It is with appreciation that we receive this opportunity to express sentiments about Bob 8 years after his passing. Surely all friends and family can confirm our experience of speaking about him fondly even to this day. That alone tells of a person's life having substance and meaning. A wonderful man and a wonderful legacy.

I was so saddened to hear of Bob's passing while reading the Colgate Scene. Bob was one of my favorite classmates at Colgate. We were on the French Study Group in Dijon together and he was such a delight. We all had nicknames and his was Monsieur LeVert. He had a wonderful knack for walking into a room and making us all smile. He was such as great pal as we experienced, (and laughed alot), all of the differences between French life and that in the U.S. I regret that I lost touch with Bob over the years since Colgate, but he has been in my thoughts often over the years and I will continue to keep him in my thoughts. My deepest condolences to Bill,and all of Bob's family and friends.
Fondly, Colgate Friend Sue Stone ( Mlle LaPierre)

Dear Bill,
I just received the sad news of Bob and send my heartfelt sympathy to you. Besides the benefits of our yoga classes, the two of you were a joyous, fun,spark to those hours.

Dear Bill,
Bob was a hoot! He made me laugh. Now he makes me cry because such a talented, intellectual and caring man is gone. He will live on in all our memories. Today I felt a great loss.

Bill,
We are so glad you gave us the opportunity to tell Bob, in person, just how much he meant to us and his importance to our lives. Now it's time to tell you. We both hope that at the time of our greatest need we have someone who will give the unselfish, loving and complete support that you provided for Bob. You both have been a living leason on what a productive and inspirational life together means.

As a first cousin of Bob, and growing up with him I remember how he tought me to love and appreciate musicals by preparing before I went to see one. He told me to get the soundtrack and read the notes about the musical. Bob I will really miss you and treasure all the good times we had together.

In the past year, I came to care, know and share in Bob's triumps through Bill and his loving narratives about Bob. One of my favorites was Bob and his love of singing. Bill relayed with pride and humor that while Bob struggled to speak, he could certainly belt out all the words to his best loved songs.
Bob, the heavely chorus just grew lovelier and sweeter with your voice. Please watch over Bill, your dad, family and friends and help ease the sorrow in their hearts.

Prayers and thoughts go out to Bill and Bob's family. Although I only knew Bob through Bill, there were many hello's over speaker phones and a smiling picture of Bob that put a smile on my face during difficult times. May you celebrate Bob and all the wonderful memories that you have held in your heart. Living is not a matter of counting years, but making the years count. In the tribute to Bob, he made all his years count.
