Bob was not only a great musician but a fun-loving guy as well. He always had a smile and was ready with a joke or two. His antics on stage continually kept us laughing.

Bob played with many great bands over the years. Too many to mention all of them but the best known was Louie Bashell's band. He occasionally worked with the Barbara & the Karousels and Ronnie K's Phase II bands which Barbara and I were proud to have him on stage with us.

He will be missed by the musical community as well as family and friends. May he now play in that great band in heaven.

Our deepest sympathy and prayers
are with Bob's family.
