In addition to his wife of 20 years, Susan Dowell-Rothschild, Bob is survived by sons, Jason Dowell (Lorna), Christopher Dowell (Shelly), Gregory Dowell (Laura), Matthew Dowell (Nicole), Jonathan Dowell (Allie), Robert Rothschild and Travis Rothschild (Lindsay).  Cherished grandfather of Kaitlynn, Sophie, Zachary, Parker, Graham, Connor, and Ridge, and 1 on the way.  Beloved brother of Pam Cicerello (Roy), Margaret Alpert (Mickey), Richard Rothschild (Barbara), Cynthia Rothschild and the late Randy Rothschild.  Also survived by many loving nieces, nephews, and friends. 

Bob’s love for his family can be best summed up from a letter he wrote to each of his grandchildren stating “I may not be here for the rest of your life, but I will love you for the rest of mine.”
