I just recently heard of Bob's transition. I was also one of the group of friends of Bob's the last few years at St. Cat's H.S. We all enjoyed many good times together. Bob was unpredictable and funny, and I'll treasure the memories we all share. My sincere condolences to Barbara.

I attened St. Catherine's with Bob and was his "date" at several parties. After moving away in 1961 I lost track of him. I am very sorry to learn of his passing.

I was one of about six or eight guys and girls who were close friends with Bob during the last two years at St. Catherine's. Bob was usually the life of any party, one wild and crazy guy. Even ran into Bob at the SF airport in 1969 when I was in the Navy. Truly a memorable pleasure to have known him.
