To Bob's family,
My deepest and most sincere condolences to all of his loved ones.

Bob was a loyal customer of my company Amity Janitorial Supplies. I considered him a Great Guy. We shared many personal stories as we were both divorced parents with joyous Grandchildren. Bob had shared his recent love story with me and I was so happy to hear of this new found partnership.
He will always be remembered in my fondest thoughts.
Respectfully,
Barbara Sloan

With the fondest of memories I think of my cousin Bob. We grew up together on Long Island. Our families sharing unforgettable summers on the beach, visiting every holiday, birthday. and special occasion. Taking after his parents, he was a sincere, generous, thoughtful person always. He had a very special smile, and will be lovingly missed by everyone.

My heart goes out to all the wonderful people who were fortunate enough to share 'life' with Bob. I worked with him as a realtor in Rocky Point in the 1990's. He could make me laugh till I cried, I enjoyed his company so much.
Recently I saw him in CVS in Wading River, he was on his way to Conn; I wasn't feeling well and while we were 'catching up', I fainted; he caught me before I hit the pavement & watched over me until the paramedic's got there. Even then he made me laugh and smile! Only Bob could do that. He will be missed.

Although I only knew Bob for 8 short months, we packed a lot of living and loving into the time we had together. He was so good to me and for me. I have never felt so adored. We had a wonderful time together and were very connected to each other. I am so thankful for the time and beautiful love we shared. We worked hard and loved and laughed together. I will miss Bob but I know he will always be with me. He's the best! I will always love him. He loved us all.

Bob was my cousin and years ago our families always shared Christmas and other special holidays together. I remember Bob as being gentle and kind, and loved to do fun things outdoors. He always had cool bicycles and go carts that he worked on with his dad, my Uncle Harold. My love and prayers go to Bob's family and my Aunt Eleanore, and cousins Dorie, Joyce and Bill and their families. I wish I could be there to share my thoughts and express my condolences. Prayers will have to do for now.

I worked with Bob for the past 8 years, some considered him my work husband. I will miss the jokes and laughter we shared throughtout the days and years at work. He made going to work fun when stress levels were high for me. I am deeply sorry for Debbie and the Rand family's huge loss. Debbie, Thank you for making the last 8 months with Bob a complete joy for him. He loved kayaking and bike riding with you. Bob, you got the last laugh when I was told of your passing. I was completely shocked. I now consider you one of my guardian angels. I will always love you and miss you.
