Robert was the man who brought me to Phoenix, New York as his Assistant Superintendent in 1983. He, his family, and mine became very close over the years, and his strength, knowledge, persistence, and goodness were qualities I admired most in his presence. Loved his family...Maureen, Jeff, and Kristin were fun to be around, and made me feel at home from the moment we met them. We went through a lot together during his 13 years in Phoenix as their Superintendent, and was instrumental in preparing me to advance my career when I took over from him in 1993-2004 as His successor. Ann , Meredith, and I are very sad to lose him. He was one of a kind and I loved him as a brother I never had. That kind of says it all....
