From Gabe & Jerilyn Caprio: Sincere condolences to Bob's family. Haven't seen Bob for over 30 years but remember him well. Great person, highly talented and will be well remembered.

From Victor Canas: I was deeply saddened to learn about Bob’s death. We knew each other since high school and worked together at Chase during my stay in Peru. I always admired him for his professionalism and frankness. My condolences to his wife, Lalio, and his family. Goodbye my friend.

From Harry Tether: I am shocked and saddened to hear of the passing of Bob. I worked closely with Bob, first in Mexico and then in Chile and Argentina. He was dedicated to Chase and Latin America. While at Chase he played an active role with the various country AmChams, including AACLA, the American Chambers of Commerce for Latin America, which helped to raise the profile of Chase with our clients. I last saw Bob coincidentally in Chile a few years ago where he was working for Sanchez DeVanny and promoting high end tourism to Chile. We shared many happy and successful times together and I treasure those memories. My sincere condolences to Lalio and his family.

From Alan T. Gregory (June 2024): I just learned of Bob's passing and I am deeply saddened by this. He was a terrific family man and businessman. He had a very positive impact on my life and I am blessed that I knew and worked with him. Although I haven't seen Bob and his wife and children for probably 12 years when they visited me at my home in Maine. It seems like that was yesterday. I have very fond memories of the visit. He is missed by many.

From Per Kurowski: I am saddened to now know of the death of Robert W. Chandler. In 1974 at Banco Mercantil Agrícola in Caracas, Venezuela, he was my first boss after graduating as an MBA. A month after he hired me, he recommended me to the Venezuela’s Investment Fund being formed. I was their first diversification manager. I lasted there only two weeks, but that’s another story. At the end of my career, I had a two-year stint at the World Bank as an Executive Director.
