Special Place in our Hearts

May 15, 2012 By // by mco

Bob introduced me to pro bono work while I was an associate at Sheppard Mullin, and then (at an annual gala for one such pro bono client – PCI) proceeded to introduce me to the man who would become my husband. He steered me in the right direction and always showed his support as a friend and colleague. Chris and I will always remember Bob fondly, and he will forever hold a special place in our hearts as the one who brought us together and cheered us on.

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.
