My condolences. I was in Bye Bye birdie with Bob. He was always very nice to me. I was a sophomore in HS at the time and my first show at HVDT., He made me feel comfortable and like I was part of the group.

My deepest condolences go out to Bob's family. So sorry to hear of his passing. We worked together as Standardized Patients at Jefferson University. Bob was a funny guy. His smile was unforgettable. Hoping and praying that your memories of him will sustain you during this difficult period. To God Be The Glory!

Susan,
I am SO sorry to learn of your loss...even though I only met Bob briefly (when you were helping me learn the AARP Tax business), I remember how cordial & pleasant Bob was when he briefly joined us.
It is AMAZING how he helped so many people professionally AND in his work at Jeff's SPP. Prayers to you and your Family...

I was so saddened to hear of Bob's passing. As a coworker at Jefferson, I will miss his extraordinary sense of humor and his passion for current political events. He will be missed! My condolences to his family. We all share in your loss.

I also work for Jefferson Standardized Patient Program. I only worked a few programs with Bob. I found him to be a sweet gentle soul. He will be missed by all at the SP Program.
My condolences to his family. God Bless.

I worked in many of the same programs with Bob as a Standarized Patient at Thomas Jefferson University, Rector Clinical Skills Center since he began in 2008. Before each training/encounter begins, we all congregate in the SP lounge. Bob was always early, enjoying both his healthy lunch/snack, and joining in the lively "discussion of the day". Whether theatre, politics, travel, books...he joined the lively banter, adding his own take, and usually ending each with a witty turn of phrase!
Bob was a gentleman, and I will miss him around "our SP family table"...
Thoughts and prayers in sympathy to his family and friends that are missing him.
