I just learned of your illness and regret not having been in touch sooner. I didn’t realize you were in the SF Bay Area when I worked @Stanford. I will always remember all the weekend Highschool parties with all our mutual friends, the Prom @Merced High and Poly Royal @Cal Poly. You were a great date and friend, and will be dearly missed. PS: I’ve donated $25 to Doctors Without Borders in your honor.

It was always my pleasure to converse with Bob during our high school days. It did not surprise me when I learned later that he entered the political arena.
