Robert Shimshak

Dear Marion, Way after the fact (I just heard this), I wanted to say how sorry I am. It was always so lovely to run into you both at the various fairs. With love and sympathy, Amanda

We send our deepest condolences to the Bob's family. He was so gifted in so many ways, but most of all his knowledge of photography. Jim purchased a beautiful print from Bob of Chinatown SF. Now we will remember Bob and his talent each time we look at it. Jim & Candy Naughton

After leaving Rutgers in 1968 we didn´t see each other until we met practicing medicine in the same hospital in CA. We became close friends again.

Bob was my old friend from my art school days. I was a starving artist and he was a starving medical student. He blessed my life with good humor and I was glad to claim him as a lifetime friend. My prayers of comfort for all his family and friends. Joy and peace, Rev. Cornelia DeLee

We all loved Bob.. remember his tender greetings at the Christmas Party, and his very first question to me. "Do you collect anything?" Dust was not the right answer! Overtime I leaned from him to honor and remember the small things and to make acquaintance with the new- art art and more art. The whimsy was underscored by Marion,Gaia,and all those close to his heart..and Max! Take care you who stood by him at the end. Know that we too are here to stand by you. Love love Candace
