What a great individual. Cared genuinely for his employees and his reps, like me. Took an interest in me as a person and loved to converse about politics / life and his family. Business seemed to have its proper place....I truly enjoyed making my sales calls at Trader Horn as well as shopping there. God bless his family at this difficult time. Paul McCabe

Judy and Family, I was so sorry to hear of Bob's passing. He gave me my first "real" job a long time ago. As his personal secretary/bookkeeper, I got to know him as a true gentleman. He was smart, funny, and always treated us, his work family, with kindness and respect. He will be fondly remembered.

Judy, My sincere sympathy to you ,George and your family. I go back many years calling on Bob . There were not many times that Bob didn't make an effort to give me an order. This was so appreciated by not only me but the many Reps that called on him. Bob and Harry Products will be fondly remembered and missed. Jack Rosen

I was a hardware rep for 25 years and called on trader horn and his staff. One time I was calling on Bob and he apologized that he did not need to order any product from me that day. A real gentleman.

So sad to hear this news, Bob was a giant man hiding in regular shoes. A true gentleman who cared deeply for his family, and the families he helped support. I devoted almost 15 years of my life working for and with him. As they say "it's what you do when know one is looking that shows the true character of a man". Bob will be missed, thoughts and prayers to Judy, Harry, and Leah. Remember, we WILL see him again.
With much fondness,
Dave Blakley aka The Bishop...see you Big Guy

I am saddened to hear the news of Bob's passing. I met him many years ago at a cookout and reconnected with him a few years ago as a supplier of sports and general merchandise. May his family have many wonderful memories of a kind and gentile man.
