Thinking of you on your birthday. Merry Christmas!

Dear Mr & Mrs Benkert,

I'm so saddened and shocked to hear about your loss. 

I worked with Rob briefly last year at Vermeer in New York.  He was a fine, young man; whip-smart and a pleasure to work with.  He was well-liked and respected throughout the office and will be missed. 

I very much hope that Rob has found peace and that God is providing you some comfort in your loss. 

Sincerely, 

Hugh McGilligan

Your family is in our prayers.
Tom McLaughlin  and Henri Heywood

Ron and Ann so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with your family. May your faith remain strong through this difficult time.

I worked with Rob at Georgetown's RHO.  I looked forward to the sometimes heated, and always humorous, political conversations we shared during our shifts.  The entire RHO family admired Rob's wit and intelligence, and above all his kind heart.  I am deeply saddened by his passing.  Rob and your family are in my thoughts.

I was saddened to hear the news of Rob's passing and my thoughts and prayers are with the entire Benkert family. I had the privilege of getting to know and working with Rob during his first few years in New York, and looked forward to our periodic catch ups since. Rob was truly one of a kind and I always looked forward to hearing about his next endeavor. He will be dearly missed.

Ron and Ann, we were very sorry to hear the sad news of Rob's passing.  Our prayers are with you and your family.  We're sorry we're not as close as we were in times past, but would love to hear from you if you are up our way in the future.

I am so sorry to hear of Rob's passing.  I was in Rob's graduating class at Georgetown; we both worked in New York for a time.  His wit (often self-deprecating) and keen intellect will be missed.  He is in my prayers, and my prayers go out to your family.

With prayers for you and your family, Ann, during this time of heartbreaking loss of Robert. Donata Glassmeyer, Cincinnati

I am very sorry for the loss of your family. I supervised Rob when he was an RA at Georgetown University and getting to work alongside him is still time I look back on fondly. He was a bright and caring person who made a positive impact on our team and me personally. Know that your family is my thoughts during this difficult time.

My heart is broken for Ann and the family on this great loss.Robbie was one of the best and brightess men I ever knew.  The world shines a little less bright tonight without his shining presence.
