Not sure what to say?

I am the niece of Robert Rohacik who lived in Greenwich. My uncle was a Taylor and worked in Cos Cob. He loved to fish and your Dad and my uncle would fish together. I have one of your Dad’s drawings of my Uncle Michael. He was so talented. He loved your Dad and shared many stories about him. May be Rest In Peace.

Susan,
I am so sorry for your loss. Your father and your mother were good friends to both my parents when they moved in next door. I loved my visits with them when I was home visiting my parents. Your father’s art work was and is amazing.

My husband and I were married in Bob and Ruth's living Room 34 years ago. Both of our daughters have many childhood memories of swimming in the sound and picking clams out of the rocks.

He began drawing superhero comics eighty years ago, but I remember him best as the artist on the Flash Gordon newspaper comic in the early 1980's. Bob once sent me a fabulously detailed sketch of Ming the Merciless, drawn in his direct-to-ink style that he worked in every day. When he realized that I was interested in drawing...
