Not sure what to say?

Bob and I were roommates at EIU we had great fun. Playing pool in bars, watching sports, debating who the best college hoops team and he almost made me a Buffalo fan ! We would rattle off sports stats like nothing. Our team won the EIU trivia on year because he somehow knew some arcane olympic swimmers stats. Really can't believe its been 6 years. I hope his family knows how much of a fun a guy he was. Wicked smart and funny. Missed by many. Godspeed

I knew about Bob's passing at the time, but I think that even with the passage of 2 years, I haven't forgotten about him at all. I played music with Bob in Gone Hazel in Toronto and amongst many things, he was an extremely talented songwriter, singer and bass player and a friend.

Rest in peace my old friend. You were a great inspiration and like a mentor to me. The years in Yardshaker are some of the best in my life and you taught me so much about music and perhaps more importantly about life. My most deepest condolences to the family.

When you sit opposite someone at work every day for a couple of years you get to know what they're passionate about. I have many memories of Robert waxing lyrically about music, sport, and above all, little Marco. My condolences to all his family.

<3 Love and thoughts for all Family in US and DK

Hanne, Marco, Sharon, Craig and the Cellini Family-
I am so very sorry for your loss and hope that your memories of Bob bring you comfort in your saddest moments. I remember Bobby fondly. XO, Janis Sinisi

Our bond over being forced to take piano lessons in third grade and a love of cartooning forged a friendship for life. I admired Bob's immense courage throughout his second cancer battle and his devotion to Marco. So sorry I missed what should have been our last gig together. We'll play again, I'm sure. Condolences to Hanne, Marco, Sharon, Craig and the rest of the family.
