Not sure what to say?

You were beloved by me and the other members of the 1973 & 1974 New Trier East track team. So grateful to have had you for my coach, and as my friend. Hopefully you are enjoying your running and acting Upstairs !!

You´re a better man than I am, Gunga Din! I'll never forget Mr. Antus. The most passionate English teacher I ever had. Morton East, 1989.

I still talk about Bob when the subject of Track and Field comes up which is almost eveey week. Best Coach Ever !

I will never forget what a great coach and mentor hevwas to me.

Bob is never far from me in my daily life. He was a true mentor and great track coach !

Robert and I were in an advanced Meisner class at Victory Gardens. We did some scene work together--from All My Sons. We really connected, and he showed his joy, anger, and sadness. He was beautiful. I will remember him that way--fully alive and connected and going for it on stage. You have my most sincere condolences.

I just learned today (Feb. 6) of Robert's death. He took three of my acting classes at Victory Gardens Theatre in Chicago. He was a fine man and a fine, truthful actor. I'm sorry to hear about this.

I didn't know Robert for very long. I was fortunate enough to have met him at Victory Gardens Theater where we were both taking a class last year. The teacher became a student once again. I found Robert to be rather shy and a bit introspective at first but as the class progressed you saw this inquisitiveness and personality and true talent come to the forefront. He was a joy to work alongside and I am so sorry to hear of his passing. My thoughts and prayers go out to those he loved and those...

Please accept my deepest sympathies. He was my teacher really stricted but, the very best. Am so sorry.
