Bob (Moe) and I both grew up in Zanesville Ohio. Bob got me started in tennis, introduced me to the Ohio University tennis coach which led to a tennis scholarship. He did so much for me over the years, always called me to wish me a happy birthday every year. Bob was a great friend and had a great sense of humor. I will miss all the laughs we shared together over the years. God bless you and your family.

Bobby was a good friend I met on the tennis courts at ZHS in the early 60s. He was a great tennis player and always offered help to anyone he could. We traveled to many cities in Ohio and neighboring states playing tennis on the weekends.
I haven't seen him since '62 or '63 I moved from Zanesville in '67.
Please accept my condolences and I know he will be missed by all who knew him
