Dear Evan and other family and friends of Robert Mulch: Please accept my most heartfelt condolences. Bob was a truly exceptional man. He was genuinely interesting, inquisitive, kind, engaging and considerate. He cared about people, enough to want to stay in touch. He was a great listener. What a gift in this world of generally temporary and transient acquaintances. I have fond memories as a child of visiting Bob. I remember my mom refusing to let him hypnotize me! That was OK because the yarns he shared with us kids were just as mesmerizing. I remember visiting him in Kansas and his passion for small towns, for family and for the common man. Evan, you and your siblings were the apple of his eye. Not a single phone call, Christmas letter or visit went by without Bob gushing about his beloved family. You may not have heard of me but I know about every move, marriage, part time job and entrepreneurial exploit his children ever embarked upon. He loved you guys. At times like this itâs hard to know what to say. There is one thing of which I am certain and I pray that it will be of some consolation at this time, and that is that this separation is but a temporary one. Like you the thought of Bob dancing with his beloved Glenda makes me smile. Thank you for sharing your Dad with our family all of these years. Trevor, Becky, Timothy, Jonathan, Hannah & Rachel Stansbury
