Friends of Bob’ Describe His Influence, Impact

Several so-called “FoBs” or Friends of Bob, including several fellow IT Hall of Fame inductees, spoke in the CahnnelCon video about Stegner’s impact and influence on their careers and the IT industry.

“Bob has the ability to surround himself with successful, highly motivated people and his commitment to the reseller community for more than 30 years is a true testament to serving others,” said Steve Harper, retired from Network Management Group, a Hutchinson, Kans.-based solution provider, and a 2012 IT Hall of Fame inductee along with other founding members of Ingram Micro’s famed VentureTech Network. “His service to major corporations, reseller businesses, and individuals in the IT community has been greatly appreciated by all. He’s a good man, a great father, a mentor to many, and a true go-giver. Bob Stegner is a true people person. I remember one time when I had major surgery back in 1999, Bob came to the Mayo Clinic here in Phoenix and sat with my wife as I came out of surgery. I’ve never forgotten that true act of friendship and kindness.”

Stegner was well-known in solution provider communities for his commitment to SMBs, but also for his sense of humor—often taking the stage in costumes, each more garish or over-the-top than the previous one, a trait remembered by Jane Cage, semi-retired from Heartland Technology Solutions, a Joplin, Mo.-based solution provider and fellow VentureTech founder and IT Hall of Fame inductee,

“Congratulations on a career that stretched from coast to coast. And I have to say there’s never been anyone in all of my IT associations that’s worn a toga any better than you have,” Cage said.

Ted Warner, founder and consultant at Connecting Point Greeley, and fellow VentureTech Founder/IT Hall of Fame inductee, took time to reflect on how much Stegner meant to his business—and to many more through the years.
