A dear friend and colleague, Bob Lansinger, passed away last week. He was a wonderful person with whom I quickly developed a great friendship when we started working together a little over 2 years ago.
I was his nominal “boss”. However, I received more counsel and advice from him than I gave. Bob was a master of asking good questions and using them as a gentle teaching tool.
I really can’t recall a time when he was critical of anyone. He may have thought something could have been done different but he never turned that into a negative comment about an individual.
