Bob was my best Department Head at Bell Labs, Columbus. His selfless dedication to supporting those of us he managed was a model for all around. While I am sure his passing is a great loss to the family, from my experience he lived a great life with honor and integrity.

The last photo I took of my very loving, kind, & welcoming father-in-law. It was taken on April 11, 2016. We will all miss him terribly.
