Not sure what to say?

Bob, I knew you were talented, however, I did not know to what extent until sadly I read your obituary. I am honored to have worked beside you for years storytown / The Great escape I am looking right now at 2 trivets you made that I shall forever treasure. May your talented soul rest in peace. Linda

Dearest Robert, I did not know you crossed over almost 7 years ago. We were Good friends and I was a subject for this piece of Artwork Robert painted of me. It's an original and it's been hanging in my home for over 35 years. I remember when Robert Ran up to me on the street, complete strangers at that moment and he started circling me as if I was his prey.. lol. After sizing me up and down he asked If I would be interested in having him paint a nude portrait. The rest is history, as you...

I'm so sorry my friend Bob Vorreyer. I have been looking for you for a while and only now found this page. Bob was so talented, so friendly and the best sense of humor. My father also was very fond of him. I'm just sorry I didn't locate Bob prior to his passing. What a man and what an artist.

I modeled for Robert several times. He was my friend and mentor like no other. He worked with me teaching me techniques as I was learning artwork that I love to do so much. I was his model and student. A very dear dear friend I will never forget. Pain in my heart whenever I think of our loss. Johnny Zoppe

I got to know Robert through the Glens Falls New York YMCA. Even though its been decades I remember him in the men's fitness center where you new when Robert was there. Well anyway Robert use to hang one of his many art works in the fitness center and we all felt honored to have his art displayed. Not everybody was honored because Robert was asked to remove one of his art works because of its content, being the bigmouth I am I stood up for him about two days later Robert shows up at my office...

I was a co-worker with bob at CRW (storytown) he will be missed by many, rest in peace freind.

Robert, your art provides us with so much enjoyment. Your talent was so varied and creative. You also provided Kate and Sarah with magical memories at Christmas time when we went to see the Nutcracker you did the scenery for in Schenectady, NY. Letting them sit on Clara's throne, meeting the horse who had a guest appearance on stage each year as well as introducing them to NYC Ballet stars. You will be greatly missed for the joy you brought us and the many stories about your wonderful...
