Leslie and I knew Bob for more than 4 decades. We were more than friends we were family. Leslie helped with Robyn and and then Ryan way back in 1978. Bob and Leslie are now with the angels. May they Rest In Peace.

Words cannot express how much Bob mentored me into the person I am today. Working with him for 20 years at Imperial Abstract was such a blessing. I will always remember Monday morning after football games on Sunday , how he would always talk about the games and how the Giants (my team) would lose. He was truly inspirational and will be missed dearly. My condolences go out to the family during this time ,Words cannot express how much Bob mentored me into the person I am today.
