Dear Mrs. Dupont and Bob's family: It greatly saddened me to hear of Bob's passing. I worked with Bob for a number of years at Gerstein & Cohen. I also had the pleasure of playing numerous rounds of golf with Bob. Bob was so well liked at the office and always offered a pleasant hello and handshake during all of our busy and hectic days. Often the highlight of my day was the conversations we had, mostly about golf. They say you can learn alot about a man on the golf course during a round. ...
