Dear Family,

So sad to learn that Bob is gone. My father (Seymour Margulies) was taken into the extended Tuohy family in the 1930s. Bobby was, for me, a virtual cousin. Many warm memories of childhood in Jersey City with Bobby and the extended Tuohy/Lemken family.

James, if you read this, I send you our warm greetings.


Best wishes to Robert's family from David Margulies and Jean Margulies.

I sat next to Bob for 3 years at prep. He was a great guy. I remember being at his home one day and he showed me how to use a switchblade knife. Well, needless to say it slipped out of my hand and I still have the knife wound on my right knee.. But we had a great time after the blood stopped.
