Robert "Beatle Bob" Matonis

My condolences to the family. I knew Bob many many years ago. He was like a coach to myself and my friends for playing sports growing up. The last two years he located myself and my brother and dropped off gifts at our house for Christmas. A kind person who is at peace now.

Our deepest condolences to the family. We pray that God continues to strengthen and comfort the family during this difficult time.

I attend many concerts, of course not as many as Beatle Bob. Several times at concerts if he saw me Bob would come over to talk to me, asking what other concerts I'd seen recently and giving me suggestions about what upcoming shows to attend. One time I even got a free ticket from him as he had an extra one for a major show at Riverport. I will certainly miss not seeing St. Louis's biggest music fan at concerts. RIP Bob.

"Beatle Bob" sounded like a fun guy. Dancing and rock-n-roll, what better way to spend an evening. God Bless "Beatle Bob", and comfort all those who knew and loved him.
