I can't believe it has been 4 yrs that you've been gone...you were so instrumental in my life when I was in my late teens/early 20's...the Saturday night trips to Milwaukee for "Rocky Horror" and introducing me to our "community". As rocky of a time as it was, I don't know how I would have navigated it without you....thank you for that. We all miss you so much....love your very first niece, Kimberly

This is from a posting to the MKP (ManKind Project), a group Rob belonged to the last year of his life. We are in the process of crafting a ritual/ceremony to mourn his passing and celebrate his life. Feel free to contact me at gliddenpeter@yahoo.com for details: Dear Men, I am sad to report the passing of our brother, Robert Ward, also known as Snow Leopard. He was a good soul, a kind man with a witty and incisive sense of humor and language. I esteemed him greatly. He died at 51 years old, of a heart attack, in his home. He was found in an armchair with a book in his lap. This image consoles me, and I offer it to you in that spirit. We spent the last year together in an I-group called "The Out-and-About-I-group." He showed great gentleness, strength, and wisdom throughout.

Rob was many thing's to many poeple, Friend, Confidant, Teacher, Coach, Counselor, Cheer Leader, Entertainer, Uncle, Brother, Brother-in-Law, among other things. I along with my now 5 other siblings, have the honor of calling him . . . Brother. He was always my "Go to Guy" when we had family coming in from out of town, as the one person who could make time in his schedule to go and pick them up at the airport, usually Cousin Liz. Below is an e-mail I sent to his account shortly after I got the news of his passing, I tried to leave a voice mail message but that was overfilled and would accept no more. We your family will miss you a lot Bro. We all love you and will miss you tremendously, you were part of the glue that kept this family together. here is to hoping the great beyond brings untold rewards to you that you did not get in this life, you are without a doubt, a very deserving soul. Please give Mom and Dad our best, as I know you are with them now. Love always, your little brother Randy

We are thankful and blessed to have Rob in our lives. Rob is worthy of each and every praiseworthy human adjective, but several are special and merit specific mention. He made an enduring contribution because he is remarkably insightful, intelligent, and quick-witted. Rob's steadfast adherence to a strict ethical code, in addition to exemplifying courage, generosity, honor, and integrity created a rare and noble man. We can not express the depth of our heartfelt gratitude for the gift of his love and friendship. Xxox, Fel & Georg

Rob's death has not been easy to grasp. We simply did not see it coming, thinking him to be springing back strong from a rough patch. His sudden loss of this bright, funny, caring man was a brick wall shock. His memorial yesterday helped greatly. His young nephew's plaintive tribute song was beautifully ornamented with the guitar skills which Rob had taught him. Diverse young women and men spoke from nurtured self-confidence about the critical importance of Rob's gentle, supportive attention and healing, subversive humor at their vulnerable life junctures. His young lesbigaytrans support group graduates recalled private jokes over coffee and the cradling comraderie he wove amongst his groups. Hearing the same theme in polyphony from young members of both Rob's family of blood and his family of spirit reassured me that Rob's loving legacy is alive, well and at play in the world. -Curt

Rob - Some of the things we will remember most ... the fun times in Tinley Park playing Taboo, the Gay Thanksgivings, your wit, humor and generosity. But, most of all, we will always be grateful to you for the friendship, guidance and values that you imparted to David so many years ago. You became his best friend and mentor in a way any mother would love. We will miss you - Carole and Vic

I'll never forget the frequent "Beatings" he gave me because apparently if he wouldn't have my blood flow would have stopped and I'd be doomed. He is the one who got me into watching Monk, and other detective shows, they were some of his favorites. We would sit on the couch and watch marathons together. Also during the thanksgiving season we would watch the 007 marathon on "Spike". He was probably my closest uncle which says a lot because I have about 10 of them. I will miss him dearly and so will many friends of mine that he has met and made laugh along the way.

I regret not being able to keep up with Rob and the family in recent years. I will always remember his smile when he saw his neices and nephews, my children. He did always have time for them and help and encourage them in their love of music in their critical early years. I always considered Rob a wonderful Uncle to my children Jim, Bonnie, and Teresa and Jeremiah. Yes Rob say hi to Grandma Nonie, and Rob....... Butterflies are Free so spread your wings and soar with Nonie.
from: Bonnie Lubeck
I will always remember when every time Uncle Rob would see me he would chase me down and pick me up by my ankles and bop my head on the floor!! I would laugh until my sides hurt. Uncle Rob was my Godfather and I will miss him dearly.
from: Teresa Boris
I remember Uncle Rob always taking the time out for us when we were kids, singing us songs, playing his guitar, he was never without a smile on his face.When it seemed like no one had time to listen he was always there.I love you Uncle Rob and I know you're in a better place now. Say hi to Grandma Nonie!
from: Gayle Weiss
I will always remember Rob with great affection...potlucks, picnics, OPALGA,our annual Glog-n-Nog, Pride Events, dinner parties with good friends....for the 20 years I knew him, Rob was the emobodiment of the adage, "if you have nothing good to say, say nothing." He was one of the kindest and most generous men I knew.
from: David Schaefer
I met Rob when I was 19 - and that was a stroke of amazing good fortune. Rob kept me out of trouble (mostly) during my 20s, and remained one of my closest friends and a constant for the rest of my life. I will miss you enormously Rob.
from: Steven McIntosh
I always looked forward to seeing Rob at parites and gatherings... he has always been the one to be more forthright (but with a smile). Always knowledgable, and offered to help anyone, anytime. Truly someone that I was blessed to know.
