Bob – We will miss you, thanks for the mentoring you provided. SAS is Amazing. Jason
I 1st met Bob in 1976 as part of the AT&T family, and worked with him many times over the years. Bob has to be the most laid-back person I ever met. And always such a pleasure to work with. I’ll never forget his ‘1 pound a week’ diets. When he wanted to cheat, people would be passing donuts hidden in folders over the cubicle walls. Of course he’d deny eating anything even though powdered sugar would be visible around his mouth. The same with M&M’s, denying it with the M&M colors on his hands. Then he’d laugh since he never could tell a lie! My deepest sympathy to his family and to those who loved him. I know he’ll be greatly missed.
Greetings…Govan and Carr Family, We are so sorry for your loss. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. God Bless, Anthony, Montrose and Adom
I first met Bob around 1977 when I transferred from Cleveland to Washington Data Services. Right away we became friends even brothers, I think. We shared several common interests. The main one was discussing the “finer points” on just about anything (ie argue). Name a subject and we would “discuss it”: the Washington Redskins, Maryland & Georgetown basketball teams. who could whip whom when we were in high school it was all trash talking and it was fun… Bob and I worked together at AT&T for about 30 years. During that time we played basketball, bowled, played cards at lunch (pinochle). All of these he excelled in. Bob was truly a great man. He was kind and giving. He did become an “office resource” when it came to this language/tool called “SAS”. Just about everyone would come and ask him questions. I can still hear him say “SAS is amazing”… Rest in Peace my friend. You will be missed!! robert harding 1/27/2017
