Gus - Gus, you will truly be missed by many! I first met you when you were living on Michigan Street with Hesh and my husband of over 40 years, Rick. I remember Cruiser and the puppies, long philosophical conversations, peanut butter & honey toast, jamming, singing & dancing, and the very long winter when we were snowed in for a “good” time. Your passion for music and life I will always remember. I howl at the moon with you brother!

Bob’s beautiful soul resonated throughout his music and poetry. I wish we all could see and hear the world as he did. Peace.

Besides being one of the most talented keyboard players in West Michigan, Bob was one of nicest persons I have ever met. He recorded an album in my studio back in the 80s when he was with his band "Turning Point." And after that he worked on many other projects as a studio musician.
I am very saddened by this news, and I offer my heartfelt condolences to his family and friends.

I had the biggest crush on Bob in 7th grade because a cemetery wall fell down and he was part of discovering it. I think he might have had his name in the newspaper! To me he was a hero! He was fun to dance with at the junior high dances and was always happy and up beat! We have touched base several times over the years. He was a wonderful musician and friend! ❤
