Bob was one interesting person. Along with my husband we were friends at the JCC. One day a group of us, including Bob went to S&H to eat. Bob got Steak Diane. That was the first time I every saw that. He really enjoyed it. He will always be missed.

A long time has passed since we were in high school however, I can still remember Bob's smiling face and warm hello. He could run down Fallstaff Road to school faster than I could walk.

Dear Liz, Michele and Stacey,

Finding Bob again after many years was such a joy it's difficult to put into words. I can't remember not knowing him even though there were long time lapses. Whether it was being a good friend in school or meeting for lunch later in life he was a part of my life I would not change for anything.

Thanks to Bob I also met and came to love all 3 of you, as our lifes now must go on we go together.

Love you all

Diana

He is the first thing I think about in the morning and the last thing I think about at night. I look at his picture first thing in the morning and I look at his picture the last thing before I close my eyes to go to sleep. I miss him terribly. I know he was only on loan to me and the girls, but I sure do wish he could have been on loan a bit longer. He was a first class guy who did everything first class. I ranted and raved about the excesses and secretly loved every minute of it. He knew it, but I would never admit it out loud. It would have been out of character for me. And God forbid I would have him say, "Haha, I told you so!"

I would've signed in earlier, but I was not yet ready. I am probably still not ready but for some reason, I now feel compelled to write.

First off, I want everyone to know that the kind and comforting words we received were appreciated more than anyone could know. It was absolutely incredible at how many condolences we received from people who I didn't have the foggiest notion of how they found out.

Tomorrow will be two months that Bob is gone now and it still seems surreal. I know that he's gone because I have to do the taxes, I have to get my own pocket cash at the ATM rather than running to the ATM of Bob's shirt-pocket, I have to talk to insurance people (which I hate) and I have to do the night driving even if my eyes are tired. And I have to take care of all those other annoying issues, phone calls, etc. that I totally relied on Bob to handle so I didn't have to deal with them. I can tell you alot of other reasons that I know it's real, but I won't. But the BIGGEST reason is that I love him and miss him so much.

I have learned ALOT since Bob's passing. I have learned that Bob had an incredible group of friends through the NW69 group and that the girls and I feel like a part of that family too. I have learned and come to appreciate that I, too, have an incredibly wonderful, caring and supportive circle of friends. At a time when I feel so alone, in other ways I feel so blessed and emotionally cared for. Such a cacophony of emotions! The more I force myself out of the house to go to work, go to the gym, the store, etc., the more I feel people silently cheering me on. It is very uplifting.

So, one foot in front of the other. One minute at a time, one hour at a time, one day at a time. Life is for the living. And we must live.

Dear Liz, Michelle and Stacy,

Bob and I went to school together. I thought very highly of him and he was a model of courage and inspiration to me, even then. I was not part of the 'in crowd' in high school and did not graduate off stage; nor did I participate in the 'mini reunions' but I did enjoy his emails and did communicate via email with him on occasion. It was I who suggested he set up a mailing list service at smart groups. I can not imagine the devastation of this loss to all of you and your family and you are in my thoughts and prayers. His untimely passing is a wake up call that each of us needs to express and show our love to others daily as we will not be in our earth suits forever. My best wishes to all of you for peace and healing--Iris

I was daddy's girl. My dad was my hero, my role model, my pal. He did more admirable things in his lifetime than most can do in two. He was a self-advocate, a motivator, and a friend. Dad accepted and overcame the challenges of life and gave me the courage to do the same. He was proud of me. He was proud of Stacy and loved Mom very much.

Dad appreciated little things in life as much as big things. He loved to go fishing. He loved quietly watching birds and deer in their element. Dad loved Starbucks and drive-throughs and over-tipping. He loved a good meal and a good orchestra. Dad loved knowing a little more than me, even if he didn't.

I miss him. I miss his strong, comforting hugs. I miss the way his hands looked and felt, and the way they smelled after he smoked a cigarette. I miss his the way his buttons were never lined up straight and that he wore those silly looking suspenders over his shirt. I miss our long conversations in the middle of the night, cause neither of us slept very well. I miss watching black and white comedies with him like Abbott & Costello and the 3 Stooges. I miss the look on people's faces when he rode up and down the escalator at the mall.

I love him. I love him for everything he stood for and for everything he did for me that has molded me into who I am today and who I aspire to become. I love that he said "I love you" and meant it. I love that in our last conversation he told me he would visit me after he dies, even though he claimed not to believe in that stuff, I know he did. My dad is truly irreplaceable.

He had this child-like excitement about the mini-reunions and probably talked about all of you who were involved as much as he talked about us to you. I cried for your loss as well.

I want to thank all of you who have expressed your condolences and have offered your support to me and my family through this devistating time. It means the world to us. I am truly sorry for your loss as well. I know my dad was a great friend to all of you; a co-worker, a mentor, an inspiration, a brother. Hugs to you.

Dear Horn Family:

I send my deepest and heartfelt sympathies on the loss of your beloved Husband and Father. Although I was not a "close" friend of Bob's either in school or in the time since then, he was always an open and compassionate man. Everyone was his friend and he made you feel comfortable. I'm sure it will be a great loss to you all. My best always, Lynda Stahl

Dear Liz, Michelle & Stacy,

Bob was an incredible man, an irreplaceable friend & an inspiration to all. He never understood or acknowledged the impact that he had on others. The world is a better place for Bob's all too brief visit. The lives he touched directly & indirectly have all been changed for the better.

