Bob was my first office mate at DuPont in Jackson Lab, Sept. 1964. Made some wonderful and a few silly memories for this brand new engineer. Enjoyed sharing an office with him and having him show me the ropes.

Only worked with Bob a short time at Chambers Works but enjoyed our time together. He was a real people person. I am proud to have known .him.

A wonderful man to have worked for and with at DuPont. Always quick to smile and ready to teach any who would learn. I never heard him utter a word in anger or make a disparaging remark. I'm glad to have known him.
