From Sarah Cook - Florence, Italy

With great sadness and sympathies to his closest family and loved ones, I share my memories of Bob. He was a friend, a colleague and an inspiration. He brought astounding energy, enthusiasm and passion for the causes for which he fought so hard - social justice through public and collective action. Above all, I remember the smile and sparkle as he shared his ideas and convinced others of his causes. So many have gained from his life and work. In a world where the deficits in global social governance are greater than ever, his contributions must be built on and his legacy live on. Sarah Cook Director, Innocenti Research Centre, UNICEF
