Donna and family, my deepest condolences. As a faculty colleague of Bob's at Merrimack College, I came to know and admire him as a gentle man of generous giving, deep faith, and impeccable integrity. For several years we met weekly with a group of other alumni to share our faith. Bob's insight and compassion touched me deeply. I am a better man for having walked part of my life's journey with him. May you be consoled by the knowledge of your faith that he now rests in the loving embrace of our Father in heaven.

in honor of Robert.

Robert Cuomo was "An Authentic Leader. Bob asked me to teach him economics when he was the dean of the School of Management at Dean College in Franklin, MA. We taught Economics together in two class sections sections when I was at Dean in 2015-2016.

After the Covid hit in 2019, I knew Bob had retired from Dean. I was looking for a co-author to write my third book on leadership. I was interested in writing about people's choices when they lead, and I wanted a truly authentic leader to co-write the book with me. I immediately thought of Bob, and I knew it was the right choice! He jumped at the opportunity and wrote three beautiful books together on leadership.

We loved writing together and opened an LLC called "The Authentic Leader." We met by Zoom two, if not three, times a week to discuss Zoom about mentoring those who wanted to build their leadership skills. It was indeed an honor to work with him!

In March 2023, we were invited to join The Dean Panel to discuss our books and Authentic Leadership. It was well received not only by Wentworth but by many neighboring colleges in the Back Bay area of Boston.

Bob's legacy will be continued for many generations to come.

I have known Bob for fifty years, originally when I was serving at St. Augustine Parish in Lawrence and his brother-in-law was murdered, then when I served at Merrimack College and in the years since then as he stayed in touch. In all situations Bob was always a person of upright character with high values, integrity, and morals, He had great faith and appreciation of the Church. Be assured of my prayers and remembrances.

Bob was a hero of mine! His example of selfless giving to anyone in need was exemplary. We met proudly serving our alma mater Merrimack College's Alumni together in the 90s and remained friends. He convinced me to become an adjunct professor of marketing at Dean College, where I witnessed him in action as Dean of Business again caring more than most and creatively helping more students than anyone could imagine. His genuine positivity and encouragement improved the lives of so many. He will never be forgotten at Merrimack or Dean. His inspirational example of unconditional love and kindness to all is his legacy. I feel blessed to have been his friend!
