It's been two years today since Rj passed, but his memory and friendship are still fresh in our mind and heart.

Our love and thoughts go to Rj, Sarah and Jackie..,

I was fortunate to get to know RJ through my work at UNLV. He was the brain child behind what eventually became an masters degree in analytics at UNLV. We held the first workshop when he was with Accenture and continued our friendship over the last 6 years discovering a love of hockey (go Knights)  and of course cooking.  While I don’t cook, RJ loved to tell me about his cooking adventures. I finally told him that if he cooked so often he needed to do it in a UNLV Hospitality College Chef jacket. 

RJ your influence on the analytics program will not be forgotten or your friendship.

My thoughts and prayers are with Rj’s family and friends.

I met Rj through a mutual friend Mike Ryan. At the time I was doing some consulting on offshore outsourcing and an opportunity to join his team came up and I jumped. I was always amazed at how calm and even tempered he was in the middle of some insane situations. 
Thank you Rj for all you did for me!

We are deeply saddened and shocked to hear of RJ's sudden passing and send our love and prayers of God's comfort and supernatural peace to his beautiful wife, Jackie,  and his lovely children , RJ and Sarah,  and the rest of the family.

I originally met Rj when he interviewed me for a job at EDS almost 24 years ago.  He was  a professional mentor through my business career, but even more, he became a close friend for most of those years.

Linda and I have been fortunate to become part of Rj's extended family and our love and mutual sorrow goes out to Jackie, Rj IV,  Sarah, and other family members.  

Rj touched many lives and will be remembered in so many ways..,

We are so heartbroken over the loss of RJ. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.  May all your adventures in heaven be grand....
