At the end of 2010, our dear friend, mentor and colleague, Bob DeBaun, passed away. He will forever be in our hearts.

Bob was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma in 2002 and was able to manage the cancer for several years.  In early 2010 the cancer started to become more aggressive and he spent most of the year going through various treatments in the hope of not only finding the right approach for him, but for others battling this disease as well.

Bob touched the hearts and minds of everyone he met.  He would fill a room with positive energy the minute he walked in.  He was fond of quoting Foster McGaw, “We must give more than we get and leave more than we take” and he truly lived that every day of his life through his kindness, compassion and generosity.  His spirit will live on in each and every one of us who were blessed to know him.
