Somehow as a relatively young person he ended up being in charge of the Credentials Committee, where all the action was at the convention. I knew Bob through our involvement with National Dance Institute (NDI). Thank you Bob for all you did in...

Wonderful person and humanitarian and always had a chuckle at either mine or his own expense. Had a great sense of style poise and humor. Sincerest condolences to John Drew Peggy

What a life and well-lived and what accomplishments! Not too many people can claim such kindness and care for others, but he can. May he rest in peace among angels as he deserved, We were honored to know of him. Our thoughts of sadness, and thoughts of an example of goodness for mankind go to his lovely family in these very sad times. Danielle, Jules and Amelia Finker

I was sorry to hear of Bobs passing. He lived a great long life I knew Bob from the textile business. When my company closed in 2002 Bob was kind enough to offer me an office to use until I found another job. I will never forget that! What a fine gentleman he was! My condolences to his family at this time.

A true gentleman!!
