Not sure what to say?

I was a good friend of Bob's in my first year at Solebury School. I also remember his satirical humor and warmth very clearly. He was actually my first friend there and we had many a talk. I only recently learned of his early death. So sorry to hear this sad news.

Bob and I were good friends at Appel Farm AMCC in NJ when we were in our teens and last met in the early `80s. He was so warm, kind, smart, and I´m sorry we lost touch... adulting. Condolences to family especially. Hylla (Poland) Evans Shalom and Love

Sincere condolences to Bob´s family and friends! We were close at Appel Farm summers since late `60s and were in touch long past that.... Last visit was probably in person in the `80s. He was smart, kind, talented, caring, and gifted as an incredible friend. May he Rest In Peace, knowing he is loved and remembered always.

Bob was a childhood friend in Malvern. Good guy. I went to his Bar Mitzvah. He taught me a lot about respecting, admiring and abiding by your family’s traditions. Wish I had a stone for ‘ya Bob.

I am so sad to hear of Bobs passing. We met as teens at Solebury School in Pennsylvania, where he was a boarding student and i was a day student. He became part of my family, and visited often at our home in New Jersey. He was charming, talented, funny and intelligent, and loved music so much. Sending condolences to his family.

It was a privilege and an honor to have known Bob and to have had him as a member of our family. He could entertain us with his humorous anecdotes. We totally enjoyed him at all of our holiday parties. He was a perfect match for my sister, and they truly complimented each other. They were both very gifted with words and communication was an asset they both mastered. Bob will surly be missed, but lovingly remembered.

Bob was such a great guy, mention his name to anyone and they say how nice he was. Bob was a very talented person, but what I remember most is how his stories made me laugh. I am sorry for your loss,and all of our loss. He will be missed.

I am sorry for your loss. I knew Bob as a hard worker and an artist but I now see that he had many other talents and interests from playing string instruments to the love of cooking. My condolences to Genny and the family.
