My heartfelt sympathy goes out to his family and anyone who knew him. His children, whom we talked about quite often, were his world! He was so proud. Bob was a very kind, warm and sweet person and I enjoyed talking with him when he would come to Fogarty Hall and help us with IT issues. He always smiled and always wore something blue. I will never forget him and I will keep his family in my thoughts...

Words cannot express how much I am going to miss Bob's kind heart, gentle nature and the way his eyes lit up when he spoke about Silas and Tess. Being the lone man in an office full of women, he was a brave soul. He truly cherished his family and shared many wonderful stories of his parents and sisters. Please know that Bob meant a lot to us at the College of Nursing and we will miss him beyond measure
