We miss Bob so much. We worked together for many years and thereafter often had lunch. His knowledge and friendship meant so much to me.

Dear Jane and family. I am truly without words to express my surprise and my grief at receiving your report of his death. I somehow missed it in the Post. I suspect because I least expected to see such since we were with him on the 11th and he was looking so good and in great spirit.

I lost my wife suddenly in an auto accident. She was alone in the car. I know how such an immediate death can be difficult to accept. It takes time and one must remember the good times. Bob was an outstanding civilian servant for which you and the family can be justifiably proud. His ethics were of the highest as was his professional acumen. I cherished his friendship and our professional association.
May you and your family find your way through this sudden loss and fill your hearts with all the good memories and love that you shared during his lifetime. May God be with you in this time of need.

Robert L. Moore, Lt. General, U.S. Army, Retired.

I worked with Bob for early 30 years, the last ten in the same office suite. We went fishing in the Bay a few times and I always looked forward to having lunch with him when I was in No. VA. A good friend and co-worker -- I shall miss him.

Dear Jane
We were shocked and saddened to hear from Ann Hiban of Bob's death. Bob was my best friend in High School and we fondly remember him participating in our wedding. More recently we have enjoyed sharing emails ( jokes, political commentary and family updates). Dick's 50th Med School reunion is next Oct and hope to see you then. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time.
Affectionately, Dick and Fran O'Brien
