Bob, you greeted the whole wide world and the people in it with a smile, a handshake, and a joke. That was the gift you offered everyone you ever met, at least in my presence, and I don't ever remember that perfect offering not instantly bring a smile (or a laugh) to someone's face. Who does that? Seriously. Who makes a habit of trying to spread a bit of a joy to everyone? Was it all to collect smiles or free pens? I don't think it matters. It worked on all counts. You offered up a template for being a complete human in all situations. That gift you spread so widely and universally also supported me in so many ways that I understood and appreciated at the time, but now understand more deeply without you here. I miss you Bob. Thank you for being my father-in-law, friend, neighbor, music tutor, movie critic, car guru, and personal comedian-at-large.

I will never forget what a tremendous father you were. Raising four daughters couldn’t have been easy, but you never hesitated to drop everything to rush to our aid when we needed it. You taught me so much about life: modeling the kind of person who isn’t too proud to apologize, and showing me when to let the candle burn at both ends to achieve the impossible. I will think of you every time I see a Volvo on the road, hear a funny joke I want to share with you, listen to classical music in the car, and come up with another set of homophones for our ongoing list. I will think of you when I eat grapes, see an episode of Columbo, and wear my own pair of ugly shoes. I will think of you every day. And though I wish there were more, I am grateful for every minute I shared with you.

Bob was an amazing character and a proud father, husband, and grandfather. I remember meeting Bob for the first time and being terrified about how he would respond to a long haired hippy freak who wanted to date his daughter - he shook my hand (very firmly) and quickly put me at ease. I will miss the quick wit and jokes that didn't always make sense to me but cracked himself up. Bob was always there when anyone needed him and he was always a friendly person to talk to (unless you happened to be a phone customer service agent) May Bob rest in peace and the world is a lesser place without him.

There are so many great memories of Bob. The jokes my god. Nacho cheese, sparrow rib, many more. The time we were bowling and we told you to line up the marks on the floor and you asked” what marks” lol it was a blast. Driving you and Maria down to San Antonio we were hot on the wakie talkies I had of course you were cracking jokes the whole time. To many to think of I’m going to miss you Bob. You always made me feel welcome and I cherish the time we had together. God speed.
