Sadly, I just tonight learned of Bob's passing.
My condolences to Maris, Maris, and Bobby, whom I knew best, and to the others. I will always carry fond memories of our days at Loras as roommates and best friends so many, many years ago.

To the Hajek Family,
Please accept my deepest sympathy in your loss. Bob and my wife, RoseAnn, went to highschool together and I met him at one of the class reunions. We had several lengthy conversations via telephone discussing numerous topics. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of grief.
