Bob and I were roommates at EIU we had great fun. Playing pool in bars, watching sports, debating who the best college hoops team and he almost made me a Buffalo fan ! We would rattle off sports stats like nothing. Our team won the EIU trivia on year because he somehow knew some arcane olympic swimmers stats. Really can't believe its been 6 years. I hope his family knows how much of a fun a guy he was. Wicked smart and funny. Missed by many. Godspeed

I knew about Bob's passing at the time, but I think that even with the passage of 2 years, I haven't forgotten about him at all. I played music with Bob in Gone Hazel in Toronto and amongst many things, he was an extremely talented songwriter, singer and bass player and a friend. I am lucky to have some of his music still with me as well as the memories of the fun we had writing, recording and playing together. I write this today because I was playing one of his songs very recently and was again struck by his talent. His writing always showed a depth of emotion and thoughtfulness that I only wish I could achieve. I miss you Bob, and thanks for the great songs!

Rest in peace my old friend. You were a great inspiration and like a mentor to me. The years in Yardshaker are some of the best in my life and you taught me so much about music and perhaps more importantly about life. My most deepest condolences to the family.

When you sit opposite someone at work every day for a couple of years you get to know what they're passionate about. I have many memories of Robert waxing lyrically about music, sport, and above all, little Marco. My condolences to all his family.

Our bond over being forced to take piano lessons in third grade and a love of cartooning forged a friendship for life. I admired Bob's immense courage throughout his second cancer battle and his devotion to Marco. So sorry I missed what should have been our last gig together. We'll play again, I'm sure. Condolences to Hanne, Marco, Sharon, Craig and the rest of the family.

February 26, 2015

Sharon, Craig, Bill, Janice, Julie and all the Cellini family: We were shocked and saddened to learn of Bob's untimely death. His talent and loving nature will surely be missed. Please accept our sincere condolence.

It's with a deep sense of loss that I learn of the death of such a young vibrant "friend". I didn't know Robert Jr. well, but always was a friend of his father, Bobby (to me), his uncle Bill, Aunt Janis and his cousin Frank. They were always so close, supportive and loyal. I even knew and admired his Grandfather, Bill. Your own current family sounds great. Sorry I couldn't know them too.
