Not sure what to say?

Beverly, I’ll always fondly remember spending time with Bob. He was delightful, intriguing, unpredictable and kept me on my toes!

Dear Bev, We were so sorry to hear of Bob's passing. What an eloquent and elegant portrait of him you shared on your Facebook page. May his memory be a blessing to all who knew and remember him.

I worked as Bob’s secretary at Fairleigh Dickinson University in the early ‘80’s when he was the Chairman of the Psychology Department. I was a young newlywed at the time, and Bob’s advice and humor, as well as his clear love for people, made him a delight to work with. Rest in peace.

Bob was an amazing man, we had many morning conversations over coffee. I sincerely enjoyed the company of Bob & Beverly. He was as genuine as a man could be, someone to look up to. My brother and i had the pleasure of being their guest at their home in California and those are memories that will not be forgotten. He will be missed by many. Prayers to Beverly

Mrs. Chell, So very sorry to hear of Bob's passing. What a kind heart he was. You both were so kind to host us at The Reserve in California. A special place with special people. You still playing the drums? OD

Dr. Chell was a leader in the field of Industrial/Organizational Psychology. I was enrolled at FDU in the Masters program in the early 80's. I still remember all the classes I was fortunate to have Dr. Chell as my professor/advisor and the challenging and insightful dialogs we had in class. His encouragement was so important to me and lead me towards a successful 30 plus year career as a Human Resources leader. Thank you Dr. Chell. May you rest in peace.

We remember people for different reasons - a great laugh,a unique perspective,a story shared . Thank you Bob,you will be missed May God embrace you into His kingdom Jim

Dr Chell was a tremendous professor and an insightful human being. As my graduate school advisor he guided me to see things I hadn´t considered. He was also down-to-earth and made learning very real. Thank you Dr Chell.
