[Oe List ...] [Dialogue] Bob Rafos

[Elsa Batica]

Dear Sandy and family,
I am so sad to hear of Bob’s passing. So many memories of encounters with him. 
I am so glad we reconnected with you both when Bob and I served on the ICA-USA board of directors. 
Sending you our love and prayers. His memories will live on. May he Rest In Peace. 

Elsa and Addi Batica

Bob as head of Management Centrum showed remarkable skill in keeping things running smoothly. It earned him the nickname "Nails." In addition to his practical expertise, he was also a real theologian. ..I just found a letter to him written in 1985 responding to one from him that resembled the writings of St. Augustine. As many have said, he was a spirit giant, and when he sat at the head of the table in the Lumumba Room at the 10PM meetings in Greenrise, he provided a presence of practical confidence amidst the chaos.

Some of our most meaningful conversations took place in the “communal” bathroom at GreenRise with shaving cream on our faces. Deepest sympathY to Sandy and the family.
