Bob's undeniable warmth, sincerity, passion, and energy made our friendship and time together in Dirty Larry such a wonderful experience. His love for music, his emotional depth, and deeply profound empathy are the things I will remember the most. I'm sorry I hadn't been closer to Bob in recent years -- I love him and will remember him fondly.

Dearest BOB,
I have only had the pleasure of knowing you a few short months. In that time that I got to know you I saw the beautiful soul you have, that I know will live on in many. Your smile was contagious and kindness not forgotten. You were a good friend and coworker to many. Sometimes life makes little sense and the older we get the less sense it makes sometimes. I don't know why god called you soo soon but I do know that you will definitely not be forgotten. A meaningful life has little to do with money and wealth but how you portray yourself and share yourself and intellect to others and you sir have definitely impacted so many in such a positive way. I will surely miss you "yelling" Fasy (the correct way) when you saw me at work. Words cannot express my deepest condolences to your family and loved ones. I hope you found some peace my friend. My prayers are with you and your family in this time. Rest easy buddy.

I'm so sorry to hear about Bob. My time at ASD was very brief, however, he was a great trainer and had a sense of humor that was similar to my own. My condolences go out to his family, friends, and the entire staff at ASD, who I'm sure are hurting from this loss. He was taken far too soon. Rest in peace Bob <3

Fran and Gary, My heart is so sad for your loss. When I think of Bob, I smile and remember him being an integral part of the amazing "laser trombones" at ETR. I hear the laughter of friends and music and the memory fills me with love. How blessed I was to briefly be a part of Bob's life. I will hold you and your family closely in prayer. May the Lord give you peace.

Hey Bob. I still cant believe that you're really not here with us anymore. It still feels like a dream to me. You were such an amazing person inside and out. Always had a smile on your face and could light up any room. Always had a way of bringing people together and you were always the life of the party. Things will never be the same without you and I'm so sorry that your life ended so soon. i'll miss seeing you at work, always tapping on my shoulder and cheering me up. I'll miss our Mario Kart nights all four of us had after a long day at work and going out together, but most importantly I'll miss you. ❤ My love and prayers go out to your family.
