Dear Robin.

I was deeply saddened by George's passing. He will forever live on in the hearts and minds of his many fans around the world. The amazing books and wonderful characters he created has left us all will a powerful legacy which will endure for ever.

Dear Robin,
It's been almost a year since we celebrated our 50th, with the amazing brunch you so lovingly prepared for all of us. What a glorious day that was, and how proud George was of you! He brought so much to our lives that it is hard to think he's no longer here on earth with us. Please know of our continued sympathy for you, Judy, and all his family.
Barb (Smith) and Don Corbett

Robin and Family,

Pam and I wish to express our condolences for your loss. We attempted to keep up with his condition after the operation. I have been gone from Delmar for 50 years and personally have a terrible time with faces. After all those years some faces still belonged to the names. Conversations with others confirm they are the owners of the names. With George only a few words were required to establish his old identity as a warm and friendly person. We would like to...

Dear Robin,
My deepest and most sincere condolences for the loss of George.
I go a long way back with George, since the late 1960's when he was teaching Special Education for Rockland County BOCES.
I remember so well when he finally decided to devote full time to writing and resign from teaching. I was teaching Italian and Spanish at Tappan Zee H.S. with the South Orangetown High School and George was teaching at the South Orangetwon Middle School for BOCES. He felt so liberated...

My condolences. I was a big fan of the Mongo novels and was lucky enough to have several pleasant email exchanges with George.

My condolences to the family. I had an opportunity to meet Mr. Chesbro at a book fair and had a wonderful time. He was one of my favorite authors and I truly enjoyed his works.

My sincere condolences.

I have been a long time admirer of Mr. Chesbro's talent. I just discovered the news of his passing and was greatly saddened.

The world has lost a truly unique artist; and all too soon.

I hope you find some measure of comfort in that your loved one had such a positive impact on so many.

Dear Robin,
You received my phone call earlier today.
You lost a Husband.
I lost a friend.
The world lost a truly fine writer.
My heart goes out to you and the rest of the family.

To Robin and all of George's family,
On behalf of everyone associated with the 1994 Bouchercon, the World Mystery Convention, where George was our Toastmaster, please accept our sympathy for your loss. George was a delight to work with, did us proud and we all appreciated the chance to get to know him.
George's work was like no one else's. As someone with a disability, I have a lasting fondness for the wonderful character of Mongo, and have always been grateful for his...
