On January 31 we celebrate Bob Kafka for many reasons. We remember the Bronx kid whose strong family roots were the foundation of his lifelong sense of fairness and justice. We recall his service as a Vietnam vet. From his days at the University of Houston we relish the deep and enduring friendships that have grown richer over the decades and distance. We rejoice in Bob’s nearly 40-year marriage to Stephanie Thomas – his beloved and unflagging partner, in, well, everything.

We marvel at the chemistry that- using these experiences and more- made Bob Kafka, an incomparable warrior for people with disabilities and their rightful places in our communities. Thousands of people worldwide celebrate Bob as a friend, mentor, encourager, teacher, problem-solver, policy wonk, organizer, clever civil disobedience leader, big picture guy, and truth-to-power advocate.
