Oh I am so sorry to hear this news! I remember December 2010 I had been dx by Optometrist and his comment was if you wake up blind one day call me. I went home and googled Fuch’s. I came across Bob’s name so in the am I called him. He was able to calm me down and suggested I see an Ophthalmologist in CA where I lived at that time. Then I got to meet Bob and a number of people in this group in San Diego at a meeting you had in 2015 I think.
Bob did no many wonderful things with and for our group. May you rest in Peace, Bob. We will all miss you and your guidance. I am sure many of the surgeons who got to know you will be sad but happy that you were able to do much for our eye disease.
Blessings to Monica and her family! Bob will be missed!
