This is a tremendous loss for all of us who believe in the power of community. I feel fortunate to have worked with him in 2 community organizations. He demonstrated every day what it means to be a good neighbor in the broadest sense of the phrase. His work lives on after him. A job well done, Bob!

Bob had a vision of what the world could be. That world was all about inclusive thoughtful community. And Bob lived the change he wanted to see. Both in his relationships with individuals and in his actions as a community leader. I’ll miss him, but I will bring aspects of him with me forever.
