Please accept the condolences of the Millstone Chemistry department at the loss of Bob. He was a giant in our industry. Many of us remain who learned our profession at the hands of Bob. He was an outstanding mentor and a man to be admired. He is sorely missed. His brother and sister veterans thank him for his service to our country.

I knew Bob for over 45 years. We worked side by side for many them and I was always in awe of the knowledge he passed along regarding nuclear plant chemistry. He was always quick to help out with general problems too, especially those around the house. I will always remember the interesting conversations we had and wish we had been able to spend more time together this past year or so. You will be missed.

We learned much from Bob in our early career days at Millstone and CY. He was gracious in teaching, and 'exacting' with how we maintained corrosion control.

A gentleman, and I'm proud to have learned from, and worked with, Bob.

My sympathy to family and friends.
