Not sure what to say?

Bob was a pleasure to both play quartets with and to exchange ideas with. He will be missed. My codolences. Shalom.

On behalf of the Peace Corps community, our most sincere condolences to Bob's family and friends for your tragic loss. I am grateful for Bob's service to his country as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Sierra Leone, and know that he positively impacted many people in his lifetime of service to others.

Heartfelt condolences to Jean and family. Bob was a dear friend, a wonderful musician and all around nice guy. He will be sorely missed.

So sorry, Jean. I played in a quartet with Bob just a few summers ago. He'll be greatly missed at Play Week. May he rest in peace.

Bob was a wonderful chamber music player. He was always kind and enthusiastic with his group members at Play Week. Always up for trying a more unusual piece of music and leading the way with his strong violinistic skills. All our sympathy to his family.

My sympathy to his family. I met Bob playing chamber music at a summer workshop, and he was such a great person to hang out with and talk, even outside of rehearsal. He taught me to say 'hello' in Hungarian, and I know I'll never say it as well as him. May his memory be a blessing.

I am so sorry, Jean. Playing chamber music with Bob at the summer workshops was such a delight. I will miss him. I wish you comfort.

Sorry for your loss - our UUofC was made so much better with his (and yours) presence. I'm holding your family in my heart and sending you love.

I met Bob when he was serving on the nominating committee one year around 2011. He and Jean were a lively couple, and I so appreciated their thoughtful participation in the work of the church. Bob had a beautiful musical talent. I shall miss him.
