Bob was one of the most generous friends I knew. He was always thinking of others. On more occasions than I can count, he made and gave me photos, digitized tapes and basically helped with anything in his realm of expertise, which was vast. Bob was a true example to others. He never stopped learning. I was so fortunate to have known Bob and I will never forget him. William Blair Scott, Jr., Hon. AIA, Architectural Historian, Past President - Jazz Arts Foundation
