Dr. Robert G. Ziegler

When I first arrived in Boston in 2007, Bob and Pat have opened their door and made me feel at home since the first day. One of the most wonderful memories of those times is thanksgiving 2007: I have never felt so welcomed, and in few hours I grasped the spirit of this celebration. I can never be more grateful to them for their kindness and warmth. Many of the best memories of the past decade are from the years I spent in Boston, and it's great to know that they are part of them. I last met Bob in fall 2019. and I could see how spirit was unchanged . I feel lucky to have have the opportunity to say hi to him one more time

I was fortunate to have met the family many years ago while remodeling the home in Cambridge. I also spent a week at the house on a river fixing something. Robert and Pat were Wonderful to work with and I pass my condolences to The family. Mark Howard, Loveland, Co.

Bob and I last met at our mini 50th P&S reunion,2018 (see photo). What struck me powerfully then was what struck me so powerfully when we were students: his gentleness, compassion, and kindness. Even though his stroke made communication laborious, he reached out and shared his wisdom with me, wisdom that I took to heart, and that has been meaningful to me since. It is so easy, then, to imagine how much he gave to his patients and their families. He was the embodiment of all that a physician should be!

Bob and I last met at our mini-reunion at Peter Stringham's placesee pictureBob, Eddie, Peter, and I worked together as students at P&S. What struck me so powerfully at this mini-reunion, was the same as what made Bob such an extraordinary classmate: his immense gentleness, compassion and kindnesshis ability to listen, understand, and bring thoughtful comfort. Even though his stroke made communication laborious, he reached out and shared his wisdom with meI can well imagine how he did the same for his patients and their families. He was, in sum, the embodiment of all that a physician should be.
