Bob was one of those rare individuals who was always gracious, kind and a friend. It didn't matter if you saw him everyday or only a few times a year. We have all lost a truly good person. Condolences to his family. Regards, Annette

To the Family, thank you for sharing Bob with us.  It was always a pleasure to have him appear before me in court and to exchange greetings or comments as he effectively represented his clients and displayed the highest professional standards.  You are in my prayers.

So sorry to hear about this loss. My heart goes out to you guys.

Bob was a true Prince of this world, of this reality, defender of the less fortunate, patriot and volunteer when it wasn't cool to volunteer, a good friend to so many of us. His passing leaves a void in our lives that will never be filled. I shall miss him for the rest of my life.

Dear Pat and  Family-
I was so sorry to hear about Bob' s illness, and now his all too soon passing.
Bob was literally my first friend in law school.  I remember like it was yesterday, and how happy he was when you reconnected and began your long life together.
He was almost always cheerful, and his curiosity and diligence is something we all can admire.  He will be dearly missed by so many.

I'd like to extend my condolences to Bob's family. Bob was an exceptional attorney : he was always prepared, extremely knowledgeable about the law and a pleasure to have in the Courtroom. He will be very much missed in Upper Marlboro. Maureen Lamasney

Pat and family - My deepest condolences for your loss.  I knew Bob as far back as I can remember. We served in Vietnam as the same time and kept in touch while there.  His letters were a comfort to me as I hope mine were to him.  Bob was a wonderful guy, I feel honored and blessed to have known him.
