It´s been a long time but I wanted to express my heartfelt sympathies on the passing of Dr Bob Beideman. I was his student at Penn. I am Registered Dental Hygienist. I valued Dr Bob do very much. I learned a lot and still practicing 40 plus years later recall so many times those things I was taught by him. May he rest easy.

Dear Mary Ellen and family, Tom and I are so sad to hear about Dr. Beideman passing away. I was pretty shocked. Our radiology dept. had such fond memories of the fun and all the laughs we shared. I will sorely miss him and he will always be in my thoughts, a part of my life and never forgotten. He was loved by all of us. Love Janet Muich

I was your student in the oral hygiene school at University of Pennsylvania. I am still working full time as a dental hygienist and I am not really good at reading dental radiographs, but also new graduates seek out my skill. I owe my skill to your unique teaching style and your true love of your profession. I am truly a better clinician because of you. When I learned of your passing, I was truly saddened, but ultimately I remembered all you gave to your students through out the years and I smiled. Thank you for you
