You would be so proud of your grandson who was inducted into the Junior Beta Club.  I miss you more and more each day.  When I'm at work and I need advice on documentation, I miss being able to call you and go off on a tangent of random Monty Python quotes after getting the help I needed.  Every day I try to do you proud with all that you have taught me both in life and professionally.  I am so happy to have started working for you and traveling with you all over the country.  Between us fighting over the placement of the condiments at dinner, the chatting on the long car rides.  The singing out loud of songs in the radio, embarrassing whoever was with us, and just being able to be with my dad made it the best part of all.  I miss you so much.  Hug mom for me and tell her to not give you a hard time if you accidentally add cloves to the chicken and rice.  I love you both.

The Coding community has lost a great leader. I was able to meet him once for a coding education session - he made things that were hard to understand easy. His kindness and cheerfulness never ended. He will be greatly missed by many. My condolences to his family.

I was stationed with Commander Gold at the Naval Hospital in Naples, Italy.  He was ALWAYS a wonderful doctor, friend and comrade.  I respected him, the rank he held and his genuine kindness to everyone.  My memories of him will last me all my days.  I met his wife Judy back in those days too and she was his equal for all the same reasons.  My condolences to his family.  He was a treasure.  Fair winds and following seas, Dr. Gold.  I salute you!

I am sorry it took so long for  me to know that a great Man, Teacher and friend has past from this life to God's Hands.  I will always remember the simplicity of explanations in coding and medical conditions.  He was the greatest mentor I have  ever had, I will  miss him a lot.  To all of his family God Bless!

Bob was the QUINTESSENTIALLY perfect neighbor everybody wishes to have. My husband Michael and I lived across the street from him for over a decade, and just what a tremendous loss for our whole neighborhood, the Briers. Briers will never be quite the same.  My heart hurts for us and his wonderful family, and I know he was looking down on the Memorial Service held for him this past Saturday with a smile...as his beautiful daughter Samantha spoke so lovingly of him...it was very well done by all who contributed. Dr. Gold was a wonderful person, always happy and cheerful, iconic in every way - admirable by ALL. May he rest in peace, and Heaven is a very cheerful place with him there!! Love to all who loved him....we surely did.

What a loss, both personally and professionally, for all who knew Dr. Gold.

Wonderful to see how Dr. Gold influenced so many of our lives.  What a joy to have known him and experienced his truly unique ability to communicate and relate to all of us.  He will be missed.

News traveled among the medical/surgical coding communities.  What a huge loss of a passionate physician who bridged communication between his colleagues, coders and clinical documentation professionals through his newsletters, his website, his presentations, and his one-on-one phone calls. After reading about him in the obituary, he was dynamic and fun; and he certainly made every day count!! Your memories brought smiles to my heart. Please hold onto those memories.  My heartfelt sympathies go out to you and your family. I prayed God will give each of you the comfort and peace, knowing that Dr Robert Gold rest in peace. I will be thinking and praying over the funeral this Saturday.  We will never forget him and his legacy.

RIP.  You will be greatly missed.  I've learned so much from you these past 14 years.  Thank you so much for all that you've done.  We love you!!

RIP.  You will be greatly missed, Dr. Gold.  Thank you for all that you've done.  We love you.

I loved Dr. Gold!  Worked with him on CDI projects and just talked to him a couple of weeks ago about a potential project collaboration.  I loved his humor and his down to earth tell-it-like-it-is attitude.  He will be missed by many.

I met Dr Gold on a few occassions, such a charming man and a brilliant educator.  What a loss not only for his family but to the documentation field, he is irreplaceable.  My deepest sympathy-

My heart is broken. Sometimes there are no words to express the feelings of the heart. How do I describe the most selfless person I know? How do I explain the multitude of ways Bob has helped and guided me over the years, generously sharing his time and knowledge? Sometimes in life, you find a special friend, someone who changes your life just by being part of it. Bob made this world a better and happier place and I will miss him every day. I believe God saw he was getting tired when a cure was not to be, so he wrapped his arms around him and said "come to me". Goodbye my sweet friend, it was an honor to have you in my life. May cherished memories bring comfort to family and friends. He will live forever in our hearts.

