<p>Bob Trigg</p><p>Bob has been my closest friend and my mentor since I first met him in 1959. On my first day of work at the New York Stock Exchange, Bob was assigned to introduce me to the Exchange's facilities, the staff of the Research Department, and to take me to lunch. Thirty-two years later he was at my NYSE retirement party. Over that entire period, we had lunch or diner at least once a week. We continued our weekly luncheons after we retired and up until my wife passed away when I began spending most of my time in Florida, South Carolina And Texas. Nevertheless, the telephone kept us in touch with each other, and I was able to continue to outperform the stock market due solely his incredible knowledge of, and unique insights into, the inter-workings of global financial markets, and corporate America. Never have I known anyone outside my own family who was a more loving and caring human being than Bob. He will never be replaced. My deepest sympathy to Bob's family, and especially to Laura, the love of his life, and to Bob and Matthew. He will always be in my prayers.</p>
