Dear Leone Family: I just heard of the loss of our beloved Bob. I'm so sorry to hear of this. He was a great man. I worked with him for a few years at the Arch Street Building while he was with Wolf Block. My heart and prayers go out to the family. He truly was a beautiful person in and out.

Karen and family,
I am very sorry to hear of your loss. I worked with Bob at WolfBlock like so many others who all feel the same about Bob. Bob always had time to say hi. He was such a good spirit to be around. It was obvious that he was overflowing with love for his family and I hope it brings you some peace to know how much love you and your family brought into his life. May god bless you all.

Karen and Roya,
What can I say about my friend Bob, that hasn't been said by others or that you don't already know. Bob was a man of loyalty and integrity, dedicated to his friends and devoted to his family, his smile would light up a room when he talked about the ladies in his life ( Karen, Roya and his grand daughters). I will cherish every day of the 25 years that we were friends. Now when I hear thunder during a rainstorm, I will just think that Bob is moving some file cabinets in heaven or rearranging a room. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

I remember Bob "hot lips" Leone as a person who took his job and his life seriously. Bob, I'm glad you got to know the joy of a happy family life. The joys of parenthood and grandparenthood. Your WolfBlock family salutes you and we carry a piece of your heart inside our hearts. Till we meet again...

My deepest sympathies for your loss. Bob was a great guy. When Bob was promoted to head of Facilities, I was his first move from outside the firm. I can still see Bob standing in my old office wearing his Smerf suit. This was over 38 years ago. During this time we kidded each other often especially about his suit. I remember that Bob would stop by in our cafe at WB and sit for a few minutes. He always had great stories of his family and his Disney trips. RIP

How do you think of Wolf Block and not think of Bob. His "can do" spirit will be missed, but not forgotten. We were foundly known as Doctor Bob & Mr.Reg, The "Dirtbusters" and my persoal favorite "Miami Vice". We worked together in Maintenance, then later as Managers. These are the fond memories that I will cherish and may his loved ones find comfort in knowing that Bob has truly left a great legacy.

I'm so very sorry to hear of Bob's passing. He was such a fixture at Wolf Block for many years. Everyone in the firm knew Bob. My thoughts and prayers are with his wife, daughter and grandchilddren. May God strenthen and comfort his entire family now and in the difficult days ahead. He will truly be missed and may he rest in peace.

No words can express how i feel at this moment. I've known Bob since '84 and learned a lot from him. He was my boss, partner in crime, but most of all a great friend. I have found memories of our Wolf Block days as "The Dirtbusters", Doctor Bob & Mr. Reg and Miami Vice.
It's funny how the most unlikely people become the most unlikely friends. I will always cherish my time spent with Bob as I know his spirit will live on forever in all of us.

So sad to hear that Bob Leone passed away. I've known Bob my entire Wolf Block life (1989 through the dissolution). He was a good man. My thoughts and prayers are with Bob's Family.

Dear Karen, Roya and Beautiful Granddaughters ~ Robert (as I always called him) would often remark at the great joy which you brought to his life, especially the wonders of grandfatherhood. I cannot believe his vibrant spirit has passed on. I pray that his angel wings embrace you and give you strength through these difficult days. We will miss him sorely...he was a terrific friend and member of our WolfBlock family.

My condolences to Bob's family. I was so sad to learn of his passing. We worked together for many years at Wolf Block. He was a great guy with a wonderful sense of humor. He could always find a way to get things done. He will be missed.

technically, i was bob's boss at wolf block for five years but he taught me more than i taught him. i had tremendous respect for his loyalty and sense of fairness, and i remember that we handled the stressful times by finding something to laugh about. i think of him often and smile. god bless.

I was so shocked to learn of Bob's passing. What a great guy. He always had a "can do" attitude - never said no to anyone - and was a pleasure to work with. I only worked with him for about 5 years at WolfBlock, but he made an impression on everyone he came across. May he rest in peace, and I pray your family takes comfort in knowing how much he was appreciated.

Dear Karen, Roya and family:
I was shocked to learn of Bob's passing and I wanted to express my sympathies on the death of an old friend and former co-worker. Bob's work ethic, combined with his sense of humor, was an integral part of the work day and which made working with him a joy. If you wanted something done right, you went to Bob. He will be sadly missed by those of us who were blessed to have worked with Bob at Wolf Block for so many years. Bob, rest in peace.

Karen and Family, I'm so sorry for your loss. Bob was a great person. I've known Bob for many years since we were a part of the Wolf Block family. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Think of all the good memories you have shared and Bob will always be alive through these memories.

Dear Karen and Family,
I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your dear husband, Bob. I worked with Bob at WolfBlock and he was always so nice. You and your family are in my prayers.

My deepest condolences to Bob's family. I was saddened to hear of his death. His family gave him so much pleasure. The kindest compliment he gave me was when I encountered him at a local Deli and was embarrased that he saw me without makeup and he responded "You do not need make-up". He will not be forgotten.

Was there anything Bob couldn't do? Bartender, hairdresser, hockey player, furniture mover, movie critic, fixing and solving everyone's maintenance problems and the person with the most organized desk I ever met. He was devoted to Karen, Roya and his grandchildren, sharing stories in work of their life together and their Disney trips. Our hearts are broken that God wanted you before your time. You are missed, my Friend.
