May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. We extend our deepest sympathy and prayers. Your friends and acquaintances at the Knights of St. Casimir's - 6th St Hall

I have forgotten just how we are related but remember as a little girl dancing the polka and hearing Bob's sirens go off with some of his musical numbers. He was all smiles and enjoyed spreading good times for people thru this music. Thank you so much Bob for sharing! (I think your dad was related to my mother's mom, Mary Brock Dabrowski).

Bob will be greatly missed , and his yakety Sax will always be remembered as well as his bird dance at my graduation party years ago. Bob had the biggest heart and would help anyone. The days of the bands getting together to distribute things to the Vets at the VA where Bob worked will always hold a special place as well. Rest in peace Bob. Many thoughts and prayers to the family .

We are so sad to learn of the loss of our cousin Bobby as we said goodbye to Helen a short time ago. They both brought so much joy to so many with their music and their always joyful personalities. I am sure they were recruited immediately into the music department in the heavenly realms. We will mis Bobby and will lift prayers for healing of sorrow as Tony and the family goes forward.

So sad to hear! Bob and his band played at our very Polish wedding in 1975 at Polish Falcon´s Hall on Fulton. He will have the angels dancing to that happy, snappy Polka sound! RIP, Bob.
