Bob was one of the people who was really a friend during the tough emotional times of Junior High School. He made me laugh so many times, he just didn't let things get to him. I am shocked and saddened that he has passed, and so recently. Does anyone know what happened to Bob?

My understanding is Bob passed due to complications associated with a surgery. Others knew him far better than I. I knew him through sports, mostly, ih the early days. "Mini," as he was called during his early years, was smart, funny, intense, very engaging. He developed strong bonds with his closest friends. He became a very successful tax lawyer/consultant. My understadning is he spent a lot of time in Colorado. He's missed.

Thanks John. I remember in eigth grade he hit my math book with his track spikes. The shoe got stuck in the book and Miss Bender was on her way over. Got it out in time, but she was pretty cool. Still in love with Freehan of the Tigers.......

Rob was a brilliant lawyer who moved on from a partnership with one of Washington's premier law firms for a more balanced life in Colorado. There he had a successful law career and raised a family with his wife Lisa and two children Molly and Noah. Rob was passionate and fiercely loyal as a friend. He competed in the Colorado Open, an amateur golf tournament attracting the best golfers in the state winning several matches along the way. I'm fortunate to have known him and call him a friend.

Robert, Rob, "Minnie" Mintz was a close friend starting in kindergarten at Radnor Elementary, through Pyle and then into Whitman. He played Boys Club Football with Coach Miller and went on to play at Whitman. He was very bright and loved hiking and skiing the outdoors...and who remembers "Russo" his big white dog? He was a top-notch tax attorney and moved to Denver. He married Lisa and they had a daughter (Molly) and son (Noah). Rob left this world a better place, but much too early.

So sad to hear of his passing, hoped to see him at the reunion. Bob was a true mench and will be sorely missed. He was always gracious and friendly to all in High School and beyond.
