I live in Bellbrook and I only met Robert a few times. He was such a pleasure to talk to. He will be missed.

I worked with Bob for many years at DESC. He was a dedicated civil servant as well as serving his country in the military. My sincere condolences to Libby and his family. May he rest in peace.
