May he eternally rest in peace. While I was never on the same assignment with Bob when I was a FSR in the Central and Western Areas working for P.K. Smith, and Ralph Fagan or Frank Maloney I did cross paths many times. Bob was a true gentleman and a peaceful person to be around. It's hard to imagine so so many years have passed since those "repping" days and how I used to look forward to the retiree gatherings put together by Frank Maloney and Joe Ofria. May the peace of our Lord be with your family.

I was sorry to learn of Bob's passing. I knew Bob well and worked closely with him when he was a field rep at Korean Air Lines in Seoul and Japan Airlines in Tokyo and I was Pratt & Whitney's Customer Support Manager for those airlines at the time. His knowledge of the customers and our products, his sense of humor, and our friendship were much appreciated. I regret that I did not stay in touch with Bob in his later retirement years. He was truly one of "the Good Guys".

It is with sadness that I learned of your loss. While I never worked directly with Bob, I was a Fleld Rep at P&W at the same time he was, and had occasion to interface with him during the time I worked with Frank Maloney in the Field Service Administration Group. I know full well the special qualities Bob had to have had to be "a Rep" and the sacrifices that his family had to endure. I will always consider fellow Reps as my brothers. May Bob enjoy eternal joy in the presence of our Lord.
