Bob was a high school classmate of my mother, Jerry Williamson, and a college classmate of my father, Duncan Waterman.  He and Louisa always made a point of visiting with my mother and stepfather, Tom Williamson, when in San Diego.  Bob and I sometimes played tennis together on his visits.  He was a wonderful person who lead a fascinating life and I am reading his recently penned brief memoirs now.  He will be much missed.

Bob was A.S.B. President at San Diego High School and Editor of the school newspaper(the Russ).  Graduating in 1946 with a scholarshio to Yale University and--on to an impressive career. May his friends and famlies  loss be comforted with loving memories of a special person and of a life well lived.

I am Bob's nephew and I always treasured his visits!  We shared the love of tennis and for many years when he visited he and I would go play, and the stories he would tell!  He has always been "bigger than life" in his exploits, travels, and accomplishments and he made the world a better place.  There is so much more to say...
He will be greatly missed...and my heart goes out to Louisa.

Bob was a wonderful and supportive leader of the National Building Museum. He brought the institution up to a professional level and encouraged the highest standards of scholarship.
My sympathy to Louisa and family.

One of the most generous and honorable persons for whom I ever worked. He taught me much and created numerous opportunities for all of us on the staff of the National Building Museum. His example has had a lasting impact on my professional life, and our time together endeared many fond memories.

I was a secretary on the Malaysia-Singapore Desk when Mr. Duemling was the Economics Officer. I told him how to spell "brouhaha" when he rushed out of his office one day to look up the word in the dictionary. I remember when he received a call that Jim Thompson, a well known company owner in Malaysia, was missing. The people from those countries who visited Mr. D. pronounced his name "Doom-A-Ling." My sympathies to Mr. Duemling's family.

Sincere sympathy.
A long time  member od MtCuba Docents.

May the LORD comfort you and bring peace to your hearts in this time of loss.
He is healing the brokenhearted ones, and is binding up their wounds.
Psalm 147:3

SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS.  I WAS HIS ROOM MATE ON 29TH STREET, 57-58.  HE WAS A GOOD MAN.  WOULD APPRECIATE INFO RE MEMORIAL  CLUTCH3906@GMAIL.COM

Many years ago Bob and I paddled a wilderness river in the Canadian Arctic together. He was amongst the finest bowmen ever, which he ascribed to his Navy traing. He was great company and a most considerate tent mate. I was very sorry to learn of his passing.
