Bob’s passing is indeed a great loss to not only all those of us who knew and loved him, but to the literally thousands of patients with Fuchs Corneal Dystrophy who benefited from his founding of the Corneal Dystrophy Foundation and the shared knowledge he brought to everyone through the Fuchs’ Friends online community.
During the 20+ years that I knew Bob, he always was a bright spot of enthusiasm and optimism, whether it be by email, telephone or in person. Bob Bellizzi was a manifestation of the truth that one person can truly change the world. What a wonderful life he had and what a contribution to the world he made.
Bob and I shared many smiles over the years, and I will miss him dearly. My deepest condolences to you and your family.
