I want to thank all of you who have been following Bob's Cancer Blog as he waged his courageous battle with cancer. It is with great sadness that I have to tell you that Bob died early Sunday morning with his wife Nancy at his side at Swedish Hospital in Seattle in peace with God and man. This blog and those who read it received equal parts of pure Bob wit and insights. While sending this blog across the street or across the nation, he touched all of us with colorful stories of his ordeal. He was a beautiful man who showed us all how to live.
As a memorial to Bob, a scholarship has been established in his name at the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry. Contributions to this scholarship will endow in perpetuity an award made to an undergraduate seeking a forestry degree. It is fitting to have Bob's name attached to helping young people who are following in his footsteps. In lieu of flowers or other gifts, the family requests that contributions be made to the ESF Foundation in the name of Bob Maimone. Checks should be mailed to: Mr. Robert Quinn, SUNY ESF, One Forestry Drive, 214 Bray Hall, Syracuse, NY, 13210.
