To Bob's Family,
So sorry to hear about the passsing of your Loved one.
I worked with Bob over the Boulevard in maintenance. He was a good person and smart technician. Seemed to get all the tough jobs!
I had to laugh when I used to see his "lunch bag" and Oreo cookies!

My earliest recollection of Bob was all of us neighborhood teenagers on Rockland and Barbara Streets in and around Edgeboro School congregating at Bob's basement electrical shop. Bob was a very sincere and kind person and one of my best friends. I could always count on bob for his help- whether it be on helping with the electronics or my Science fair project- taking me to the prom when previous plans had not worked out- or just talking, when his family took myself and siblings to wildwood with the Pilzer family. Dolores and children all was so sorry to hear about Bob's death. He truly was a very kind and special person and was one of the reasons being a teenager was a lot of fun.
With a lot of good memories of Bob and the entire Pilzer family, Sincerely,
Dorothy Hersh
