Bob was an outstanding musician along with his talent as a pianist. I had the pleasure of making lots of music with Bob over the years and enjoyed his playing and his friendship. He will be missed!
Rest well shipmate and save me a seat in the band.

Bob was a great neighbor to us for over 25 years. If we didn't know how to fix something we would say to each other "let's ask Bob!" and he would always know. You might think that Bob was a "know-it-all" but the funny thing is that he did know-it-all. Bob was generous and funny and we will miss his stories very much.
