It was an honor to spend a few hours with you & Bob in mid February at your home as a hospice volunteer. I'd mentioned how synchronistic it was ~ and I will always remember you both, fondly.

Dear Susan,
Bob was one of the most special, kind, funny and wonderful people I have ever met. I worked with Bob throughout his entire tenure. You and Bob were at our wedding in June 1988 which I very much appreciated! Bob brought FOJP into the limelight as an important organization in the malpractice and liability field. Nary a day went by when he wasn't helping somebody and making an impact on them and their families. May his name be for blessed memories.

Dear Susan and family:
I was saddened to learn of Bob's passing.
When my career was first starting at FOJP I found myself in an interim director position for which I was not ready or qualified. I reported to Bob who took on the role of mentor and coach until a Director could be hired. As president of FOJP, he moved the company forward to a position of respect and leadership in the risk management community. His humor, charisma and business acumen underscored his leadership style.

I worked under Bob throughout his tenure at FOJP. He was a very strong and charismatic leader. You never doubted that you had a good leader at the helm of FOJP. He may be gone but our memories of him are still with us.

Dear Susan and family ,
I was so shocked and saddened to hear of Bob's passing - he was always a giant of a man to me and I so appreciated his support and love that went beyond our business relationship . The description quintessential New Yorker does it for me .
It all brought back memories of great times we had during Bob's FOJP years .
I hope you are well - Bob was a lucky man to have had you by his side and he knew it !
Bob will live in our hearts forever

Bob Markowitz was a great and kind man with a clever sense of humor that initially surprised me coming from such a distinguished quintessential New Yorker. As a friend of his one of his daughters, he treated me like family when I moved to New York from the west coast and I will always remember fondly my time spent with him during those years. My heart aches for his family's loss. He will no doubt live on in the memories of the many people whose lives he touched.
