Robert K. "Bob" Love

We were so sorry to hear of your loss. Mr. Love was so special in my live and a big influence in my musical taste.

The support he gave to my musical talent in the early 60's has lasted a lifetime. I played violin in the MHS orchestra & sang in Choral Art Alumni all over New England. After graduation I kept singing in church, college, for weddings, cabarets, musicals and in clubs as a guest of a musician friend. I especially enjoyed seeing Bob play the Wurlitzer theater organ when he came to Providence Performing Arts in Rhode Island. I have a couple precious recordings of him and wish I had more. Anyone...

I always admired Bob. While not a member of his orchestra, I was in the band (class of 1960). I will never forget him. God Bless!

I barely knew Bob, but everytime I would see him or talk to him he was such a great person to be around. I'm truely saddened by this and I will keep the family and his name in my heart.

I am saddened to learn of Bob's passing. I've known Bob for 26 years and he played the organ at my wedding in 1993. He was very much a man who sailed life's seas like a valiant old norse viking.

Bob Love was a great man. If it was somthing as much as performing a musical masterpiece or somthing as little as explaining a picture from a previous year to a new camper, Bob was allways trying to make everyones summer one they will never forget. Somthing I think he did very well.

Bob was one of my favorite counselors at Camp Lanakila. I remember him not only for his talents but his absolute love for music. In the most recent Camp Musical, Annie Get Your gun, Bob made a small mistake during the overture. He started playing the overture to "Oklahoma" When he realized the mistake, he made a slick manuever that got him back on track. I don't know anybody else in the world who could fix a mistake in music so beautifully and I probably never will. Camp will never be the...

Death is like the most brilliant sunset one can imagine. Fierce colors fill the sky; but through all these colors, an even brighter light shines from the place which is after death ...

Bob was a truly radiant spirit who quietly animated those around him ... i was one of thousands of campers and counselors at Lanakila who was touched by that and will never forget him (and his lopsided wig in the 80s!). His name was fitting.
