Bob was my first boss when I started working at P&G in 1973. I was fresh out of college and Bob was the best mentor/boss anyone could ever wish for. I’m now 68 and preparing to retire, and I can honestly still say that Bob was the best person I was ever privileged to work for. The last time I worked with Bob was around 1990 and he was suffering from some disease that made him need to rest during the day, but he was still one of the best people to work for/with in my entire career. A great engineer with a lot of common sense and a great human being. You’ll be in my thoughts always, Bob. Rest in Peace.
