I just heard of dr singer“s passing from a former coworker. I am so sorry for your loss. I loved working with him for 10 yrs. I always thought that i would want to be as active as he was-from biking to rollerblading to helicopter skiing. An amazing person

I am so saddened. Bob was a wonderful person, absolutely wonderful. He was one of my favorite docents at the Philadelphia Zoo. I am sure others feel the same way. I will miss his response to my asking him how he was: "Living the dream". I will miss him.

Deepest condolences on Dr. Singer's passing. He was my favorite dentist. I so enjoyed listening to his exploits and his quest to meet the penguins in Antarctica. The photo of him in his tux with the penguins was priceless!

Uncle Bobby will be missed by so many. He was a warm, funny, larger than life human who shared a good joke or laugh with so many. He was the heart of our family. May his memory always be a blessing.
