David, we have not met, but I saw Bob last a couple years ago. We worked together in the infancy of Dorf/MJH and he taught me volumes that stood the test of time and adversity - even as I made a career change. His death hit me like a ton of bricks. He holds a special place in my heart as the most unique, encouraging boss I ever had.

Thank you, Ram! He was a truly wonderful guy. I was blessed to know him and honored to deliver a short eulogy at his funeral yesterday on Bob’s impact as a teacher and coach to folks around the world.

David, thanks for writing and sharing this. The “The Startup Owner’s Manual” was highly influential on me. I greatly enjoy and value the wisdom Bob shared with innovators and entrepreneurs.

I'm so glad you enjoyed it, Chad. It was a great pleasure to teach alongside Bob in my classes for Columbia, and to see the generosity with which he inspired and touched every student.
