Bob was my fraternity brother at Albion (he is in the lower right of the attached photo, taken at one of our meetings some time in the mid-90s.) I was profoundly saddened to hear of his passing, and I know that all of us from that "era" in our chapter´s history remember Bob with great fondness. May his memory be a blessing to all who knew him.

I knew Bob from ASA, and we spent a few summers together. He definitely added some joy to ASA. I´m so sorry to hear about his passing, and I pray for healing for his family.

I was shocked and saddened to hear of Bob's untimely passing. Bob was my tennis instructor at Wimbledon Tennis Club in St. Clair Shores, Michigan. He was a great teacher, and, ultimately, a wonderful friend. Bob was extremely honest, intelligent, kind and forthright. He was a great listener and would offer thoughtful, deep insights. He left me a beautiful message on my voice mail, around this time last year, thanking me for our friendship, which I have kept and will keep forever. I am so thankful that he was a part of my life. I was blessed to know him. He will forever be in my heart. Rest in Peace my friend. Save me some court time in heaven.
