Robert was a pioneer who developed his talents to benefit all those around him. The largest medal of many of his distinguished personal accomplishments, was his genuine heart and sincere smile.

Your footsteps will be forever remembered.

Sincerely,

Andy Vallejo

A nice man. Bob had the ability to make me smile with his smile. Some of us running people use walkers some of the time. He treated us with respect. He seemed genuine and nice to everyone, including one special little lady that I've known and at least one of their little doggies that I got to play with a lot and that I got amusement seeing snug behind Bob's desk at work. The doggie bed against the wall fit. We all fit, whether we had just finished running or simply had a love of running. He was always welcoming and I liked his accent. Blessings to everyone that knows him. Run on.
