Robert Ungerleider Obituary

I will miss Uncle Bob so much. It's funny how there are things we don't think about until after a person is gone. I didn't know Uncle Bob's middle name was Norman...but I did know he loved us. Seeing pictures of him at work don't match the pictures I have in my mind of him visiting his nieces and nephews in Washington state. I realize there is so much more to who Uncle Bob was that I'll never know. I guess that is the case with many people we know and love. I will always remember the hug he gave me the last time I saw him. It was difficult for him to speak yet I could still hear him clearly as he said he loved us and that he realized that this was the last time he would be able to give me a hug...he didn't let go for a long time. So, in memory of Uncle Bob, go and hug everyone you love...for a really long time.

I want to express my thoughts and love to the Ungerleider family, The warm and friendly person Bob was reflected through his whole family, our family always felt very fond of Bob and always enjoyed the time we have spent with Bob and his family. My grandfather Ray, Bob 's father in law, through the years had always spoken very highly of Bob. This poem Ray always liked. It made me think of Bob's personality, of helping and caring for others.
"The Bridge Builder" An old man, going a lone highway, Came at the evening, cold and gray, To a chasm, vast and deep and wide, Through a chasm flowing a sullen tide, The old man crossed in the twilight dim, That sullen stream had no fears for him; But he turned, when he reached the other side, And built a bridge to the side.
"Old man," said a pilgrim near, "You are wasting strength in the building here, Your journey will end with the ending day; You never again must pass this way. You have crossed the chasm, deep and wide, Why build you the bridge at the eventide?"
The builder lifted his old gray head
"Good Friend, in the path I have come," he said, "There followed on after me today, A youth whose feet must pass this way. This chasm that has been naught to me. To that faired-haired youth may a pitfall be. He, too, must cross in the twilight dim; Good friend, I am building the bridge for him".
With Love, from your family on the west coast. John Miller and family

On behalf of the Lawyers' Committee for Better Housing, where Bob served as a Board member for a number of years, our sympathy to his family, which always came first in Bob's priorities. He made significant contributions to our agency and was appreciated for his gentle manner, incredible knowledge of affordable housing, and willingness to assist in a variety of ways. We were fortunate to have his involvement.

Bob was a wonderful, caring, dedicated colleague in the affordable housing world. I was privileged to work with him on the board of the ABA Forum on Affordable Housing. He was a leader and a mentor to many. We will miss him, but we will remember him when we gather in Washington this May. Thoughts and wishes to you from many friends of Bob around the country.

I treasure my years of friendship with the Ungerleider family, and will miss Bob very much.
I wanted to be with you now, but was traveling. My thoughts and prayers are with you constantly. I will see you at the end of April. Love, Joanne
