Robert C. Shoemaker Jr.

Though I didn't know him very well, I sat next to him a couple of times while watching his son Bob perform, and it was a genuine pleasure to talk to him. And watching Robert and his wife Beverly dance to their son's music was absolutely magical.

Bob's passing just came to my attention. I just want to share my appreciation for his work in the legislature and particularly on health care issues. He made a difference.

I appreciated dancing with Bob to music made by his sons and Beverly. And i appreciated his political dance. Adept, savvy, grounded. Thank you for helping to deliver the Oregon Health Plan to millions Senator.

Oh, my heart goes out to all of you, and I hope that Bob's death was lived right up to the last of it! He will always be an inspiration to my public health and medical ethics passions. Such important work will live on as his legacy forever in Oregon!

Memories recall a wise and caring voice at our monthly old-boys Moose Club lunches and lighter moments of dancing the night away with Bob and Beverly at the Helvetia Tavern to the strains of their son´s band.

A wonderful guy In a terrific firm of great lawyers I was lucky to know as a young lawyer.

We are so sorry to read of Bob's passing. He was such an incredible man that contributed so much to his family, friends, community, State and the World. Our fond memories of him will be with us always. Please know that we send you all our sincere sympathy and wishes for gentle healing. With love, Pam and Jerry

I remember Bob fondly for all his kindnesses to a new young associate lawyer at Lindsay Hart. Good lawyer and great guy. He contributed greatly to his community.

Pat and I send our sincere condolences. He is now in the light of God´s love. We will remember him in our prayers. Jo
