Not sure what to say?

In recent times, I did not spend a great deal of time with Robert. What amazed me about Robert,was his special gift of love. He has touched my heart and he will live in my heart forever. My deepest sympathy goes out to Caroline,the Leffler Family, and friends.

Robert's passing is one of those events in life that are hard to comprehend. He was much to young and too full of life to be taken this early. We talked about horse racing quite a bit and we were planning on attending the Kentucky Derby together.I really wanted to share a trip to Louisville with Robert. It couldn't happen this year, but I was certain it would happen next year. While I will continue to attend the Derby every chance I get, I will always think of Robert and have a mint julep in...

I was so sorry to hear about Robert's passing. I had the pleasure of working with Robert while he was at SEGA and have such positive memories of him. Please accept my deepest sympathies -- my thoughts and prayers are with his loved ones.

I knew Robert when he worked in Alumni Relations at UCSF, but got to know him best when, one year, we walked together on UCSF's team at the SF AIDS Walk. Last time I saw him was in the Starbucks at 9th & Irving. A good soul.

Dearest Judy and Family,
It is very clear to see that the love and respect that your brother had from all that knew him was tremendous. May the poignant words of Helen Keller help you to lessen your sorrow: "With every friend that I love who has been taken into the brown bosom of earth, apart of me has been buried there; but their contributions to my being of happiness, strength, and understanding remain to sustain me in an altered world."
May God give you all strength, courage and...

When I heard this news, I was shocked, that he passed away. And, I wa strying to contact Sega a few times, but I didn't really know he died.

I remeber talking to him since Januray, I was discussing about a new Sonic TV Series that I have plans for. And let me say this, he was a decent person I've ever talk to, I wish I'd could meet him in person, but now he's gone. All I can say is: Rest in Peace my friend.

From,

I was deeply saddened to hear the news about the death of Robert. My thoughts are with Caroline and the Leffler family during this difficult time. We are all in a state of shock. Robert was one special person and such an inspiration. He was solid and genuine in both business and friendship. I was lucky to work with him on the licensing and merchandising of Sonic. You have my deepest sympathy. Remember that the licensing industry is filled with people who cared about Robert and are...

I remember Robert very fondly. The last I saw him was in NYC with Caroline and the three of us had lunch and he was so friendly and warm and kind. I am thinking of him often. My thoughts are also with Caroline, one of the most wonderful, loveliest, kindest people I know. We'll miss you, Robert.

I'm having a little trouble with this- Just today I was rummaging through the archives of my life. I found a stack of 40+ letters written by Bob from 1974-1983. I just googled "Bob Leffler Fennimore". It knocked the wind out of me to learn that his funeral was just yesterday. He was my first boyfriend-when we lived for rollerskating, dances/bands at the Memorial Building in Fennimore and holding hands. My mom would drive me from Boscobel to Fennimore and sometimes he would ride his bike from...
