***** I must ditto Dr. Rudolph's description of Bob/Mr. Kauffman. I was a waitress at Morey's Coach House, when it relocated to the Berkshire. I and had the pleasure of learning his unique personality and mannerisms. "Acerbic" is the perfect word to describe the man I waited on many, many a day. Once I got to know him, He always made me smile.

I had the privilege of knowing Bob during the time he served as the solicitor for the Borough of Kutztown when I was on Borough Council. Great man who looked out for the best interest of Kutztown. It was a pleasure working with him and the times when we met in social settings. My condolences to Shirley and his family.

Got to know Bob from our time together serving on the Berks County Municipal Authority. Always an outgoing and friendly gentleman. Also my wife and I had the pleasure of meeting both he and his wife when the Authority would meet for dinner once a year to get to know each other better. He will be missed by all of us on the authority board. My deepest sumpathy to his family and friends.

I will always remember Bob as a devoted synagogue leader who practiced his religion with enthusiasm. He was a great example for others to admire and follow.

I remember him as a voluble, funny, smart, sometimes acerbic, but always interesting man. He and she made quite the pair! My condolences to his wife and the entire family.
