Just reminiscing today old school Phoenix - About Bob and his fishing report - Yellow Front Stores - he did the fishing report there also. I love fishing - still do. Thx Bob - just a very nice man.

Too many years later. Condolences from the Mahoney family. I still tell my kids about stories your dad and trips up in the mountains with y'all, Christmas tree killing etc. Hope everyone is doing well


To the entire Hirsch family, I express my deepest sympathies. I just now read about Bob's passing today. I was researching outdoor articles and found the guest book. I used to dance and bike with daughter Amy in the mid 1980's. I had the pleasure to meet Bob and Mary in their Cave Creek home over dinner and remember Mary's smile when I brought out a bottle of dinner wine. I also met Amy's siblings at different times and felt welcome with all. Bob raised some great kids. Amy touched my...

Ann, I just read your story in the AZGFD magazine. Great memories for you. We all remember your influence on our kids. The oldest is married and has an RN from UA. Next is @ BYU studying Speech Path and Audiology, third is a senior tearing up the basketball court. God bless you always.

To Mary, Ann and the entire Hirsch family my deepest sympathies. I just read of Bob's passing today. Arizona hasn't been my home for almost 13 years, however, anytime there's game to be cooked, Bob's cookbook is the one I turn to. I taught with Ann in the 1990's and remember Bob as a gentleman who made you feel warm and welcome no matter that he'd just met you. I know he'll always be missed by all of you. May Peace be in your hearts this holiday season.

An old friend told me of Bob's passing only last week, and I was greatly saddened by the news (don't read the Republic much anymore). I was a great fan of Bob's writing long before I worked with him professionally. His greatest appeal came from writing for the average sportsman/woman. He always taught us something and never talked down to the newcomer. Bob never forgot that a lot of people fished from shore, owned only one or two rods, reels or guns and shopped at stores like Yellow Front and...

To the entire Hirsch family: I extend my deepest sympathy to you. I just learned of Bob's passing today.

I attended grade school with Bob's son, Bill, many years ago. Bob's presentation of the Arizona outdoors to every Arizonan was always inspiring. I still have "Yellow Front's Guide to Field Dressing Big Game" written by Bob in the early 70's; I still carry it on all of my big game hunts.

Bob was always an inspirational champion for the Arizona outdoors; he will be truly...

Lana and I had not heard of Bob's passing until today. Our condolences to Mary and the Hirsch family. We have a lot of really great memories of Bob over the years. We wish we had been able to attend the funeral to say goodbye to our very good friend. The fishing world will miss a very good friend. His seminars are among the best. His radio program is great and we wish his daughter the very best as she continues the show.
