Bob will be missed by his Croatan family. Always friendly, interested in others and in justice for all. Bob’s poetry was a treasure.

Bob and I met in high school. We played basketball, and our team won the the 29th District Police Athletic League basketball championship in the 1940's. We became lifelong friends.  I envied Bob's ability to keep playing into his 60's--full court with men 20 years younger!  I loved his poems, admired his activism, and miss his gentle voice. --Marv Weisbord

Thanks, Bob, for your  vision, love, honesty, gentleness, generosity, affirmation, laughter, courage, friendship. For your great heart, the sparkle in your eyes, the poems always about to emerge from the chrysalis of your imagination. Was there ever a more fitting or welcome email handle than yours?  1youngbob. Unforgettably yours.
