A man this wonderful. Should be left fortis world. But I guess God want him up there as much as we do

Dr. Haberstroh was a demanding, tough and exceptional mentor/professor. He was the ""best of the best"" of my instructors and I will miss him. I still think of him frequently and what I learned from him.  God speed to you and prayers and blessings to your family.

I was so sad to hear of Dr Haberstroh passing.  He was the BEST teacher I ever had.  He touched many lives and taught me how to learn.

What a great teacher.  And what a cool guy.  The hard, strict reputation was just a facade.  Scratch off a millimeter or two, and you discovered he was a sweetheart.  He expected excellence, and usually got it.  I use the lessons he taught me EVERY DAY-and think of him often-30 years later.

Dear Marilyn and family, 
I was so terribly sorry to hear of Bob's death recently.  I had been out of town, back in Chicago visiting Greg whom you may remember. Someone in the neighborhood told me.  Please accept my condolences for your loss.  I know it is nver easy.
With sincere sympathy,
Maxine

Aeronautics was one of my most difficult classes, but Dr. Haberstroh made it the most interesting and memorable of all that I took.  He had such passion for the topic and would pause during class when a WWII plane would fly over.  Without seeing it he could tell you what kind of aircraft it was just by the sound.  His demonstration of his hand built rubber-band-powered planes (w/hand made propeller) was fascinating.

Bob and I were in the Army together.  Corresponded with Christmas letters ever since, although we only managed to get together once in D.C.  We had one great visit to his home in Johnstown, PA, most memorable for the unbelievably enormous serving of pie for dessert.  Sorry to hear of his death.

I have the up most respect for Dr. Haberstroh.  Many engineering students dreaded his class because we all knew he was strict and tough.  One day he shouted, ""I'm not just teaching heat transfer, I'm teaching you how to solve problems, and that is what will make your future"".  For me that was one of a few moments in my life when I truly understood something new.

Sending my deepest condolences and love to Martha, Paul, Emily, and Adela.

It was my pleasure to work with Bob in various Faculty Council capacities for many years, and I always appreciated his wisdom and his candor. His strong support of faculty at CSU has had beneficial outcomes for many.

Bob was an unwitting mentor to me and others. We thought we were just flying model airplanes, but Bob was teaching us grace and patience. I'm sixty five, and I will miss these times and these lessons from him. I was still learning. The pain in my heart reminds me of my own father's passion for the same hobby. They are both soaring high above us now, and experiencing their dreams. God bless this man.

I was sorry to hear Bob??Ts passing away. It was a pleasure to have been his colleague for many years at CSU, and we shared many conversations over life and work. He was a stalwart member of the Faculty Council always scrupulous in seeing that its rules were followed without deviation.

Mary & Connie send their condolences to Martha, Paul and the girls and also to Marilyn.

Our heart, love and prayers are with you during this very difficult time.  Our thoughts are with Marilyn and family.

It is sad to learn of Bob's death.  He contributed so much to the CSU Department of Mechanical Engineering, including teaching heat transfer to thousands of students.  My condolences go out to his family and acquaintances.

I am so sad to hear of Bob's passing. We hadn't been in touch in recent years but I will always remember Bob showing me his house and his treasures. The cars, the Escher prints, maps, the model trains. I was honored that he shared that part of his world with me. I remember that a conversation with Bob would often leave me thinking long afterwards, what an insightful person Bob was. His big heart will be missed. My sincere condolences to Marilyn.
