Robert Michael Gratz

We all still think of and chuckle and laugh when thinking of something that Robert said. He was, we all agree, hysterically funny. He gave and gave his help, his heart, his time. I miss him and I know so many of us do. We think of and mention him often. Of the people I know of that we have lost, he is one of the most missed.

Approaching 6 years, and I still miss him every day. Having the ability to work with him, laugh with him, and cry with him for 30 years was a blessing.

Steve and I are so saddened to hear of Robert's death. What a wonderful, sweet, sensitive and funny person he was. We loved his visits to St. Louis and his fun-loving spirit. Our condolences to his family and friends.

Bruce and I were so sorry to hear of Robert's passing. Unfortunately we were in Europe at the time and couldn't attend the funeral. Our hearts and thoughts go out to Sherry, Michael and Lisa and their families. Robert was such a kind and caring person. He was a great attorney helping us multiple times with settlements. He will be missed. Love to you all. Margo and Bruce Fonoroff

Saddened to hear of Robert's passing. On behalf of Phillips Park and myself, I want to extend our sincerest condolences.

I am confident the best of Robert will remain with you and your family, in your memories and times of reflections and that his good influences will provide you with strength during this difficult moment you are facing, as he lives on in eternity.

Blessings!

All of us at Flynn Company adored Robert -- his sense of humor was the best and he will be missed GREATLY by all... God Bless

Our hearts are full, remembering Robert with that twinkle in his eye. We loved that we shared the same wedding day. Our thoughts are with Sherry and the family.

As you, I miss him already. He brought joy to all who knew him. Hugs Jane

So sorry to hear about this, I remember your father's great sense of humor and energy.

Robert was a wonderful man to be around. I admired his wit, sensibilities, and most of all, the stories that he told. I don't think that after 31 years of knowing him I heard the same story twice. He will be sorely missed.

I m sorry to learn of this. May good memories sustain you at this sad time ...

I was thinking of Robert this past weekend, not aware he had passed -- There are those in life who are markers of meaning - those who we all remember - so it is with Robert - Farewell......

May the father of tender mercies comfort you during your time of need. RH

I have no words to express my sadness for such an untimely death. I had no idea he had cancer. Couple years ago he did a closing for me. He was jolly, attentive and a compassionate person. My client had some issues and he dealt with them with such kindness that at the end they were very happy with him. He will be missed. My sincere condolences to his wife Sherry and his kids, his family, friends and his colleagues at Paragon Title.

What a funny, kind and lovely man he was. I will
surely miss Robert.

I think that Robert made us all better, our community a more decent one. His humor and insight always made the right path forward so clear. I am grateful for all of the help he gave me and for how much he always made me laugh. I have no doubt that his humor and spirit will continue on.

He was a special man with a great sense of humor but his greatest decision was to marry Sherry. Condolences to his children and grandchildren. He will be missed.

He was a special man, great sense of humor and a wonderful father and good husband. I am so sorry. I wish the best for Sherry and his children and great grandchildren.

Robert was a joy to be in a room with. He was sharp, witty & used his tremendous humor and timing to keep everyone comfortable. He was a mensch and a genuine and kind man. They don't make them like him anymore. It was a privilege to be Robert's friend. I will always appreciate his kindness and generosity with his time and advice.

We are so sorry for your loss. May our Heavenly Father grant you comfort and tender mercies during this sad time. It is always so painful to lose someone we love so much. Please know that you are in our prayers. With the deepest of sympathies

Always a gentleman.

I know Robert as "Gratz." He was simply "Gratz"-- a gentle, thoughtful, wonderful human being. A mensch. We met at the University of Miami School of Law. He was a year ahead of me. His kindness and huge smiles kept me calm during the stresses of law school. My heartfelt love and sympathy go out to Sherry and Gratz's entire family. Gratz was a unique and special man. Gratz will always be in my heart.

A man that could light up a room with his incredible humor and impeccable timing. He made every one feel comfortable and brought a feeling of caring to all who surrounded him. Robert will be truly missed, but a smile will surely come across my face every time I think of him- a legacy we should be so lucky to have.

With our deepest sympathy to the Gratz family as you remember Robert. Robert was a wonderful human being, an excellent lawyer, dear friend, and colleague. He will be truly missed.

I will miss Robert. He was a wonderful person. So kind, so smart, so funny. What a big loss to our community.

My condolences to the Gratz family. Robert was the consummate professional and I enjoyed working with him over the years on many transactions. He will be sorely missed - Dan Hodin

I met Robert 30 years ago this month and saw him many times over the years at work related functions. While we were not friends outside of the work environment he always made me feel like I was a cherished friend when we were together. I will miss his smile and incredible sense of humor. Until we meet again dear friend - be well.

Robert was warm and gracious, always willing to help answer questions or give counsel to me whenever I was struggling with some intricate detail of real estate law. His sense of humor and bonhomie were well known and loved, as was he. His passing at such a young age is a loss for us all. I send heartfelt condolences to all his family; may your faith and loving memories sustain you in this time of grief and always.

Always the consummate professional, with a great sense of humor

You are not alone during this time of sorrow and pain. May God give your family strength and comfort to help you endure this loss. As you remember your beloved one, the God of peace give you comfort and peace in every way. May you find Strength from the love and care that surrounds you and comfort in the memories that you shared. Please accept my sincere condolences. IS 41:10

My condolences to the family. May the God who supplies endurance and comfort and the fond memories you cherish sustain you in your time of need.
