Robert,
I met you at the American Church in Warsaw, Poland. All these years have gone by. You became a part of our family. You were a great man, father in law, and military officer. As a fellow veteran I salute you. Godspeed Robert.

Thessalonians 4

I was a classmate of Bob’s at Sidwell Friends, Class of 55. He was a smart, good looking
hard working member of the class with many friends. Since I moved to California
after high school and college, I never met his wife or kept in touch. But many
others in the class did and can probably tell lots of good stories about Bob
in those early years. Dale Rogers Marshall ‘1955 Sidwell Friends
Dear Joanna and family,
Bob and I were close friends since we were 15 years old. He was brilliant, funny, and kind. You could not have a more loyal friend. Our memories go back to 1952. I know he cared deeply about all of you. You enriched his life and he was grateful to be a part of your family. My heart is with you. I will carry his memory with me always.

Bob and I were friends for many years. We met each other at Sidwell Friends in Washington as teenagers.. As the years went on we rarely saw each other. But I will always value him and the memories of his fine mind and wit. I send my condolences to his wife Joanna whom I had the pleasure of meeting at a Sidwell reunion. May she find peace in knowing how much she clearly brought to Bob’s life. With deep respect, Susan
Jolu!
Odczuwamy wraz z Tobą wielki żal i smutek po odejściu Roberta. Jesteśmy z Tobą razem w tych chwilach.
Poznaliśmy Roberta w latach dziewięćdziesiątych w Warszawie. Elegancki, starszy Pan z optymistycznym humorem, zrobił doskonałe wrażenie. Mieliśmy to szczęście gościć Go u nas w Wieluniu, to byly dobre chwile. Wspominam bardzo mile tą podróż TIRem z Warszawy, gdy Robert chciał wszystkiego posmakować z życia trakerów.
I ostatni obrazek zapadający na zawsze w pamięci. Na zakończenie ostatniej naszej rozmowy Robert pięknie zasalutował i odszedł. Wtedy nie wiedzieliśmy, że przechodzi na wieczną wartę…
Z szacunkiem
Darek i Wiesia
