Not sure what to say?

wow, another year! loved bob. not only was he an amazing musician but an outstanding human. bob put others first, bob always was about his family and friends before his own wants and needs. the world needs more Bob Kaiser's. Here's a toast of the red to Bob and his family, your spirit lives on my friend.

Bob was playing at Karl's Clipper, and my sweetheart from Georgia (now my wife) was visiting. I had spoken to Bob about her when riding his bus, and he got to meet her at the gig. He was nice enough to play "Georgia On My Mind" especially for her that night, and she's never forgotten it. So Heaven has a new band member. Rest In Peace Bob. You were a good man.

I am so sorry for your loss. I had the fortune of meeting Bob at our Holiday Concert at Cathedral where he performed. May his memories be your strength. ~Reverend Michele, Cathedral Parkway Towers

I AM VERY SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT THE LOSS OF MR. BOB KAISER FROM THIS MORTAL WORLD. I CAN REMEMBER A NUMBER OF TIMES, IN BOARDING AN M.T.A. BUS, HEARING A SMALL RADIO, PLAYING THE CRISP, VIBRANT, ALERT SOUNDS OF JAZZ IN MR. KAISER'S DRIVER AREA. AFTER A LONG DAY (OR NIGHT), IN COMING HOME FROM MANHATTAN, TO HAVE MR. KAISER DRIVING THE "JAZZ BUS" WAS SWEET MUSIC TO MY EARS, AND A WELCOME PLEASURE FROM THE DIN OF EVERYDAY NEW YORK CITY LIFE. REST IN THE HEAVENS, MR. KAISER, AND I AM SORRY FOR YOUR...

Dear Mary and Kris sorry for your loss of such a sweet, warm hearted man. He had a talent, aside from his musical attributes, for putting people at ease and including them in his world. Truly a special person that I was lucky enough to have crossed paths with in this life. RIP Bob.

Mary and Chris; so sorry for your loss, love and prayers for you. Bob was a wonderful guy.

I first met Bob in Hunter Mt at the Last Resort. I, too, was from SI but had moved upstate and myself and Odyssey bonded over our mutual SI. That was one of the best times ever and Bob and Odyssey were there. I later moved back to SI and would occasionally see the band at different functions. My sincere condolences Mary, don't know if u remember me..I also was a nurse at siuh. May he RIP. Both he and Jimmy OD are probably jamming already. So sorry for your loss, he was a great man.

We came to know Bob & Mary through Jack & Fran...a privilege! So very sorry for your loss, Mary. We always enjoyed being with Bob & loved his love for music! Two good friends are rejoicing in each other's arms

Rip Bob
May you rest peacefully in the arms of Jesus.
My condolences to Mary and her family. He will be with you & watch over you always.
