Not sure what to say?

Cummings Family, I got to know Bob through my job as Montclair beat reporter for the Newark Evening News. I think I was accepted by Bob because I was a Montclair High Class of 1958 graduate, and I still lived in Montclair. The Cummings brothers, Chuck and Bob, always were good to me. While I am sad to learn of Bob's passing, I have many fond memories of growing up in Montclair and then covering the town for the Newark News. Those were my early days in the daily newspaper business,...

I am so sorry to learn of Bob's passing. Following his retirement Bob came to work at Temple Ner Tamid in Bloomfield. He was loved by all. May his memory be a blessing for generations to come.

So sorry to you all, especially Billy and Maureen, and their amazing boys! With love,
Dale Litvany
