Not sure what to say?

I first met and heard Bob sing at Life Long in 2014. The individuals with me shared my view - we had to hear him sing again!! I learned through various conversations with Bob, attendance at gigs, etc. that he was kind, intelligent, thoughtful, warm, funny, gifted and talented. Those are just a few of the adjectives that come to mind. In my mind, Bob had the most awesome voice I have ever heard and I oft times told him he belonged on Broadway!!!

Uncle Bob will be missed many, near and far. He was a man of many talents, from the art of singing and playing guitar to his love of the outdoors and nature. His loss and his great spirit will be felt by many, whether it be from exploring nature to learning a new instrument. We love you and miss you and may you always be with us in whatever our lifes next adventure holds.
Love Maggie, Tim, and Jaime (aka Wormie) ❤

I first met Bob back in the early 1970s when he was teaching at Alfred State College.

Bob touched our lives for many years here at the Ithaca YMCA. He shared his passion for life, through playing and singing music for our seniors during the holidays, teaching Karate and kickboxing to all ages and sharing his knowledge of exercise with others. What a bright smile he offered to us all when he walked through the Y door.
With much sympathy.

Rest In Peace, Bob.

We will miss you, dear friend
