Bob was one of the nicest guys I ever met. I worked upstairs in Humphreys Service Building, and any time I saw him in the Carpenter Shop he had time to say hello or answer a question. The world has lost a congenial, competent, funny and good hearted man.
I only earned of his passing this morning, too late to make a visit last night or this morning. Linda and I will be making a donation to the Bread of Life Food Pantry as Bob requested. Our sincere sympathy to all his family and friends.

To the family,
My heart goes out to you all at this time of loss. May the fond memories you shared together be a source of comfort, especially in the days ahead. Losing someone that means so much to you is very hard, so please know that God promises he will soon. Do away with all sickness and death. (Revelation 21:4). So may you continue to rely upon him, family and friends.

I haven’t seen Bobby for many years but was just thinking of him the other day and then saw his obit - it was quite a shock. We played lots of Barton Ball together and I often had to guard him - a difficult task. He loved to shoot and had a great shot with a quick release from the outside. He was very competitive but also had a great sense of humor and fun to play with - better to be on his team then oppose him! He talked about his girls a lot and was a very proud Dad. I used to see him at Cornell Hockey games as well. So sorry to hear he passed at such a young age. My condolences to his family though I’ve never met you.

I have wonderfully fond memories of playing basketball with and against Bobby—both at Barton Hall and in the Cortland YMCA adult league. (These memories date back to 1990, when I first arrived in Ithaca, and run through his retirement from Cornell and his concurrent move down to Binghamton.)
Among our colorful and diverse cast of characters who participated in the Barton Hall noon-hoops group (and the erstwhile Sunday morning group), Bobby was always a treat to have on the court--based on his smile and his infectious enthusiasm for the game and for all of us in our community of players.
Although Bobby loved to shoot—and was a great finisher at the rim, too—I never found him to be a black hole. Instead, he shared the ball with his teammates—and competed hard.
Perhaps my most vivid recollection comes from what Bobby would typically say when one of his outside shots would rattle and carom around the rim around before sinking through. Those of you who, like me, were at one time Barton hoop junkies, will no doubt recall Bobby's typical comment: “Clean living!”
A wonderful motto—in basketball and in life.
