Bob and I worked together for 15 years while he was Grievance Chair and then President of the Starpoint Teachers Association. I know of no one else who was as down to earth, while taking his leadership responsibilities to his union brothers and sisters so seriously. He made a difference in so many lives, and he was my friend. I wish his family and friends my deepest condolences. He lived a truly great life and like many, I'm proud and fortunate to have known him.
