I cant count the number of times people have commented on the brilliance my uncle Bob displayed in the court room for his clients. He was a master at communication & reading his audience. And he could move peoples perceptions from the street to the elite. He is missed by so many but never forgotten.

We miss you uncle Bob. Your quick witty comments, wisdom, and charisma. When you walked in a room it lit up and so did everyone around you.

I miss my uncle who at times was larger then life. Uncle Bob walked into a room & lit it up. He loved his children & was extremely loyal to his friends. Even if it was hard to do at times. He is missed but remembered & revered as one of the most gifted criminal attorneys Philadelphia ever had in his day.

In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Dear Scott, Kim & Family,
Bobby is sadly missed but will live forever in my heart. Those 15 years working with him and knowing your family were the best! Bobby was a special person who taught me alot about life, and I feel blessed to have known him. He loved his family more than anything and would hope that you be as strong as he was when facing life's adversities. May he rest in peace as he meets up again with Ed in heaven.

My sincere sympathies to the family of Bobby Simone. I remember Bobby from the 80's and worked for him occasionally when his former secretary BJ was unavailable. He was a pleasant man, had a great attitude and very smart. He will surely be missed by his peers in the legal community.

Rest in Peace. You are a Philly Icon. Water Ice, pretzels, Cheesesteaks and Bobby Simone. Your headlines made reading the Inquirer and Daily News worth the price.
