Not sure what to say?

Sincerest and deepest condolences from Dorothy and Frank Pesci.

I would like to express my sympathy to you all. I spent many wonderful hours in your home as a child, and your parents always made me feel welcome. I remember on one occasion your Dad taking Theresa and me to see a show at OCCC and making me feel like I was a princess. He was a special man who I'm sure has left a wonderful legacy through his children & grandchildren.

My very heartfelt sympathy to all of the Novaks for the loss their patriarch. Charlie, you are especially in my thoughts because of your very special relationship with your father.

I am so sorry for your loss, your father was a wonderful man and he will be greatly missed by all who knew him.Dr. Novak was a remarkable educator, father and supporter of athletics. God Bless

I was a member of the faculty under Bob Novac for many years. He was gracious, friendly, honest, fair, respectful and treated me as an equal. He was a nice man and I will remember him fondly. How very sad to see him leave us.

Joan, Andrew and entire Novak Family,

We were sad to see the notice of your father's passing. Know that we are praying for your family's comfort and understandng at this time of loss.

First let me express my deepest sympathy to the entire Novak family. I had the pleasure of first meeting Dr. Novak at OCCC and then working with Bob at Otterkill CC but I never knew the depth of the man. It turns out the querky stories told to a young man are more appreciated now as an adult. Rest easy my friend, it has been a pleasure having you in my life.

I had taken Dr Novaks geography classes while I was a student at OCCC. I still love geography and remember those classes fondly. He was a great teacher both in and out of the classroom. He will be missed.
