I'm saddened at the news of Bob's passing. I've known him since the late 1970's when I took art classes at QU. He was a major influence as supported, encouraged, and challenged me as an artist. Bob was always kind and I greatly enjoyed his company. He has left a legacy that is unmatched, and his influence and teaching will continue impacting generations to come. Rest in peace, Bob.

He was a good teacher, and artist, with a beautiful soul. He understood creativity was like the universe of your . " mistakes and spontaneous marks where the mother of creation. " he'd say... as far as art and creatively are concerned. We'll miss you

I loved having Mr. Mejer as a teacher for watercolors during the summers at QC...after graduating.

Such a gifted teacher and artist!

Bob was a eccentric and
Brilliant man. Never one to dance to his own drummer, the world will be less without him.
