Steven Voytovich, a friend and colleague of Bob, discovered the following essay:

Pastoral Care: It’s Function
People don’t need a long life,

As much as they need a compelling reason to live,

And a compelling reason to die.

For upon these two necessities

Is life for the human being

(in that great array of living things)

Sustained, enabled, and fulfilled.

Chaplain Robert W. Cholke
