Given Bob's eternal optimistic spirit and his energy, we all find it so tough to think of his no longer being there to encourage, chide, provoke, and comfort us with his willing involvement in central debates of our field.

He was a dear friend to me from my first days at Stanford and across the years after he left Stanford for Riverside.  His perspectives and model for moving on to new ideas and methods over the years will, I trust, find their way into our interactions with students for some time to come.

This is so so sad.  As David shared, Bob was a brilliant scholar and one of the most generous and supportive senior colleagues in the profession.  He will be missed.  I will miss his friendship and counsel.  Kris

I received this note from Suzanne Barchers, the wife of Bob Calfee, late last night.

"Bob died at 8:00 Friday evening. He was peaceful, letting go quietly, while my son Jeff and I held his hands.

Thank you for all the wonderful messages and stories. He listened to all of them, squeezing my hand often. Like so many of you, I'll be saying, "Hmm...what would Bob say?" for many years to come.
Suzanne”

This was a great personal loss for me because in addition to being a great scholar, he was a mentor to me in the early years of my career and a great friend and colleague on any number of ventures.  But it is also a loss for the field and for the scores of doctoral students he mentored at Stanford and also UC Riverside after his retirement from Stanford.

There is a caring bridge site for Bob.
