I was very saddened to learn of the death of one of my favorite high school friends. I remember when we were kids constantly battling each other in the game of ping pong in the basement of his home. He always beat me. I recall all those AZA meetings. And I went to his wedding. Bobby loved to play golf. His mother Jenny and my aunt Laura were sisters so we had a loose family connection. My sincere condolences on the death of my old childhood buddy. Part of me just died too.

Dear Gail,
Bob was a dear friend and business associate for the last fifteen years. No matter how our conversations began we always ended up talking about golf. I will miss his easy going personality and joviality and especially I will miss our spirited conversations.
You and Bob are in our thoughts and prayers.

I graduated high school with Bob. I think the last time I saw him, was at a high school reunion. To bad I didn't know Bob was living part time in Venice. My wife and I moved here about 10 years ago full time. My prayers and thoughts are with you.

I remember Bobby as the advisor to the AZA chapter at Temple Emanuel in the late '50's. Always very helpful and an excellent and thoughtful advisor--a real mensch.

Dear Harold and family:
Despite being far removed from each other for years, save an occassional phone call, my thoughts of Bob are of a gentleman and a gentle man. His fine sense of humor and generous manner was always apparent. My heartfelt sympathies to his family on their loss. He will be missed by all who knew him.
