Dear Rob, I think of you often with affection and gratitude for all you taught me. I realize now how much your guidance shaped my journey, even if I was slow to recognize it at the time. Thank you for the time we shared and the lessons you imparted-I truly appreciate everything. You are missed.

To all who were close to Rob, It has been many years since I have seen Rob, and was not aware of his passing. Rob´s talent had great depth. He was an artist and saw the talent in others and how to cultivate what we/they had. I will always have a place in my heart, and memory for Rob. Some funny stories, his shared wisdom and much more. So many years since his passing, my condolences to all in his close circle. Mary Leck

Rob was a wonderful trusted colleague. His effect on my students was magical and their growth was continuous. My trust in his expertise was complete. He will be greatly missed.

Dear Rob,
I was truely crushed to hear of your passing.
Though our paths were to go in different directions...I will always remember the courage you fostered in me, to believe in a world I had yet to discover.
You gave to me extrodinary insights into what it meant to be an individual...and to be myself...and, to be free.
Thank you for extended to me your strong loving arm to the higher ground.
The lights of my B'way have been dimmed tonite.
I hope you are...

Tony,
I am so very, very sorry to hear about Rob's passing. What a great loss. He was a wonderful voice teacher because he didn't have time for limitations, he made you want to just step up to the plate and discover what you didn't know you could do. I will really miss him. My deepest sympathy.
