Jack and Sharon, we are very sorry for your loss.
Bob was a nice man, who took his responsibilities as a TAS advocate to heart. He was my first manager, teacher and friend at the IRS. The IRS has lost a caring employee, and the world has lost a caring person.

To the family of Bob, I am sorry for your loss. I work in the IRS with Bob, and have known him for years. He was such a kind man, never had a mean thing to say of anyone, and always smiled. Heaven has gained an angel, and an angel I'm sure Bob will be.

I knew Bob since we were kids in Rensselaer. He was my cousin and we spent many summers and weekends together. We had some great memories and great times getting through those high school years. Not to mention all the fun we had working at St John's Church. I remember he was always great with math. His humor kept us going through those years. I pray that he rests in peace.

Bob,
You were my first manager at the IRS in Latham on the night shift. We had so much fun there with our parties and with you. Thanks for the memories, my friend...
Rest in peace.

Bob. I've known you for 30 years. Way back when the PODs did not have IDRS machines, we called you for info. You were Nancy's manager. She told me about the fun times in Latham. We will both miss you very much. Rest in peace.

Bob was such a fun person to know. I never worked directly with him but we did work together with a few others on an amazing program that was held at the state assembly building. We had a lot of fun interviewing potential presenters, especially the magicians. He took special pleasure at my inability to understand the simplest trick and loved to remind me of it! I'll miss you, Bob.

Bob , I'm so sad to have lost you and even sadder not to have seen this coming. I will do my best to find Tiger a good home. I know losing Mom in 2006 has been hard for you. I'm sure you are together now and much at peace

Love
Jack..........
