Bob was an incredible man, such a handsome man. He could charm the ladies and was admired by men.
He and I were life partners for 5 years.

We had some life! Parties in Palm Beach and trips all over the country with his talented art work.

I remember packing the vans during late night hours, just to get up a few hours later to drive for a day to get to a gallery. His art was amazingly haunting

My heart has ached for he passing. I loved him so much.

I still love you Bob and always will.

Although, I only had the opportunity to meet Bob when I was very young, he made quite the lasting impression. He was a handsome man, dressed in a beautiful white suit. He had come to comfort my mother at my grandfather's funeral. My mother is Jackie Picco, and she loved Bob. They spoke often in recent years, and I know she is grateful for that. He could always make my mother feel like it was going to be o.k. My mom has some great memories of growing up with wonderful friends. I've heard many stories about Carla, Edith and Bobbie. I'm sure now he is looking down and saying once again, "It's gonna be o.k. Jack"

GOD DISCOVERED
by
Robert Yealdhall '67

Suddenly I could bear it no longer;
The happiness, the joy of living
Was bursting forth within me.
The sand was pure
And white, the water
cool; The waves rushed
to meet me.

As I threw myself into the arms of the sea,
I paused to lift my eyes
In reverence to the
heavens - I knew
That God was there.

I thanked Him
for Youth -
For Freedom -
But most of all
I thanked Him
For Life.

Bob wrote this poem in our senior year at Brooklyn Park High School. It was a part of the "Reflections" magazine that year among others. Bob and I worked on the Art Staff for the magazine and I illustrated this poem. We met in Art class and have remained close friends all of these many years. I spent a week with Bob in Florida a few months before his passing. We painted together and laughed until our sides hurt (which was usual!). He was the other side of me, we were kindred spirits, soul mates etc... I thank God for that time and also that I was able to be a part of his life for so many years. There is an emptiness and a sadness now that is overwhelming to me but I know he will always be with me in my heart and especially when I'm in my little art studio. He'll be there looking over my shoulder and saying; "Not bad, Clifton"!!!!!

Bob and Gary are together now drawing, painting and doing a lot of laughing... I love them both.

Dear Mr and Mrs. Yealdhall
Jack and I are so sad to hear of the passing of your son,Bob. He lived in the apartment below us at Oyster Bay, and we spent many nice times together when we were there for the winter months. He was always so much fun to be with, and we had many nice times together. We love all the paintings he did for us, and we will always think of him when we look at them.
He was always there to help us carry our things upstairs when we arrived at Oyster Bay.
We will miss him so much, and Oyster Bay will never be the same for us without him. Our prayers are with you and your family, and we we know how badly you feel because he was like a son to us too.
Most Sincerely,
Jack and Louise Greene----Cape Cod Mass.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Yealdhall;

I just heard tonight about Bob's passing, and had to go on the Web to see if it was true.

I am so sorry.

He was one of the coolest people I have ever met.

He and Jim had their work in my sister's gallery in Stuart, Florida. I am looking at one of his paintings right now.

"The soul would have no rainbow if the eyes had no tears." This Indian proverb seems to me, to fit, as Bob had the most incredible eye for color.

We will miss him, too.

Sincerely,

Lisa Humbert
Palm City, FL

My husband and I were deeply saddened to hear the news of Bob. We were winter neighbors of his at Oyster Bay and will miss him so much. He helped us find our condo and did a beautiful painting for us which we will cherish always. My parents live in the condo above his and thought of him as a son. He was always there to help them carry things upstairs etc. His wonderful sense of humor, and presence will be so greatly missed. There will never be a day at Oyster Bay that I won't think of Bob. He is in our prayers. May your family and friends be of comfort to you through this difficult time.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Yealdhall,
It was with such sadness that I read about Bob's death. You both are in my thoughts and prayers. Bob and I were great friends in high school. We had many "escapades" that still bring a smile to my face. He was a wonderful, talented man who will not be forgotten by the many of us who loved him.
With Fondest Regards,

Bob and I not only went to high school together, but we were born on the same day in the same hospital. I am saddened to hear of his passing and offer my deepest sympathies to the family.
