RIP My friend, Gone way too soon

I want to thank Coach for the care and support he gave my son Nick. Coach Schiff was a gentleman and someone I respected a great deal

Since his passing in 2015, this time of year always delivers a tinge of sadness for me, as Bob and I were close neighbors and friends throughout our lives. Yet, this time of year also allows me to reflect on our past relationship and smile when remembering our love of sports and all the genuinely good times we had together with our families! Bob was always a first class guy and married Margie, a first class woman!

In loving memory of a wonderful person and classmate, Great memories of growing up in Wharton and knowing your Dad, Mary, Randy

Five years have gone by since Bob’s passing but very often, the memories of our close friendship resonate in my mind. The laughs, time playing sports in the neighborhood in Wharton, and close family ties all are memories etched in my mind, now and forever more! Bob is missed by many but thankfully, remembering his spirit and love of life always brings a smile to all who knew him well!

Best friend growing up and into adulthood and later life. Miss always Bob's basic "down to earth" approach to life. Lots of baseball and sports memories and good times with him, Margie, and Carol. Bob worked in a "white collar" world but was always a "blue collar" guy at heart! Fond memories will last a lifetime!

Our deepest sympathy to the Schiffner family. Our son Chris played for Bob when he was a coach for the Mendham High School baseball team. He was a kind and supportive coach and we appreciated all he did for the boys. God bless. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

May you find solace in the fact that Bob was so respected and admired during his long and successful career - both as a professional and as a man. I had the honor to work with and for Bob at Nabisco - and it was so rewarding and fun. I will never forget when Bob and six other Nabisco Finance guys piled into my mini-van for a trip to a Yankee game. Bob was riding shotgun - always a leader - and showing me the shortcut out of the Stadium.
I am very sorry for you loss. He was special.

So sorry to hear of your loss! My prayers are with your family . Jean Ann Strillacci
