I am so sad to hear about Bob. I often walked my dog with him and Laura and I felt I knew him fairly well. He was happy with all that he had earned and, most especially, his dogs. We will miss him in Nahant.

Those of us who worked with Bob at MIT's Lincoln Laboratory recall with affection his impish personality, with great respect his contributions to the security of his country.

No person is ever truly lost or gone once he has been in our lives and loved us, as we have loved him.

Saddened... for all of us... to lose a man with the energy, excitement, joy, curiosity, intellect, and warm-hearted smiling friendliness of Bob.
Lightning Club won't be the same without you.
Bob liked this quote:
..."This above all: to thine own self be true,..."
Shakespeare in Hamlet
Thanks for being you, Bob.
You will be missed.
