I was deeply saddened to learn of Bob's passing. My late husband John L. and Bob had many laughs together. My heart goes out to Todd, Eric and Jeannie. I know that all those Catalina guys that have gone on before Bob were there to welcome him.

I am so sad to hear of Bob's passing. What a wonderful man who was full of life. He always had a smile on his face and was such a kind person. I wish for his family peace of heart and soul.

Bob was one of my very favorites at Catalina. He was tall, good looking, fun loving and could dance besides. Kinda like my old man. I'm sure they are talking about old times and have already played a round or two. I was fortunate to call him my friend. To help Eric and Todd remember who I am, I'm the old lady you spent an afternoon with one year when you came to convention with your Dad. My best to you both and God Bless

When I think of Bob, I see his smile, hear his laugh and love his warmth. I was so blessed to attend his service, to see the love from his family and friends. In his sons eyes he was a giant and to all others he was a giant. He will be missed, but always be in our hearts. I see him in his sons, their eyes and their warmth. Peace to Bob and his family.

I was stunned and taken aback by the news of Bob's death. Zalk was my friend. Beyond that there were 2 occasions, 1 business, 1 more personal, where Bob went above and beyond. I have never forgotten those 2 occasions. He was special. I have to admit that I cried with him on those 2 earlier occasions and cried for him when I heard the recent news. Rest easy Zalk and God bless Todd, Eric and Jeannie

One of the first people to befriend me as I began a new job at Catalina was Bob. His marvelous sense of humor and compassionate outlook were qualities seldom found in a person as talented as he was. I, too, am saddened by his death and regret not being able to attend his funeral. God bless you Bob. May you rest in peace.

I am saddened to read of the passing of Bob Zalkins. Bob and I spent many mornings and evenings together talking and battling the same challenges. Bob was always there..to help others..if only to listen..to laugh and to cry...Bob talked about his family and was very proud of both of his sons...on the golf course...in meetings...at the races..Bob Zalkins was kind...caring..and truly a good friend...and I shall miss him.
