Can't believe it's been 9 years. I still play Bob's CD when I'm working in my studio. Best to the family and especially Maggie.

I didn´t realize how cool you were until you were gone. I have a lot of great memories with you during my childhood. You were always so funny and quick witted. I remember you teaching music at my elementary school. You sure are missed Grampa, I hope to be as cool as you were.

This wonderful man was my flute teacher during the early-mid sixties until we moved to Taiwan. He then sent me reel to reel tapes with lessons and plenty of books. He inspired me for a life time. Several years ago, I was able to find him and talk to him after nearly forty years. I taught flute for 30 years and I looked at every student through his eyes. Mr. Silberstein, I will love and keep you in my heart forever. You are my Mr. Holland's Opus.

I ditto everything that others have said here about Bob. He was also the nicest guy one could ever hope to work with! I loved his sense of humor, his kind and gentle nature, and his musicianship. My sincere sympathy to Maggie and all the family.
