Poker night

May 14, 2012 By // by mco

What I remember most about Bob was that he would always volunteer to open up his home for poker night as an entertainment event for the Sheppard Mullin summer associates. It was always one of the biggest hits of the summer – and Bob was right at the center with a big smile and an infectious enthusiasm, no matter how quickly he was losing his chips. I’m grateful for those times and the other interactions I had with Bob during my five years at Sheppard Mullin.

For those who are interested, and as an expression of sympathy, memorial contributions in Bob’s name may be made to Children of the Night. Children of the Night is a privately funded non-profit organization established in 1979 and dedicated to rescuing America's children from the ravages of prostitution. This is a charity that was near and dear to Bob. He gave countless hours of pro-bono legal assistance to the organization. Those who would like to make a donation in memory of Bob may do so by writing a check to Children of the Night and mailing it to Children of the Night, 14530 Sylvan Street, Van Nuys, California 91411 or by making it directly on the website childrenofthenight.org It is important that they note this gift is in memory of Bob Gerber.
