I remember meeting Bob over 35 yrs ago when I was a new teacher. He was the kindest and most thoughtful man toward the kids - he inspired me to get my Masters in special education. He could be just as blustery but you always knew that he was a 'teddy bear' inside - the world needs more Bob Tovey's. My condolences to you all.
