I worked for Bob about 30 years ago. What a wonderful boss! I've had him on my mind so strongly that I looked him up online and learned of his very recent passing. Bob - thank you for placing a 35mm camera in my hands back then. It was the beginning of a passion for photography that brought me much joy and income. Although you died too young, I am happy you were around to see your children marry and give you grandkids. See you on the other side one day.

Hi Bob,
Was not aware you were suffering with a form of pulmonary fibrosis. We last saw each other at our 50th Anniversary from St. Joe's. I was also diagnosed with this terminal disease, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, in August 2015. My life expectancy is not the greatest either. My wife Karen and I had the pleasure of seeing your lovely wife Sue the night of the wake. She is such a strong caring woman. She provided us with so much insight regarding PF. My wife Karen is Canadian and I refer to her as "Canadian Strong." She is like Sue helping me battle this crappy disease. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Sue and your family. Will see you again in paradise forever when God calls me home.

I was very saddened to hear of Bob's passing. My deepest sympathy to Sue and the entire family. I was a frat brother at Marquette and shared a lot of laughs with both Bob and Mike. With wishes for peace,

My sympathies to Bob's family on his passing. I was a classmate of Bob at Joseph and I rode the school bus with him. I was also a classmate of Bob at Marquette. My regret is that I did get to know him better as he was a good guy and had a great chuckle laugh. I am sorry for your loss.
