May you find comfort in the unforgettable moments you shared with Robert. Isaiah 60:19,20
Uncle Bobby will be missed. He was a good man.
God Bless you I know you are now in Heaven with Jesus, Mother and Daddy watching over us all. My love and sympathy to Joan and your entire family. Bob your spirit will always be alive in everybody’s heart and memories. Your loving sister, Kathryn
Bob was my first boss and mentor at E-Systems. He taught me to look beyond the obvious in designing software. He fought for what was best for the warfighter. I admired Bob for his technical skills and his courage to stand up for his beliefs. I will miss him.
I had the pleasure of working with Bob at E-Systems, and occasionally I went to lunch with him and Dennis Nickle. Bob was a special person and very good at surfacing issues so they could be fixed. He will truly be missed. Thanks for sharing Bob with us and I want to express my deep sorrow for his passing.
Our condolences to the family during this difficult time. Our hearts and and thoughts are with them.
Sorry for your loss. We will keep your family in our prayers
