I knew Bob from his many trips to Akumal with Paula. There was a stabilizing calmness about Bob. He was an understated man though I knew a bit about his life´s work. But that really came into focus when I watched the memorial concert. So many people he unselfishly helped. My condolences to Paula and his family. May he rest in peace.

My heartfelt condolences are offered to the family, many, many friends, colleagues and devoted army fans of Mr. Bob Neuwirth. Mr. Bob Neuwirth was a folk music singer-songwriter and influential associate of Bob Dylan who wrote ‘Mercedes Benz’ with Janis Joplin. He was greatly admired by his fellow artists and all those who knew him. May the love and many, many special memories you shared with your devoted loved one show how much your life was touched by him. May the God of comfort bless your grieving hearts with strength, loving kindness and peace as the world copes with the loss of Mr. Bob Neuwirth. May his music and legacy keep his memory alive forever.

Bob was a great man, no doubt about it. I knew him personally so I can say that. Extremely kind and funny, smart and inspirational. Very modest and not stuck up. He saw the value in people including the “little guy”.
I miss him and he is missed by many people. Have met no one like him.

Bobby you did so much for so many. It was always my great pleasure to see you around, say hello and share a hug. People felt special in your presence, when you spoke it was always gems falling in a language only you spoke; always from the heart, honest, vulnerable, quick-witted, and suffering no fools. Onstage, backstage, at the table or in the basement, the pleasure was mine. Your dedication to experiencing life in all its myriad moments, always on the sunny side, will not soon be forgotten. You’ve earned it brother, rest and know how very loved and appreciated you are.
