Not sure what to say?

Sometimes you come across people in your life and you do not realize quite how influential they are until later on. Bob was one of those people to me. I worked for Bob during my college breaks from around 1998-2000. I didn't realize how much I learned from him at that time. He believed in me, and taught me how to show the strength that he knew I had. Without realizing it, he was one of my mentors. I saw him as someone who seized every moment, and tried to make those in his presence feel...

Bob and I were good friends during the years I recruited talent for him at Price Communications. He was an ornery type gent with a heart of gold. Bob was one on the most intelligent, interesting, and "teacher like" older friends I ever had. Bob taught me to do my job better. He made me laugh... we'd talk for hours. My condolences to his kids and grandchildren, He loved you all very much. R.i.p. Bob, you will always be remembered in my heart.

So very sorry to hear about his loss. Bob was truly unforgettable and his advice to me has been invaluable. My condolences.

I moved to NYC, from SF, in the summer of 1965 and was hired by Bob Price to handle his 3 radio stations while he was running Lindsey's campaign. It was the opportunity of a life time. The office was at 500 5th Ave, the 52nd floor. I did the accounting, (by hand back then), and when he became the Deputy Mayor, he sold ASI Communications and I went with it to the new owner. Mr. Price gave me the opportunity to be The Accountant, and I have been working in this profession since then. He gave...

Dear Eileen and Steven, I just read about your father's passing in The Jewish Week. He was always so generous and kind to me when I babysat for you. My deepest condolences to you and your family.

I worked for Bob at Price Communications in Rockefeller Center from 1987-1990. He was one of the most significant figures in my career and taught me everything I needed to know about running all aspects of a business as he dispatched me across the country to check on our TV stations and radio stations in Corpus Christie, Texas, Grand Rapids, Michigan and Ft Wayne, Indiana among many others. I have many favorite Bob quotes including "I don't invest anywhere the State Police can't drive to!" I...

I remember Bob admiringly from our days together at NYU's University Heights campus, especially his vigorous interventions in Professor Flexner's economics class, where he challenged the instructor's favorable descriptions of socialism. Bob was persuasive enough to get me to sign up with the campus Republican club. Even then it was clear Bob was destined for great things. RIP

I don't know if you remember my father Dr. Hyman Zuckerman who we lost more than 34 years ago, but I certainly remember yours. What a wonderful man and such a special friend to my Dad. I was so sad to hear of his passing. Our warmest thoughts are with you.

Eileen, So sorry to hear of your father passing.Such a wonderful man.
