Not sure what to say?

The Rolling Stones were recently here in LA Oct 2021. 32 years ago October 1989 I went to see the Stones play at the LA Coliseum with Bob. Bob had 2 extra tickets so Robbie told him to call me. I got to take my new girlfriend which was cool. Best part of the night(it rained but it was the Stones)was seeing Bob do a little shimmy as the concert went on. Bob was always nice to me growing up. My funnest times playing golf were with Bob, Norm, and of course Robbie, my best friend.

I love baseball and adored Caroline during the time your family spent in CIncinnati. I Am sorry for your loss.

Rob,
So sorry to hear about your Dad. He was my first manager in pro ball with the Expos and was a true gentleman. I actually met you when he brought you out to Calgary. You were very young. May God Bless you and your family.........Dave Barnett.

So sorry for the loss of your beloved Bob.
Warm regards, Vivian Saatjian-Green

A true best friend never judges your faults. A true best friend is always there when you need them. A true best friend is there for guidance. On Jan 9th I lost all of those things and my Father. Not a day will go by without me thinking of the times we spent together. Everyone says my father had a great life. When you think of it I'm the one who has had a great life because I had my Father in it. I love you Dad

....So sad to hear of Bob's passing. A great athlete and competitor and most of all, a good man. We had the good fortune of growing up in the heyday of the City of Long Beach's youth sports programming, where we competed against each other, frequently. From Pony League & American Legion baseball, Poly / Wilson football etc. We all knew he would make the big-time, even then. May God bless him for the good work he did in his life and for the family he leaves behind.

Dearest Bob! There is a huge lump in my throat and tears in my eyes but joy in my heart because I know you are with the Lord.
I met you and sweet Karen with baby Caroline in Pgh, on my street where we all lived. Dear friends forever. You were amazing on earth in every facet. Heaven must have cheered like crazy when you hit the best home run of your existence coming across the home plate of the gates of heaven! Well done, my friend; well done!!
