I´ve just learned of Bob´s passing. He was generous and supportive when I was a young college graduate looking to write for his brand new community paper. What wonderful memories.

Bob, I will always remember you as part of that dynamic duo that began publishing the "University City Review" in 1988 and later the "Weekly Press". Great neighborhood newspapers! You will be sorely missed!
