BOB IS DOING SPORTS IN HEAVEN HE PASSED AWAY AT ST PETER'S HOSPITAL IN 2010 GOD REST HIS SOUL HE IS WATCHING OVER US

Dear Sylvia and McNamara family,
I worked for Bob on the sports staff of Knickerbocker news. He taught me a lot about the newspaper business. I attribute my success in the newpaper business for over 50 years to the lessons Bob taught me. We remained friends ever since and we became even closer when he moved to Florida.

Dear Sylvia,

Peter and I returned from a trip last evening and learned of Bob's passing from the newspaper. We are so sad for you and for his family. His laughing eyes and famous smile are imprinted on us as we think of all the times we watched his sports reviews on TV.

We send all of you our sympathies at this very difficult time. We would share personally but we don't know how to find any of you. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. Fondly, Peter...

Kelli,
So sorry to hear about your Dad's passing. My thoughts are with you at this time.

Sylvia,
Our love and prayers are with you during this very sad time and in the days to come! May Robert rest in peace with the Lord!
God Bless You,
Sandra and Dan Marcus

My deepest condolences to Bob & Sylvia and the McNamara family. From High School thru College, Bob was one of my biggest supporters. I was very happy to see him this past summer at Saratoga and we talked about sports----what else would you expect. He was a gentleman and a friend and he will be missed but he will not be forgotten.
We were fortunate to have "Mac" all these years.

Dear Colin, Graham and Family -

You are in my thoughts and my heart now and always.

Love,

I used to watch Bob with his nightly broadcasts of the latest in the sports world. The only time I met him was in NYC-he had run in the NY Marathon- I congratulated him and he was so gracious. A very memorable day for me.
