We worked together 7 years in Chicago, first on the west side and then in what is now Greenrise. 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. <div><br clear="none"></div><div>Condolences to Sandy, the family, and to all of us who had the privilege of knowing Bob. </div><div><br clear="none"></div><div>John Epps</div></div><div><br clear="none"><div class="yiv5715903907elided-text">On Fri, Mar 9, 2018 at 10:20 AM, Randy Williams via OE <span dir="ltr"><<a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" ymailto="mailto:oe@lists.wedgeblade.net" target="_blank" href="mailto:oe@lists.wedgeblade.net">oe@lists.wedgeblade.net</a>></span> wrote:<br clear="none"><blockquote style="margin:0 0 0 0.8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">Bob Rafos was a spirit giant.

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.<br clear="none">
