Robert Ein Obituary
EIN
Robert B., MD, 66, of Old Tappan.
It is with deep regret that the family of Robert B. Ein, M.D. announce his passing. He died on his beloved Island of Cape Breton, Nova Scotia July 5, 2014.
Robert the son of Toby and Isaac Ein of Glace Bay, was a graduate of Morrison High, Acadia University and the University of Bologna Medical School, Bologna Italy. He was a practicing internist and gastroenterologist in New Jersey. In 1983 Robert founded Bergen Gastroenterology, P.C., in Emerson, New Jersey. He opened the first federally approved ambulatory surgical center in the state of New Jersey. He brought the charm of Cape Breton to his New Jersey medical practice and created a medical practice that has grown exponentially. After an early retirement, Dr. Ein spent many, many joyous summers on his boat on the Mira River with his family.
Robert is survived by his wife Carmen, his two sons Mathew and Gregory, brothers Arnie (Barbara) and David, sisters-in-law Paula Michalik, Ann Ein, Nina and Vickie Carbone, brother-in-law Enzo Carbone, nephews Alexander and Spencer Ein, and nieces Natalie Ein and Elizabeth Carbone.
The family would like to extend its heartfelt gratitude to the members of the EHS and the Cape Breton Regional Hospital ER. Services will be held Tuesday, July 8, at 2 PM at Patten Funeral Home, 71 Union Street, Glace Bay. Donations in his memory can be made to the Congregations Sons Israel Cemetery Fund,c/o B.

Goodbye Bob, gone to whence ye came
In that Nova Scotia village, known
To many as Glace Bay,
Where the miners are all gone,
But the mem'ries still remain,
And the whole damned town turned out
To see you on your way
Past the boarded up, old synagogue,
The Thee-a-ter, Collette's
To that little plot near mom and dad
The rain made soaking wet,
As though the Heavens oped and cried
And all the angels wept
And River Mira swelled a bit
To have her old friend back.

My condolences, Robert was always a nice fella. When my father Billy was out at the bungalow he always did everything to make everyone happy. There's a special place for you Robert, rest easy.

My utmost condolences go out to the entire Ein family on this untimely loss of a truly special man. Bob always had a smile on his face and a magnetic charisma. He was a compassionate physician and medical visionary. I owe all that I have become to his taking a chance on me 23 years ago. May the family be comforted among the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem.

As an emergency nurse at PVH for 25 years, I remember when Dr.Ein started practicing there. He quickly became one of our favorite physicians. His good humor, practical wisdom, and excellent medical care earned him an outstanding reputation throughout the Pascack Valley area. He and Carmen would attend our Holiday parties every year, and they were always great fun. Dr. Ein was inspirational in his practice, and in his life. He was a devoted MD and family man. I am truly saddened by this news, and I extend my sincere sympathy to all of his family.

To Arnie, David, and the entire Ein family: I was startled and deeply saddened to learn of Robert's passing. It has been many years since our paths crossed, but I had followed his remarkable career path with great interest. Obviously, he will be greatly missed by many. I deeply regret that it is not possible for Kathy and myself to be with you in person, but please be assured that our thoughts are with you at this most difficult of times.

Too many great things to say about Dr. E with too little space here. Just a great man who was smiling 99% of the time... that should say more on its own than anything else. Deepest sympthies to the family.

“Although it's difficult today to see beyond the sorrow, may looking back in Memory help to comfort you tomorrow “
So sorry to hear about Robert's passing! We were friends and classmates in high school and I will never forget the good times we shared in Glace Bay. Robert always seemed to be wearing his beaming smile and was always willing to give a helping hand. The worst sunburn I ever had was on the Mira with Robert, on Isaac's boat. Toby and May (MacDonald) were not impressed – we, on the other hand, had a great day, despite the pain afterwards!! Robert was one of the good guys and he will always have a place in my memory.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
