Not sure what to say?

Still think of you from time to time Bob.

I just learned of Bob's passing and would like to convey my sincere condolences to his family. I subscribed to Bob's newsletter for many years and talked to him on the telephone almost daily for well over ten years. We became fast friends. I finally got to meet Bob, face to face, when he came to Columbia for an investment club meeting. We spent almost the entire weekend together and had more than a few adult beverages. It was like two old fraternity brothers that hadn't seen each other for a...

To the Drach family:
Please accept my condolensces on your loss. Mr. Drach will be missed not only for his commentary but also for the "life's lessons" he imparted. Mr. Drach was a true pioneer who was not afraid to stick to his convictions (quite correctly) despite erroneous current opinions. He will be missed. Sincerely, Peter Walsh

I can honestly say Mr. Drach changed my entire way of investing and viewing the stock market. In my opinion, he remains the most under rated stock analyst ever. Mr. Drach never believed in "Hype" or promoting himself on commercial financial news programs. He leaves with the highest percentage of winning trades, 90%+, over 36 years in the history of the stock market.

I'd like to add my words of condolence and sympathy to the family of Robert Drach and to those who knew this wonderful man. I had the privilege of meeting him at an AAII (American Association of Individual Investors) meeting in 2000, and immediately realized the unique concept he had of equity investing. I subscribed to his newsletter and continue to gain from the wisdom and the humor in the articles.

Bob Drach was a friend and mentor to me. A brilliant man, I am sure his legacy and investing methodology will be carried on by his equally brilliant son, Robert Drach Jr. I would like to express my deepest condolences to his family members. I will miss you my friend.

Bob and I were friends for a long time. he was best man at my wedding in 1964. We go back a long way. Condolences to his family......

Like many others, I became a big fan of Bob Drach about 15 years ago.. I was so very fortunate to be able to speak to him on the telephone many times, as he surprised me the first time I called by answering the phone himself. No receptionist. "Why do I need one, they just are more trouble than they were worth", he suggested. He was so kind to me and he would talk for a very long time. Invariably, his dog would bark and he would need to end the call to walk him. I regret I haven't spoke to...

Five years ago I had heard of the Drach Report from a friend, and I subscribed to it at the time because of its brilliant and compelling analysis. Over this time, Mr. Drach's report helped to get through the worst of the Great Recession and was the most excellent pilot for navigating the financial storms. Mr. Drach also took the time to personally respond to my beginner's questions, for which I am extremely grateful. I would like to express my great sorrow at his passing and my condolences...
