Hi Ira,
I missed this in the discussion. Bob Oberfield was a long time member of Mended Hearts. He served as a board member, regional director, and chapter president. I met Bob years ago when I was a new volunteer. He was always passionate about the organization, but more importantly, passionate about life! He and his wife Shirley were always so sweet. We talked a lot about the Pittsburgh sports (he was originally from Pittsburgh and that's where I live). He called me often for years and we talked about kids, grandkids, sports, and his humor was amazing! He loved our kids and he always had good advice to give.
He was a pharmacist in his professional life and always kept a great sense of humor.
I miss him so much.

Hi,
I'm a newbie to Mended Hearts (since June). Could someone tell me, and others like me who didn't know and hadn't heard of Bob Oberfield, a little bit of his history, the role he served with Mended Hearts and what made him great as a person and in connection with this organization?
Thanks,
Ira
