So sorry you are gone, and did not know you well, but  you were part of class of 1961, so we will miss you.

There are currently no tributes.

So sorry to learn of your death now in 2014. You were a very congenial person, laughing easily and so remembered for being easy going. We hope your life was a happy one, and know you will be missed by your classmates.

I do remember Bill having a great sense of humor and being an active part in any classes.  Will miss him.

Take a look at my post under Mark Josefson's memorial for a true story about an episode that I am reasonably sure Bob was part of.

A great person ,who i looked up to. we had many great times in track and high school i think of him often. tryg

My family knew Bob from his work while in school and my Mother called when he passed away.  I remember thinking how young he was and Lupus was something we were not very familiar with at that time.  Since that, I have been tested for it myself and thankfully, have not been diagnosed with it, but he had a delightful personality and was so enjoyable to be in classes with or visit with out of the school.  A real loss...

Bob got his B.A. from the University of Minnesota College of Liberal Arts "on time" in 1965.  He then enrolled in a Masters in Teaching program at Harvard University, where he obtained his M.A.T.  He became a history teacher in a public school in Massachusetts and married.  He was enthusiastic about Massachusetts politics and the potential of the new generationi to reform American Society. 

Bob noticed the symptoms of Lupus as early as his sophomore year of high school.  It is a progressive disease and its grip on Bob tighened after college.  It finally claimed him in 1970.  Several of us from the class of '61 attended his funeral and toasted his memory from, of all places, the back room of the Bullpen on Main Street!  Bob was a first class guy, a friend to everyone he met and he left us far too soon!
