Dr. O'Brien was an extraordinary therapist and a friend everybody should be lucky to have. My thoughts go to his family.

Robert was an extraordinary person that was always generous with his time and friendship. We shared a lot of laughter as well as profound conversations We both loved Rock and Roll as well as the posters and enjoyed discussing the music, art and artists that went along with the subject. I will miss those times.

Dr.O'Brien was a remarkable and amazing Doctor who was my confidant and nothing short of a hero to me. My heartfelt prayers go out to his family as well as his other patients. His sort is all too rare and he will be sorely missed. Thank you Doctor for your understanding, your compassion and outright assistance in some of my darkest hours.

Dr. O'Brien was the best psychiatrist I have ever had and helped me through some of the most difficult times in my life.
My prayers go out to his family... I am so sorry for their loss.

On behalf of our entire family, we send our sincerest condolences to the O'Brien family on the sudden passing of Robert. It has left us speechless. Your family has been so kind to us. Deanna and Peter Gumina, Pete, Elena, and Gregory

My mother, Helen Anne, was a patient of Dr. O'Brien's. Both she and I were deeply saddened to hear of Dr. O'Brien's untimely death. He was a great help to us in past years as my mother's health declined. We had some lovely conversations with him about eclectic topics (he gave me some wonderful insights about Melville, for example). He spoke often of his family with love. The O'Brien family is in our hearts and our prayers.
