“Bob was brilliant. There was no disability policy issue I couldn’t ask him about. Part of that was that he read a lot, but part of it was he made it a point to get to know people, ask them questions, and listen to them,” said Lydia Nuñez Landry, a leader of REV UP Texas, who advocated alongside Bob.
No task was below Bob, and no win was too small. He recognized equal and necessary value in freeing one person from a nursing home and in working toward systemic change. He enjoyed meeting with legislators as much as he enjoyed organizing community parties all around Texas for Disability Voting Rights Week.
