So sorry too hear of Bobs passing. Bob and I talked often about our shared love of music. I remember what a great athlete he was before his accident and he will be missed…

I was saddened to hear about Bob. We shared a passion for the Gonzaga basketball team. He always liked to talk to me about "Gunsmoke" because he knew my mom also watched it all of the time. He was such a nice man. I miss being able to reach out to him after games or see him attending one. I shall think of him often. 

Argh, where do I start? My sincere condolences. I loved Bob. He was just about the only person besides myself who truly believed that I had talent as a writer.  Truly believed. Our friendship goes way back.  We are both writers and collaborated on one script.  And talked about a million other ideas.  I guess my mission in life now is to sell that script to make Bob proud of me. He was just a  funny and kind man who loved movies and his beloved Zags. He will never leave my heart. I  might post more later if that's okay. He was just a great man.  

Bob will be truly missed. His witty sense of humor, insightful knowledge of the ZAGs and generous spirit were an inspiration to us all.  He was there for me during a rough patch in my life and I hope I was able to make his life a little brighter at times. He touched so many of us with his dedicated commitment to the GUBoard.  I will forever regret that I only spoke with him episodically these last two years. Bob I will miss you 😢

I am deeply saddened by Bob's passing. He was an extraordinary person. I witnessed his talents and creativity first hand as we worked together, along with Christine DeSmet, on a screenplay that we had hoped to see produced in his lifetime. Bob never gave up on it.  But this was only one of his many creative projects that touched so many people's lives. Bob was generous with his time and always encouraging and positive.  I offer my condolences to his family.    

So sorry to hear of the passing of my writing partner and friend, Bob Shill. Together with Peggy Williams we won the Slamdance Film Festival one year and optioned the screenplay to New Line Cinema. This was one of the big thrills in Bob's life and mine, certainly. For over 20 years we continued working on screenwriting together up until the past few months. We often talked about his beloved Zags and he kept track of the Badgers, too. Bob's phone calls and emails were always the highlight of my day. He was a sweet guy, a wonderful friend. And what a talent he was! He will be missed but he left his mark on my life and my writing. I'm a better person because of Bob. He lives on. Please accept my condolences. --Christine DeSmet, Madison, Wis.
