Bob was my faculty mentor when I was a master's student back in 2008. He was a wonderful man, and an excellent mentor for my research. I owe much of my love of research to the experience working with him. Thanks in large part to his great example and encouragement, I went on to become a professor of psychology, too, although I doubt I'll ever be quite as good as he. I'll remember Bob fondly - I'm lucky to have known him. 

Bob has been such an influential and integral part of my personal and professional development.  From being my advisor during undergrad to a friend and guiding light throughout grad school and as an early career psychologist. He was a man with a heart of gold and so much love for those around him. I am grateful to have known him and be able to learn from him. One of my favorite Bob-isms: “Love isn’t about starring at each other with googly eyes, it’s about sitting next to one another looking out in the same direction.” I will miss you terribly, friend. You and Lee are forever a part of my heart. 

Bob was a great mentor and friend to me for many years. He and Lee were wonderful people and are greatly missed. 

Long ago memories of good times at TEKE house in Boulder, CO. I regret not having gone out of my way to contact you and visit you in Colorado Springs over the past many years that I knew of your living there. Rest in peace, old friend and frater.
