I was deeply saddened when I heard the news of Bob´s passing. We were classmates in Medical School at UMDNJ-SOM. It seems like only yesterday we were all together trying to find our way. I will always remember Bob as a soft spoken, kind hearted, steadying force. My prayers go out to his family... "Min haShamayim Tenuhamu"

So sorry to hear this sad news. Bob and I were classmates and friends at what was then UMDNJ-School of Osteopathic Medicine with years 1-2 at Rutgers Busch Campus in Piscataway and years 3-4 in Stratford. His background in plant pharmacology excited my interest in herbal medicine, which I'm still practicing in Lewisburg, West Virginia and Lexington, Virginia. Rest in peace old friend and colleague!

I will always remember all of the times Bob shared so much of himself in the fifteen years I´ve known him. He had an appreciation and love for life that can only come from a kind kind soul. Praying for the strength of his family and loved ones. He´ll be with you!

As a friend, Bob always made us feel good and comfortable. I know many will talk about his laughter but you can't say enough about it. His easy laugh was the best. We didn't think this day would come so soon and we miss him.

I met Bob and Luanne 27 years ago, when my family and I moved to Baltimore. Our children were the same age and immediately adored each other, and then, so did we all.
Bob was one of the most good-natured people I have ever met. Generous with his time and spirit, his infectious laughter will always stay in my heart. I will miss him dearly.

My heart goes to Luanne and all of the family. I am grateful that I had some time with Bob and you walking on the beach with the pups. May the beach be a place of solace and healing for you. With love Kathy

To Luanne and family
May God wrap you in His arms and comfort you.
I recently lost my husband at the end of August. Bobby was always so nice to me, and funny. He and my twin brother, David were good friends. We all grew up in Montpelier together. The last time I saw him was at a high school reunion a couple of years ago. He covered his name badge and asked me if I knew who he was. I didn´t ...and then when I realized who he was he was so handsome but still the same kind, sweet...Bobby

And now I have the blues. I met Luanne at the Y in Rehoboth, and in many conversations we found we had so many similar interests, including music. We often would attend shows for our local blues artists. Bob´s smile and thrill of being in the groove always shone. We would see him on the boardwalk, at the Y, and around town. I find it hard to believe that his body has left us. What a fine life and great legacy of love, service, and family. May his memory be a blessing.

I will miss Bob´s greeting and warm smile as we so often met on Rehoboth Beach with our beloved four legged friends. I admired Bob as a pensive,thoughtful friend who was always patient and wise when responding to my stories. He gave me a gift.... to better understand the peace that comes with silence. I miss you, Bob. Mollie Ingram
