A year has gone by and I am missing Bob deeply. I miss his smile, his voice, his eyes, his mind, his hugs, his routine and his mischievous ways.

I knew Bob a very long time ago. What a wit! We shared many laughs.

Hey Bobby,
I miss you. I miss our chats on the phone and you making me giggle by saying something bizarre. You were always supportive with issues regarding Nick & Steph and helped to keep things in perspective.
You made a warm home with Lisa and I always felt welcome in your life.
I will miss our trips to Rock Creek and hikes to Chicken Foot when you had everyone on the trail laughing. And on the bus to Rainbow Falls "working the crowd" as Lisa puts it. I will miss the fun we had playing games with you. Even during the tough times you kept your sense of humor.
I miss you Bob. I am very lucky to have the memories with you and will always remember and cherish them. You touched me with your heart. I miss you. I love you.

When I first met Bob, I knew we would get along great. He would always tease me about losing my teeth and was always fun to be around. As he knew and always said, Bob was my favorite uncle. I could always count on him being so happy to see me when he greeted me with a "Stepher!" and a big genuine smile. I will definitely miss this but will also cherish the memory of it. Bob was always the one at holidays and family get-togethers making everyone laugh, which made it fun and warm. The first time we went to Rock Creek he insisted on playing Yahtzee, only if he could be on my team and again, he was our source of humor. And all of us that were there remember when we were all on the bus near Mammoth and he was making the whole bus laugh. I miss Bob so much and I'm glad I got to be around him as many times as I was. I love and thank him so much for being the best uncle anyone could ever ask for.

Knowing that Bob is no longer struggling and at peace is a great comfort.I miss him so. He was a larger than life man. When I first met him, that well worn safari hat on head..I thought..hmm, he's a little nuts..just like me...We formed a friendship that was truly a friendship of the spirit. He always left me rolling on the floor laughing..in spite of his illnes. He had the biggest heart, and was always there for me. We leaned on each other during his illness and I can hear him now as I'm writing this..."He'd say..ok, Nancy..make me look good..lie, if you have to.." Hee! Hee! I feel so fortunate to have had a friend like him.
To my dear Lisa.. You have endured much, given much, and persevered with all the strength of your being. I am so grateful to know you. Your love and devotion to Bob and his undying love for you will never end. You and Bob are a testimony of what love is. I pray that you can rest in God's comfort, knowing that Bob is near you. I love you...

My dear sweet Lisa,
Bob was a lucky man. He lived a great life and he had you! His laugh was infectious. Just seeing his face and the smile that was always there would brighten up a room the minute he walked in. I will never be able to think of Bob without smiling and remembering his fantastic outlook on life. He helped me through a few rough times in my recovery by just shedding an uplifting point of view that I had not thought of. I am in awe of his ability to fight his illness and keep that shining smile.

But most of all I am so proud of you and the way you took care of him and showed such incredible love. Our friendship has seen many phases of life over the years but one thing is constant, my love and everlasting friendship.

Lisa, our family loves you and we will always be here for you. Bob touched our lives in a way that will never be forgotten. With love and in friendship always and forever,

Susan and the Tordini gang, Dennis, Damon, Alex and Jack

Dear Lisa,

Our message is to you because we know that Bob is with God...and he's doing just fine. You are our hero. Your love and devotion to Bob was amazing, and he was very lucky to have shared his life with you. He discovered in you what we've all known for years - you're loving, compassionate, funny, kind and full of life.

Surround yourself with friends and family now, and know that Bob is looking down on you and will always be in your heart.

Stay strong, and always know that you will have us to lean on and laugh with - especially when we tell all those great stories about our friend, Bob.

We love you!

Michele, Matt, Lane and Claire Richards

As Roomates Bob and his friend the dearly departed Steve susskind started the doo wop group The Roomates,nearly 40 years later the name The Roomates continues here in England with my group also called The Roomates,in the last few years i had a few e mail conversations with Bob, he always had nothing but good words and support for our group.it saddens us that we wont be able to email anymore with stories about our two groups and the similarities apart from the name which there is between both our groups,in harmony Bob and Steve inspired us along with Jack and Felix,now both together in a better place they can harmonise again.

The Roomates rocked and doo wopped with the best of them and Bob was a main contributor to that cause

We are known by the path we walk, and Bob walked a path of adventure, love and full expression of this thing called life. He has touched our lives and we touched his. And God is bigger because of it. What more could we ask.

You are my love always. Rest peacefully.

Here's Bob with his niece Stephanie, in a cabin at Rock Creek (Sierras). They were the best of buddies.

Bob was my Hero! He put his hand out to me when I didn't know where to turn nor what to do. He got me connected with other people that were inspirational and truly saved my life. He was a very kind man, a gentle man who truly loved his wife, Lisa and family. Bob left a huge impression on me and I wil never forget him. He touched my heart. He always encouraged me to move forward and taught me, through his example, that I can walk through ANYTHING life throws at me with dignity and grace. I think about him every day and he will be truly missed. My heartfelt condolences to his family.

Bob was the best friend anyone could ask for. I worked with Bob for many years and always enjoyed his spirit and love of life. He was truly one of the smartest and wittiest people I've ever known. I will truly miss him.
