Barbara and family: I've worked with Bob for 22 years at Rebsamen and now North Metro. Not clinically, but he would come down to my office and visit - my husband is a Baptist minister - we'd compare church stories, shared about our kids (we actually towed your youngest daughter's boat to shore at Heber one summer when they'd run out of gas! I can still see him laughing about that and shaking his head!) and finally grandbabies. He was a true gentleman and I loved and respected him. I know he is already lining up for heaven's choir! God bless and sustain you, In Christian love, Karen

Dear Barbara , Robert, Zoe, Beth and all your extended family
I was very saddened to read of Bob,s death. I worked with Bob for 20 years at Rebsamen and have many fond memories. After
I retired I would fill in for Doris Allen in his office, and feel that I got to know Mrs Duerson through our phone conversations.
I have kept Bob and your family in thought and prayer since learning of his illness,and will continue to do so during this difficult time. I'm sorry that I won't be able to be there today,but
don't hesitate to call if I can help in any way in the days to come
Love and Prayers to all, Dorothy Connelly

Barbara, kids, grandkids - he talked about you all the time. You were his passion. I spent alot of hours with Bob and there was no one that I was happier to see at two in the morning because I knew that we would be in good hands. He was a fabulous anesthetist and I will miss him - even the grumbling.

I had the privilege of working with Bob for over 10 years and I can truly say that a kinder, gentler human being I have never known. I know you will miss him terribly. My prayers are with you and your family. Thank God we have the assurance of seeing him again.

I didn't work directly with Bob. I work in the pharmacy, so had a lot of contact with him over the 13 years I've been there. He was always the kindest man. I will miss seeing his smiling face at the hospital. Your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

I worked with Bob for probably 17 years in our OB unit at Rebsamen, now North Metro. He never complained when we called him multiple times in a night with," Bob, we have a girl that needs an epidural, or we have a girl that needs a C section." He was always calm, efficient, and caring. He was such a gentleman and you always knew Bob was a Christian both by his conversations and his actions. We will surely miss him. My prayers and thoughts are with his family, which he loved beyond words.

Dear Barbara and Kids,
Bob was one one the most wonderful human beings I've ever had the privilege to know...a gentle man and a gentleman. Over the past 20 years it amazes me that he would ALWAYS wake from a sound sleep with a kind word and a willing spirit to come in for surgery. He was the epitome of a family man. The video memorial was absolutely beautiful. I'm keeping all of you in my prayers.

Barbara and family, I am at a loss for the words to express my sympathy for you. Bob was Bob what can I say. He and I spent many nights on call in the OR and he never once treated us anyway but as a gentleman. He was always fair treated us as an equal. I never minded taking call when he was there. I will forever see him in a neat ironed shirt and jeans or his OR hat. I was truly blessed to have known Bob. Heres to Bob a true gentleman, loving husband father and friend. Heaven is much sweeter now that he is there.
