Peter and family
I had the good fortune to work with Bob during his District Director days in the then Rhinelander District.
Bob and Jean were a great couple.
I will fondly remember Bob and I am saddened by his death.

Peter and family members:
Your father was a colleague and friend of mine from our days together in the Department of Transportation. Indeed, because Bob was somewhat older, I looked on him as something of a mentor when I became, like him, a District Director. He was a good man, a kind man, a conscientious man, and he will be greatly missed. He enriched my life, and you can be assured that my thoughts and prayers are with him, and with all of you.

Peter,

My son, Peter, born the same day you were, went to Heaven June 14, 1961, so he'll welcome that "Schweizer" Dad of yours. I don't know if I ever met any of you 5, but your Dad & I were good friends since 1950, when I joined him at the Highway Commission on Jefferson St. in Milwaukee. We'll have a Mass offered for him at our church in Sun Prairie, and pray for him both there & many other places & times.
