´ve ever met. I admire him greatly. What a loss to the medical community, community and his family. Delivered my daughter and son. He was a treasure. Condolences to his family.

Jewell, I'm so sorry. I just now found out. Bob was my good friend for more than 20 years. This hits me so hard. Who can I talk to about quantum physics now? He was the smartest person I've ever known. I'm devastated.
