I was very glad to be a part of today’s ceremony and celebration; but more importantly to have known and had the opportunity to work with Bob. Bob and I worked together at Mitsubishi Consumer Electronics in Santa Ana. I quickly learned that Bob was an intelligent, experienced, and thoughtful manager. Even though he worked hard and managed significant responsibilities, he always had time to talk and brag about his kids. The three of you really were at the center of his universe and I was glad to hear how much each of you respected and loved your father.
My best to all of you as to move ahead without this great man in your presence. He will be sorely missed, but never forgotten.

Dear Colleen, Jon, Jennifer, Charlie and all the family.
We are so sorry to hear of Bob’s passing and our thoughts and prayers are with you at this very sad time.
My first meeting with my dear friend Bob, as a work colleague with Racal in 1998, turned into an enduring family friendship that will be treasured always.
Our business trips together included Paris, Amsterdam, Normandy, Toulouse and Dorset, England. Always great fun – always hilarious. One time in Paris, we both decided to try out our limited command of French. It ended with us being chased down the street by the irate taxi driver. To this day we had no idea what we said, but it put an end to any further attempts.
We will miss our dear friend terribly. Rest in Peace me old mate.
Robert and Margaret Ann Wilson and family.
