Dear Bernie and family, I remember meeting you on the bus to Newark State College back in 1967 and the beginning of our friendship.. Of course I remember you dating Bob, the engagement and marriage and the birth of your children - and Bob joking with me about my job in the hinterlands of Sussex County. Then life went on. I am retired and you a grandmother. I am so sorry for the loss of your Bob and hope family and friends will ease your grief. marie Kovacs

Hoyer Family,
I was shocked to hear that Bob had passed away. We were coworkers and friends for many years and I will always remember Bob as one of the kindest, most genuine people I have ever known. May God bless your family at this time.
