Bob was a remarkable individual. From the first time I met him, I was struck by his humility and sense of humor, but that easy graciousness and kindness belied a resolve and ambition that was uncommon. Bob leveraged his background in tech to create an online community that became a beacon of information, support, and hope for so many. As the needs of the community grew, you and Bob added more elements — an annual patient meetup, then a nonprofit foundation, then a scientific meeting. What had started as a small “side project” grew to become a living and ever-growing multifaceted charitable and educational enterprise, enabled by the energy, vision, and kindness of the two of you — a talented super duo who did not know the meaning of the word “retirement.”
