Dear Caroline,
We think of Rob frequently. He was such a kind and generous man. Bob fondly remembers him checking in on him in the hospital after his cancer surgery so many years ago. I recall many splendid reunion get-togethers with the Louds and the Daggetts, and also just the 4 of us. You have both been such dear friends. RIP Rob.

I am so sorry to hear of Rob's passing.  My condolences to all who loved him.  As my first year residency supervisor, he was my introduction to what a psychiatrist can, and should, be.  After residency, he was a trusted colleague and mentor.  May his memory be a blessing.
