So many wonderful memories. Once in Alaska at a CWAG Conference I remember Bob being attacked by the state birds (mosquitos). What a generous spirit. Frankie Sue DelPapa, former NV AG

Oh Bob - I can hear the joy and laughter from above as you move on to better places. Remembering back of the many places, trips, meetings we shared, you always found a way to shine a bright light on some-time tough conversations! And thank you and your good wife for helping my family members as they settled into Kansas City for work at Target! Carry on, good friend!

So many memories of Bob Stephan. He reached out to people of diverse views and had an uncanny ability to connect and stay connected. When I worked at the AG Association and he was newly elected Attorney General, I met him for the first time. His first question: do you have any information relating to how to how to shut down an anti-semitic radio station that is spewing hate all over Kansas. I worked with Bob on many issues over the year and learned a lot in the process. Know that we all miss...

What a wonderful human. Great memories of trips and projects and his terrific sense of humor. Hugs. Frankie Sue

Bob and I served as AG's at the same time and I can never forget one rainy evening in Washington, D.C. when we visited the Lincoln Memorial. And not withstanding the words of his favorite song, he really was humble in all the important ways. Jim Tierney. AG of Maine (1980-1990)

When I assumed office as Attorney General of Delaware in 1979 - together with Bob- I began a lifelong friendship with Bob and built a book of memories of him and our lives in NAAG. His intellect was only overshadowed by his sharp and ready wit. Anne and I send our thoughts and prayers to his family and loved ones who were blessed by having Bob in their lives. Richard Wier. Delaware Attorney General 1975-1979.

Bob Stephan was a great Attorney General and human being. I first met Bob when I joined the National Association of Attorneys General, after being elected Attorney General of Louisiana. Bob took me under his wing immediately and provided me with much wise counsel on how to be a successful Attorney General. I greatly admired his intelligence, his dedication to duty and his genuine love and compassion for others. He and his beautiful wife, Marilynn , became personal friends of me and my...

Such wonderful memories of being with Bob and Marilynn! Bob will be sorely missed. Outstanding public servant and terrific person. With deepest condolences, Charlie Condon, former South Carolina attorney general

Bob was dedicated to the duties of Attorney General of Kansas. It was always a pleasure to work with him during the great days of NAAG. We also enjoyed a lot of fun with him May he Rest In Peace. Roy Zimmerman, Former Attorney General of Pennsylvania
