Tom Isbell wrote a sympathy message

“I first met Bob playing noontime basketball. His jump shot was good; his kindness as a human being was even better. He was someone I respected a great deal — someone I always enjoyed running into in the hallways of UMD, someone whose laughter I appreciated, someone who made the campus - and the world - better.”

Greg Mielke wrote a sympathy message

“I had the opportunity to enjoy my lunch hour with Bob at UMD a few years back playing noon basketball. He always seemed to enjoy playing and he had a pretty consistent outside shot. Sorry for your loss, but the memories of Bob will live on. Take care.”

Linda Deneen wrote a sympathy message

“Dear Laura and family, I am so sorry for your great loss. I worked with Bob at UMD, where he was in charge of space assignments. This was a very hard job, as people can be quite territorial. Nevertheless, Bob did it very well. He used good data to make his decisions, but he also applied his wonderful people skills to help smooth the way. I will miss him greatly.”
