I was heartbroken to hear of Bob´s passing. I worked as his legal assistant at Sills Cummis for almost 7 years and he was by far the nicest, most dedicated and knowledgeable attorney I´ve ever worked with. I remember he would refer to his computer as the machine "this machine is not working" :) It was truly a joy to work with him. I have not come across another attorney so easy to work with in all my years in the legal field than Bob (I knew him as Bob). He was truly one of a kind. My sincerest condolences go out to his wife, Mary Lou and his family.

We are deeply affected and are very sad to hear about Roberts passing and can imagine what you, Mary Lou are going through.
We lost our son Lorenz in March with almost 25 years. So I know what I speak about.
Dear Mary Lou and family, we share your mourn silent prayer.

My recent and brief introduction to Ted was at his home in Maplewood as he along with his wife, Mary Lou, so graciously hosted what they called a pre prom event prior to our 50th high school reunion. My deepest sympathies to Ted's wife and my high school classmate, Mary Lou (Nolan) and family.
Even at that abbreviated encounter I felt the warmth, positive energy and genuine good will of this accomplished man.
His open house and open heart will not be forgotten and fond memories for Immaculate Conception High School Class of 69 will live in in our spirits.

Bob handled some tax matters for me over the past year or two. He was amazing. The most knowledgeable. The nicest gentlemen. I am not rich and my issues were small compared to his mega law clients. but Bob treated me like I was his only client, with respect, attention, and diligent progress.

I was so so sorry to just hear of him passing away from Stanley Epstein yesterday. Stan referred to him as the best of the best and a lawyer's lawyer.

My heart and best wishes go out to his family.I know he will be very very missed.

a loved one

It is with a heavy heart that we offer our sincerest condolences to his wife, MaryLou and their children and grand children and to his parents, Ted and Bernadette Alter and to extended family members and friends. Robert will always be remembered in a special way as I lived with them for two years after my mom passed when I was 14 years old. Robert was 8 years old then and I considered him a little brother to me. I recall him practicing on his guitar after taking his first lesson. He soon realized that playing sports was his real interest. The news of his passing was not only unexpected but a shock to so many. May you find peace in Heaven as you watch over your family. I know you be with them in spirit at all their important moments in their lives. We will miss you and will forever remember you in our prayers. Your cousin, Maresa and Pete Harrington and family.
