Bob Bellizzi and Dorothy Acton were Godsends when I was diagnosed with Fuchs in the early 2000s and a full corneal transplant was the standard of care.
What a difference Bob made! He was a force of nature, and it is because of him and his legacy, the CDF, that we have so many more options and outstanding surgeons.  We have come from being told that we will go blind if we have Fuchs’ Dystrophy to DSEKs, DMEKs and DSOs.  I worked a couple of conferences with Bob and had many conversations with him when I was facilitating the NoVa/DC/Maryland Local Group.  I would like to say to Monica and the family on behalf of all of us, that Bob will be truly missed, and his legacy and leadership will live on.  Well done, Bob!
