To the Family of Bob Near:
Sorry for your loss. I worked with Bob for 10 years at the EPA. I looked forward to talking to him every day. He was so proud of his family and told me many stories about all of you that I feel I know most of you even though I never met you.

To Bob's family: I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Bob was beloved by many at EPA. When I first came to work at Denver EPA, Bob was so kind and helpful. His wonderful sense of humor and smile always made me look forward to seeing him. He was a great mentor and friend to many folks here. We will miss him, and our thoughts go out to you in your loss.
