Myles, 
I will miss you dad, Sir Robert Gwynne Temby. 
I will miss making the yearly phone call on August 1st. 
I will miss his letters to Joy & myself.  
I have saved many of them, they are so cheerfull and precious.  
I met Mr. Temby in October 1974 when he first hired me at Easterday Supply.
Then he went to ABM, then 450 Sutter then Holter Associates Realtors where he took a listing from me, a building on Divisadero St., B-4 it was fashionable.  The building had 3 fires, it burned out the entire inside of the 3 story building.  You could stand on the ground floor and look at the stars above.  No one else would even look at the building much less take a listing.  THAT DID NOT STOP BOB.
And he sold it in no time at all.  One of many great stories.  Phil Bill

Myles,
Letting you know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Your dad touched our lives in many special ways.  Praying the Lord will strengthen and comfort you during this difficult time. 
With heartfelt sympathy,
Susan Strasser Spaulding

Growing up you get a sense of the type of people your parents are from the friends they have around them - Your Mom and Dad made me proud that my Mom and Dad had friends like them!!
The "David Niven" in my life!! Always enjoyed being with him!             
He will live forever in the great memories he has left with all of us.
Your life long buddy, Bill Seifert

Myles, I'm so sorry to hear that you have lost your father.  I know that you were close to him.  He was an important presence in your life, and he will be missed by you and others.  He was a man of character and class.  My deepest condolences to you in this time of trial.  

All my best to you and Kathy.

Jeff

My deepest sympathy to you and your family on the loss of your father   I, too remember him when I first met him at 450 Sutter Street when he was the building manager.  We had good times at the Starlight Roof at the Sir Francis Drake Hotel, and your father introduced me to you!  What a wonderful man, I'll miss him and his warmth and sense of humor.  He was a very special person.  Sharing your sorrow with love and friendship.  Christine :)

"Remember, Myles - it's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog."

One of the adages learned, early on, from your Dad. Another: "No hitch-hiking, Myles, and certainly not with that idiot friend of yours!"

So sorry for your loss, Myles, and so thankful for Kathy being by your side during a very tough time. Lots of Love to Both of You,

Myles, my heartfelt condolences on Bob's passing. I have many great memories of him: at 450 Sutter (with that motley crew); at the top of the Sir Francis Drake; at Carmel and Pebble Beach; at Trader Vic's; at your wedding with Kathy; on the phone in Sun City... I'm sure he will be missed by many and remembered well by all. Best wishes, Paul

"BOB"

Bob Temby died today 3/16

He's now he's with his Sweet Josephine

Bob was a traveler beyond his teens

On the rails like a hobo to places like New Orleans

Then on to Hollywood to mingle with celebrities

As a Captain in the Merchant Marines he went to places we've never seen

Good-bye old friend! Hope some day we will meet again...

We miss you St. Robert the gentle shepherd ....especially your smiling face...all your phone calls, wonderful letters and carepackages.  We know you're having a martini on the 19th Hole with Josephine and all your friends at Palmbrook Country Club.  We'll miss you Dad.  We Love you.

Myles, our deepest condolences on the loss of your father. We have many fond memories of times spent with him. He was a joy to be with!

Jeff and Shawn Holter

Myles, I'm very sorry for your family's loss, may the memories of time shared, lessons learned, smiles, laughs and celebrations soften the pain of healing.

I hold it true, whate'er befall;
I feel it, when I sorrow most;
'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all.
From Alfred Lord Tennyson's poem In Memoriam:27, 1850:

Very sorry to hear about your father's passing. I recall meeting him at your parent's place in San Francisco in the summer of 1974, and having breakfast in his building at "The Fatted Calf." He was a very nice man.
