    I am so sorry to hear of your loss as his family. I have always felt I was part of Bob's professional family. I served with him for many years on the ISRC Board of Director's and Program Committee. Bob was always there for me with wise counsel and a listening ear. He taught me a lot about serving a professional organization. He will truly be missed!

    Charlie and Kennie and families. From the mountains of Honduras I send my deepest "pesame" as we say here on the loss of your brother Bob. He loved you guys so much, often speaking of you. Mr Glass (as I called him) was a great friend and help to me these past several years: a mentor, a friend, a counsellor always with a sympathetic, but sensible advice. The loss is only temporary. Soon we shall join Bob in Heaven, where he already is rejoicing with your mother and sister. God bless and comfort you all.

    Dear Charlie, Kennie and the extended Glass family. Bob was a dear friend and treasured colleague for many years. He taught me so much of the respiratory field. We had several nice visits the past few years when he came to Bloomington. Our prayers and thoughts are with you all. I regret I did not learn of his passing until this morning or I would have attended the funeral. Regards, Jackie and Alex Goodman
