Such a beautiful person and what a tenor voice!!
Thanks, Bob, for all that you gave to your country at home and abroad, and to all that you gave the world of music with your voice in song. Perhaps you'll meet another beautiful tenor voice, that of my husband Phillip, when you get to sing in the heavenly choir!! Godspeed!! Connie LaRosa

Bob will long be remembered by those tenors (and others) who came together year after year to sing Handel's "The Messiah". He certainly is singing in a bigger choir now. Thank you for sharing him with so many of us.
