Description	I'm writing as a representative of the library, but also as somebody who got to know Bob personally over the last few years. Bob joined Fortnightly in 2023, right as we moved the program to the library. He gave presentations on politics, religion, and philosophy, and our most recent presentation was Bob's—I know I'm so glad I got a chance to know him a bit better before he passed. Bob was a regular at library programs. I fondly remember Bob teaching my teenagers to play Dixit a few summers ago, and how he would sing his clues for them, which they loved. My teens still talk about that. Bob and I had many great conversations in the time that I've known him. I will miss his reliable "reasonably well" when asking how he's doing, or talking about books with him. He was a great addition to our scholarly community and I know his contribution, knowledge, and experience will be missed by all of us. All of the staff at the library were so sad to hear of Bob's passing. He was a great patron and made so many of us smile with his quick wit. We will miss having him in programs and in the reading room.
