Bob Rothstein

Bob was the best! We all miss him from the old days in Venice, and from law school.

Bob was a great man. He & I were in the same Beit Midrash (Bible study) for many years. He was extremely supportive at my son's Bar Mitzvah at TBS. May your memory always be a blessing, friend.

I love you and am so sad you're gone. We all loved you back in Venice in the late sixties/early seventies. You were a special person. It's a hella loss, knowing you're no longer there. Thanks for helping coordinate those wonderful trips to Death Valley. Those of us who remain think of you warmly.

I knew Bob (We all called him "Rothstein") in Venice, CA 50+ years ago. A bunch of students lived on one side of Brooks Avenue, a bunch of hippies/artists lived on the other, and someone made the breakthrough and melded us into a community. We were all witty and smart and bohemian and adventuresome, and those years were the most fun of any in my life. We did spectacular trips to Death Valley that centered around his van, and we all loved each other. Was it he who promoted liverwurst and...

Awww Bob, you'll be so missed. Of all the folk in our little neighborhood band of brothers and sisters back in the early Venice days, you were one of the smartest, finest, funniest and absolutely one of the nicest people I ever met. I treasure the memories of all of us sitting on the stoop in front of 36 Brooks, all in our 20s and just starting out, sunset coming on, lambent salty air, trading stories and jokes to the sounds of rock and roll, debating all the issues of the day.... and your...

I worked for the Rothstein Donatelli law firm quite some time ago but remember Bob as a very smart and dedicated attorney (and he was a pretty nice boss, too). I was saddened to hear of his passing. May memories of times together and pride at who he was and what he accomplished in his life console his wife and children at this time of loss.

My prayers and condolences to the family. Bob was an honorable, respectful gentleman with a great legal mind. I learned a lot from him and he undoubtedly was an inspiration to my career.

Bob was an excellent mentor, beginning when I was still in law school. I will always remember his patience, his wit and his tremendous legal mind, which he used in the cause of upholding the civil rights of individuals. He encouraged me to get involved in my community, and modeled how to treat a client with respect and dignity. His legacy is long and lasting. My condolences to Sarah and to the entire family.

With much gratitude and appreciation for your skill, expertise, and the excellence with which you conducted business as one of the most noteworthy attorneys in the Southwest.

I extend my sincere condolences to your family, friends and colleagues