To Dr. Gold's Family,
I worked with Dr. Gold for years and he truly was an expert in the field of CDI/Coding. 

And always so helpful.

Please accept our condolences.

I am so terribly sorry for the loss of this great man.  I have depended on his wisdom and kindness for many years.  He has assisted many many coders and CDI personnel with his knowledge.  He will be missed by a multitude of fans.
Prayers for his family and his staff.

Prayers to the Gold Family. Dr. Gold was a remarkable person and one that I will never forget.

My precious friend Rob/Bob, how can I live without you?  You were the light and laughter in my life, my soul mate, my beloved Judy's husband, father of beautiful children and grandchildren, giver of unexpected gifts and always a confidant and cheerleader.  I worried and fretted over you for years and was so very happy when Valerie came into your life, I could finally worry less when she did.  Rest in Peace my buddy, I'll see you before long.  Michael, Jonathan, Samantha,  and Valerie, feel the love coming your way.  Robert Stanley Gold was one very special man.  The world is a better place because he lived among us.

Rest in peace. Thanks Dr. Gold for all you did for Clinical Documentation Improvement. May memories give comfort and peace to his family.

I can't even describe how much I loved him, and I've only met him once.  Our industry would be not much without him.  All my love to his family, Lisa Marie Carter, RN BSN CCDS, Denver

I will always remember Bob as a true gentleman... RIP

I am very saddened by Dr. Gold's death. He mentored me in my initial journey in hospital consulting and was a strong advocate of truth balanced with grace.  I will always be indebted to his leadership. My deep sympathies to his family.

Rob was an amazing man in so many ways.  I know he will be greatly missed by all that know him.  Thoughts and prayers to all.

Bob was a great brother-in-law, uncle and great uncle.
He will always be remembered and missed.

There will never be a man the likes of Dr. Gold. I always loved when he came to Middlesex Hospital to train us, sharing his knowledge along with his inevitable wit. RIP, Dr. Gold. So glad to have known you.

So sorry for your loss.  I met Dr. Gold  a few years ago when he came to our hospital to present information to our physicians  around ICD 10. In talking with him, he was passionate and caring about his work and message.  The CDI community has lost a great partner. and friend.

It's difficult to think of Bob without remembering his sense of humor.  Those of us who received the "Gold Family Newsletter" at Christmas time can appreciate what this means.

I am so glad that I had a chance to know him, both professionally and personally.  He will be greatly missed. 

Sincere condolences to Bob's family -  I am so sorry for your loss.

Dr Gold had such a delightful way of making the world of medical data interesting and fun. He understood the impact of high quality documentation on patient care - and he truly cared, giving 100% towards improving the process. In person and in his educational articles, his humor was always appreciated and he will be missed!

May the God of all comfort strengthen the family during this time of deep sorrow. Those who pass on, God keeps in his memory because they are precious in his eyes. My sincerest condolences. Psalms 116:15.

We will always remember the great Navy Hospital Orlando Surgical Clinic reunion weekend.  Fun times, hugs, laughs, memories.

I often called him Dr. G when we worked together at Healthcare Management Advisors (HMA).  He was HMA's Vice President of Clinical Information Services from 1999  2002 and served hundreds of clients throughout the country. Besides his great intellect and ability to communicate most effectively with coders, nurses, physicians and administrators, he had a great wit and sense of humor. I remember that he loved his family and Mustang convertible, wore some of the most unique ties, collected baseball cards and unopened McDonald's Kids's Meal toys, was a great cook, and always went overboard with Halloween and Christmas decorations in his front yard. I will miss him, and expect that many more will, too.