Bob showed more concern for others than he did for himself. He lived life to the fullest...& he did it on his own terms. He didn't dwell on his pain. Life dealt him some blows that would have kept other men down. But, Bob faced the world with a smile, not a frown.

Our comfort is now in our special memories of Bob & knowing that he is no longer in pain.

It's been an honor & a privilege to share part of his life & to call him a friend.

My deepest sympathy & love always, Sallie

Dear Elizabeth, Stacy, and Michelle,

I don't know if Bob would remember me from high school, but I remember him.

Tall and thin, he moved faster on his crutches than some of us on two legs! He also had an easy smile.

When you think that there were almost 1000 people in our graduating class and I still picture him in my mind 35 years later, I think that says it all.

Bob was memorable. May you be blessed with warm and happy memories.

Dear Liz and Family,

I was so sorry to hear of your Bob's passing. My dad had passed away on Friday night and I didn't see the email for several days. My thoughts are with you. He was a wonderful guy in high school and continued this reputation. We all share in your loss and kow that we hold you close in our thoughts.

Dear Liz and family:

My husband, Bruce and I were so shocked to hear of Bob's passing. I knew Bob from highschool but we only knew each other through mutual friends. I had the opportunity to attend a few of the mini-reunions and got to know him better. I'm truly sorry I never got the chance to meet you. Please know that our prayers and thoughts are with you and your daughters in this time of sadness. I wish you peace and God's love.

Dear Elizabeth

We were so saddened to hear about your loss. I know that there isn't anything that one can do except to say that Bob touched all of our lives in a special way. He will be so missed by us all. Our mini reunions were wonderful and we have Bob to thank for bringing us together. He had a special talent for making one smile. Our Northwestern Family will be empty, but when we meet again, Bob will be with us always.

Dear Liz and family,

I am so sorry for your loss. We all owe so much to Bob for working so hard and diligently organizing the mini-reunions and bringing his classmates back together. Unfortunately, I was one of those that could not make it to any of the get togethers, but I always enjoyed hearing from Bob about who and what went on at those events. He was truly a special person and shall be greatly missed.

Please accept my deepest sympathies.

Liz and the girls,

What can anyone say that will embrace the magnitude of your loss? We all lost a wonderful, warm human being that constantly reminded of us all of where we came from and why it was important to remember that. I grieve with you as do many others. And also like many others, I'm grateful for the rekindling of friendships that Bob sparked.

I was very saddened to hear of Bob's passing. I knew him in high school and even then his warmth and cheery disposition were obvious. In recent years, he'd undertaken to organize these informal mini-reunions for our class, to keep us connected to one another. I was grateful for this, even though I lived in California and could rarely attend. But Bob had the energy and drive to keep it going. He will be sorely missed. And I just know that someday Bob, we're all gonna meet up again for one last great reunion...

Dear Liz,

There are no words to tell you how shocked and sad I was to hear of Bob's death. My thoughts and prayers are with you and the girls and I'm sending you a big hug. I have passed the sad news on to Lynn and your other friends at Lockheed.

Love, Diane

As soon as I heard the unfortunate news I was saddened at what a loss we all have suffered. I wish Bob was still here for purely selfish reasons. Please know Liz, Michelle and Stacey, that I will be here for you in anyway I can - at least as much as I can from Hawaii. I miss and love you all so much. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do.

~Much Love~

Dear Elizabeth & family:

We were totally shocked upon hearing of Bob's death. Joe and Bob grew up together. They went to William S Baer School & Northwestern High School. We have a picture of him doing a handstand on top of Joe's convertible. We have many fond memories of him. We express our sympathy on your loss.

Dear Liz, Michelle, and Stacy:

Many of us can remember Bob more clearly than just about anyone we knew in high school. I especially recall his cheerful and positive attitude that made him a pleasure to be around. As the years went by I recognized that he was truly an outstanding individual. We will all certainly miss him, but our memories of Bob will never fade.

I hope these thoughts will comfort you in the difficult days ahead.

Dear Liz, Michelle, and Stacey,

The news of Bob's sudden passing was quite jarring. I too had known him since Pimlico and he was a great role model. In more recent years, I had come to know Bob as someone who selflessly and energetically took upon himself the role of connecting our high school classmates and organizing periodic get-togethers. This is a terrible loss to all who knew and loved him.

Dear Liz, Michelle, and Stacey,

Words cannot even begin to express our loss. Bob was a dear and cherished friend from junior high. You were the light of his life - he never stopped talking about you and bragging about you. His friendship and sense of humor will remain in my heart forever. Please call if you ever need me.

Dear Liz, Michelle and Stacy,

Your husband and father was a great man. He not only was a great husband and dad, he was a cherished friend to so many of us! We have all suffered a trememdous loss here.

I lost my dad 4 weeks ago and Bob was the first one to jump in and say we your friends are coming over to cheer you up. He will be missed and never forgotten. I'm so thankful for being able to locate him again and for having the little bit of time with him that I had, to renew our old friendship. Love, Beth and Max
