Cathy, please see my email add. Even though the love of your life has left this earth plane, I hope your Christmas is merry and bright and full of happy times and memories with your loved ones. Wishing you good health and every blessing in 2025 With much love, Helen xxx

Dear Cathy, great sadness, great loss to all, family and yourself. I remember the 1st day I met Bob at Queen Elizabeth hospital and then he was on 5A at GOS. I remember your wedding as being a day of great joy. Thinking of you and your family. My love to you all. Helen xxx

I met Bob when he was a registrar and I was a Senior Registrar at University College Hospital, London, and we became friends instantly.

Bob was a gem of a person. I am honored to have known him. With deepest sympathies to his family. May they know many were graced by his presence in our lives.

Bob Wilmott was a good friend and great contributor to my adult education at the Children´s Hospital of Michigan in Detroit. I was honored to be called by him from each of his later positions. How such a kind, wise, and gentle person could tolerate being a dean always amazed me as did his knowledge of and skill at the saxophone. We have lost a friend and role model.

I just saw that Dr. Wilmott has passed. I will be forever grateful to him for an experience that I have and always will remember working as his Pulmonary Function Techbologist. He taught me more than just how to do my job. He shared so much of his time to help me and my family when needed. Such a kind and caring man, as well as a doctor. I will always cherish my memories at CHOP under Dr. Wilmott´s leadership.

It was an honor to have been able to work in Dr. Wilmott's program. He treated everyone very kindly and supported us in the pursuit of pediatric excellence. Condolences to his family.
