To the Kosbob Family,
I'm deeply saddened to hear of your loss. I will say a prayer for you .
Back in 2000 I adopted a Golden Retriever puppy from your family. This little puppy became a very loved family member. She was called to Rainbow Bridge after giving us 13.5 happy years. I'm certain she found Bob's welcoming presence, open arms and loving smile.
May you continue to embrace the joy-filled memories your family shared. I'm so sorry for the tragic losses your family has suffered. May 2014 bring you all much deserved peace and joy.

I believe this is the William Kosbob who comforted a friend of mine who died in a fatal car crash in Baltimore in April 1991. If this is him, God Bless him for the comfort he gave Kimberly Schroeder during the hour of suffering she endured while being cut out of her car. It's nice to know that a good man was at her side when she was scared. Even though she would pass away a few hours later, it meant something for you to be there at her most desperate time and need of comfort and a friend.

Billy, Tommy, Linda and Judy all grew up on the block where I lived as a child in HHK. It was a very friendly neighborhood. Learning of Bill's passing is a reminder of days gone by. Walking to school, sledding on the hill. So sorry to hear about your loss.

Maureen, Jeremy and Alex, you know how we feel about you and how distraught our family have been since Billy's passing. We were fortunate to enjoy his company on Christmas Eve. He was in fine form, taught us how to keep a fire going , and joined in with the laughter and good spirits on the evening. Bobbi and I thoroughly enjoyed the time we spent with him. I personally found him an extraordinary wealth of information on a great number of issues. He was passionate and honest to the core. He will certainly be missed by us all and in particular as we join our families through Nicole and Jeremy. We will move forward together and share in his memories
.Love to all the Kosbob Family from Alexi,Nicole Daniel, Katie Bobbi and Michael

Billy was a classmate of mine at Ho-Ho-Kus Public School. I still have vivid memories of Billy and his Irish Setters running around!
It is both sad and shocking to hear of his premature death. He has been through so much and dealt with the most profound tragedy in such a thoughtful and graceful manner - he was, and will remain, an inspiration. He and his family are in my prayers.
