Not sure what to say?

It was a privilege to work with and learn from Bob. He will always be fondly remembered.

Two years after Bob's passing, it is nice to get prompted to think about him for a moment, and all that he brought to his family and friends. He is greatly missed, but his legacy and persona live on in our thoughts.

Please accept my sincere condolences. Bob was a great boss, mentor and one of those rare, truly warm leaders.

Bob was my mentor. As an independent TV Producer he paved roads for me and promoted my science series. Just last year he agreed to come to L.A. and pitch! His modest droll sales strategy epitomized the effective low key approach. He was wise and supportive and kind and will be truly missed. My regards and sympathy to his whole family.

We look back fondly on our friendship with Bob and Sylvia. Our sincerest condolences to Sylvia and family.

So sorry to read about Bob's death. Haven't seen him in years, but when I was a young pup in the advertising agency business, Bob was my hero. The agency was Doherty, Clifford, Steers & Shenfield....later NH &S. I was in the Executive Training Program which meant I was a mail boy. Bob treated all of us so well. He learned our names. He answered questions. He gave us guidance. And....he had the best sense of humor. RIP, Bob, and thanks for everything you did to help us on our way.

As extended family in-laws we had the chance to get to know and love Bob. He had a passion for life that few have shown, and his love of family was universally applauded. Although we didn't see him often, it was usually at big events and holidays, he was quite enjoyable to just talk to - he was genuine and interested in you and the discussion. He accomplished much in his life, and his pride in his family was evident in everything he did. We will miss you Bob, and will carry on your spirit.
