My sympathy goes out to the entire Zack family. Knew Bob and his sister Debbie for many years going back to the 70’s. He was a great dancer and so was Debbie. Ironically he only lived a few blocks from my house in Whitehall and I would run into him once in a while. I do know my wife knew his wife and his daughter Janelle when she was a student at Whitehall High School and my wife Donna worked in the counseling office. May in forever do his disco moves in heaven.

I met Bob at the Oar House in Allentown way back in 1974. Disco was the big thing back then, and he was the best dancer on the floor bar none . I am so sorry for your loss. Sleep well my friend.

To the Family and Friends of Bobby...
While we did not get together nearly enough I hope you know you were in our thoughts. We are so sorry to hear of your loss. Bobby was a great guy! From the pictures posted he had a beautiful family. I am so glad he could share in the celebration of the weddings. That must have full filled one of his dreams before he left. Please know that we are thinking of you during this time. Hugs and Prayers being sent to All... If I could sit across the porch from God - I would thank Him for sharing You.
and... Bobby - after all these years we did not realize your name was John! One day we will all be at that family reunion! Rest in peace...until we meet again... Love you All Pat, Connie, Butch, Lucille, Mary, Warren and Darlene

Janelle and family I am so sorry for your loss. I know this has been a roller coaster of a year for you all. I am glad he was able to make your recent wedding which I am sure despite everything your wedding and that dance you two had was the perfect ending to his life still gone way too soon but I know how happy he was to be able to be apart of that wedding and that he’s talking about the wedding to everyone he just reunited with in Heaven.

Bob, words cannot express what I’m feeling right now. You were my big brother. I look back on a lot of cherished memories that we have. I know you are at peace with no more pain. May God wrap you in his arms and welcome you as one of his best angels. Mom and dad are waiting for you. REST IN PEACE.
Love you and miss you bro.
