Dear Christine and family,
I never had the pleasure of meeting you, but Robert Louis was first cousins with my Dad, Merril (Bud) Nieman. I used to play with Bobby and Mark and their cousins every summer when they would visit Lockwood, MO. He was one of the good guys even when we were young (8-11). Bobby and I got along because we were the same age.
So sorry you had such a short time together. Please extend condolences to Billy Jean too from both my sister Kathy and me.

Dear Chris and the Entire Haunschild Family,
Mr. Howarth's apt professional acknowledgement reaffirms our 'personal life' impressions of Bob. Although we only met your loved one a few times, his incisiveness and stoicism will ALWAYS resonate with us and Bob's generous 'financial expertise' sharing will continue to influence our thoughts and actions for years to come.
Chris, you two were a fabulous team. How fortunate your paths crossed.
With Deepest Sympathy and Affection,
Sally and Stephen

For Bob's entire family,
Bob always asked the right questions of me when I worked with him at PNC. He challenged everyone to do business ethically and with the company's reputation staked out at the beginning of any project. I will remember Bob as a responsible man who took his responsibility seriously and who kept faith with his duties each and every day. My condolences to all of you at this time. You've lost a very good man.

Chris,
I'm so so sorry for your loss, and my heart is broken. I liked Bob so much, and I enjoyed every minute I spent with him. It's comforting to know that he is no longer suffering, and I'd like to think that there are beautiful snow-covered mountain tops in Heaven where he will truly be eternally happy.
