I´m grateful for Bob's fun stories, his movie-themed dinners, and his cooking - not just - great Hungarian food. He enjoyed his Hungarian heritage, especially his two visits to Hungary. He gave an oral-history interview at the Hungarian National Széchényi Library (Országos Széchényi Könyvtár) in 2017. And his daily pictures always amazed me. Bob will be missed by many. Rest in peace, Bob. Isten nyugosztalja!
