I felt privileged to be a colleague of Bob Pearson (and an English teacher to two of his children) in the Millburn School District. He was an inspiration to us all - congenial, encouraging, supportive, positive, and approachable. I will always remember the twinkle in his eyes as he talked about Connie and the family; indeed Bob made everyone feel like his "Millburn Family." He seemed to have a perpetual smile on his face and love in this heart. On a personal note, being a non-jock, I was especially honored by his friendship and interest in my life. He knew I appreciated the sports world, and I knew he certainly had an affinity for the arts - as evidenced by his "encore career" at the Papermill Playhouse. I secretly considered him my "cool, athletic, affable" (unofficial) older brother.
Thanks for the lovely memories, Bob - Take a Bow, Star Educator and Human Being!
