Condolence: Bob was a very special person. He greeted everyone with a smile and was so personable. I knew him at Andrews McMeel Universal and know he will be missed by us all. Peace be with you.

Condolence: Chris,

After working with Bob for 5 years, I have so many memories! His quick wit made me laugh daily. But, he also did silly things with me like look through People magazine and pick out his favorite Oscar dress with me! Recently, we watched a live cam with grizzly bears catching food. We often talked about our love for animals. He always knew how to make people comfortable, even in uncomfortable situations. He was definitely one of a kind. He will be missed. I am so sorry.

Condolence: Bob had such a warm personality and was so friendly. We would talk about golf a lot. He even invited my husband to play with him sometime and they had never met. That was the kind of guy Bob was. So kind and welcoming. Chris- I am so sorry for your loss. He was one of a kind. My thoughts and prayers are with you. The office isn't the same without him.

Condolence: Bob was such a special part of the AMU family. I only knew Bob for a short time, but our paths usually crossed every morning getting coffee. I'll sure miss bantering with him about Mizzou and sharing a story or two. His loss is deeply felt across our company. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Condolence: Chris,
I have no words to express how sorry I am to learn of Bob's untimely passing. I will miss his great sense of humor and story sharing and of course all the laughs we shared on HOGS golf trips or watching games together at the Twin. My prayers are with you through this very difficult time.

Condolence: Chris, I have met you just a couple of times over the years. Bob will be sorely missed at the office; his sense of humor and humanity will live on in our memories of him. My thoughts have been with you over the past few days and will continue as you travel this unexpected path. Best, Lisa Tarry

Condolence: Bob welcomed me warmly when I came to work at Andrews McMeel Universal. He knew that I had also worked at Hallmark and we had some enjoyable conversations reminiscing about people we both knew and the good old days there. He always greeted me with a smile and friendly conversation. Once, at a company social event, he invited me to play ping-pong. I wasn't too keen, being a newbie and seeing an audience. I had no idea he was quite the ace, but he was patient and encouraging and it was fun, even though I was terrible. I wish I had joined the informal group lunch that he appeared to host more often. It is a gift to be able to make people feel at ease, to make them smile and laugh, open up to talk and share. Bob had those gifts and he will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with Chris and all who loved him.
