Not sure what to say?

This is such an apt obituary, and though I didn't know much of it, it does not surprise me at all. I hope there was a big party to celebrate his life. He was joyous, and to me as an artist my first supporter, so helpful in giving me a leg up....and about that I'm sure he would make a joke.

Thank you Bob for making Portland a wonderful place to land. Appreciate your friendship will miss you.

Bob and I met sixteen years ago when he spoke at an exhibition of Photorealist prints from my collection. We have remained long distance friends since then, even acquiring art from each other. I will miss those interactions. My very best to Bob's family.

Bob was one of the finest people I met in my decades in the art business...warm, kind, smart, funny, fair and very present. He will really be missed. My husband passed away in 2019, Bob wrote the most beautiful note. He was a great person, a real friend and fine art dealer. My sympathies are with you. Bob will be really missed. All Best, Kathy komaroff goodman

Single Memorial Tree

Memories of free time afternoons watching Buster Keaton movies with an in person piano player near my studio on Laight St. Bob was gifted with selecting interesting people to attend his lunches and/or dinners. Always filled with intelligent conversation and so much laughter. I loved his quips-when I told him of loosing sight in my one eye, he responded, if the other one goes, then you can always get a job as an art critic! Bob never lost his youthful spirit, was generous by nature and I loved...

Sadly missed - an eye, a heart, a mind. Our condolences to his family.

Being chosen by Bob Feldman to print for Parasol Press was a happy event for any workshop. Bob Feldman was the ideal publisher in many ways. Always fair in his dealings, judicious with oversight, and skillful at easing things along with humor and wit. Bob was special and he will be missed. My condolences to his family.
