Dear Aurora…
It’s taken me a couple days to get my thoughts together around this. Robert was an amazing mentor and like many others have said, he helped me see something in myself that I never would have on my own. He shared not only business knowledge, but life knowledge that has been invaluable to me.  He gave me opportunities that I never would have otherwise had.  I’m still not sure what he saw 22 years ago, but he was so open in teaching and caring to us younger business people that needed a mentor like him. My only regret is not having kept up my relationship with you and him due to… Well, life. It was always special to hear his voice in the other end of the phone, and I cherish the time that I spent with both you and him in Colorado.

You both are amazing souls and beyond welcoming hosts. And two of the most intelligent and open and caring and sharing people I have ever met. I will always treasure the time we spent together and not just the knowledge that I gained but the friendship that was behind it.  You are both in my daily prayers and I will miss the idea that I will not hear that, “Hey, CQ!” on the other end of the phone.

Please take good care of yourself.  With love,
Christina Quarnstrom

Aurora, 

My heart goes out to you at this time. Over the past 24 years I have had the opportunity to work with Robert but it was much more than that. Robert saw something in me that I didn’t see in myself. He gave me the opportunity to do and see things that I would have never been able to do on my own. He had such a  great soul. On many occasions I saw how he connected with people including my kids.  He had a way of connecting with people on a very deep level. It was amazing to watch. I will always cherish those moments. I am thankful for all the moments and for you Aurora. For sharing Robert over all the years on business adventures as well as our hiking adventures. He touched so many people’s lives! I will miss him. 

Robert introduced my family to chick-fil-a! We spent some time together there with the kids and he told me about some of life traveling and teaching. I found him truly fascinating. He was so kind and always working hard in the yard and enjoyed hiking. We will miss seeing him across the street. He always motivated me to shovel my snow earlier rather than later. 

Dear Aurora, Robert was my dear brother and buddy since we were little children. He became such an incredible man over the years loving the outdoors and his mind and soul became so wise, kind generous and inspiring to us and around the world. Robert was born with great potential and he exceeded even that. I will remember his caring optimistic logical perspective . I pray he knew how much he meant to us. I will honor his memory of a life well lived. Thank you dear Robert for your love and I will live with you in my heart until we meet again. Robert recently told me you Aurora, were the best that ever happened to him.❤️ I have and will continue to love you Robert and your Godly soul.

Dear Aurora

So very sorry to hear of the passing of Robert; my sincere condolences. 

I feel very lucky to have met Robert over a decade ago on the OSLP. I know he valued very much the OSLP family and the connections with Oxford. Since we struck up conversation on the short bus ride to Oxford we have kept in contact over all of these years. 

I have valued all of our conversations - a time to debate, challenge ideas, and wrestle with the things most bothering us. But more than this, I will miss the friendship and spirit of wise counsel that emerged through each of these meetings. 

All my love and best wishes, Angela (Adams)

I've know Robert for a very long time - thru our shared love of the rose.  He was smart and funny.  A joy to be around and chat with.  He will be greatly missed thru out Colorado and the world.

Aurora - know that he will always be in our hearts and souls.  We grieve with you.  Please let us know if there is anything we can do.

Robert was a friend, mentor and business partner who believed in me long before I believed in myself. Nicola and I will miss his wisdom, his intellect and his joy.
May his memory be a blessing.
