Dave and I are so sorry to hear of Bob's passing. We just found out today and are stunned and very sad. We will have only happy memories of Bob (Kweeova!). We are happy to have plenty of videos to remember Bob at our New Lenox home in the early 90's, at our annual New Year's Eve bashes and 4th of July. But my favorite memory of all was when Bob took me to a Bull's game and we sat in the press box. He knew how big of a BJ Armstrong fan I was. We waited sooo long for the players to come out of the locker room so I can get BJ's autograph. Bob laughed when I was upset that the "only" autograph I got was Michael Jordans'. He just shook his head in disbelief. I love you for that memory Bob! My deepest sympathy to his family for losing such a warm, kind-hearted man. He will be missed terribly but I know there will be alot of laughter up in heaven.

Our prayers are for the peace and comfort that Bob's family needs during this storm; may your hearts be healed.
I had the privilege and honor of Bob standing up in my wedding and helping to make it a very special St. Patrick's Day.
I often think of the "old days" when Bob and I would jam for hours on the guitar. (I must have shown him the lick from Metallica's "One" a thousand times before he nailed it!) Great job slim!
"Suuuuccckkkaaa!" Awwwwww...freak out!...as he loved to say! and then a warm smile with that trademark chuckle....light a Newport...we'll work on the "Dont Fear the Reaper" lick tomorrow.
It was nice to see Bob at Mike's 40th.
We'll jam again my brother.

Because of you I met Mike. I have may fond memories of all of us having a good time together. We were lucky to have you stand up in our wedding. Little Michael will always remember riding in your transam. To him that was the fastest car in the whole world. he still refers to you as "Race car Bob". He even took the time to fly in for MIke;s 40th birthday, a day Mike will never forget. Carol, Mike and I are very sorry for your loss. Bob was a wonderful person and great friend. Mike, Deb. Mikey and Nick (708-301-8523).
Thanks for all of the memories

Bob was such an amazingly kind and generous of heart friend. Always with a smile that would light up the room. I will miss him with all my heart and look back on the days with the Johnny Cake gang with especially warm memories of great hugs and smiles from Bob.

No farewell words were spoken,
no time to say goodbye,
You were gone before we knew it,
and only God knows why...

Who else knew every line to every brady bunch episode? And how about the bulls games he took us to while he worked in the press box! He loved kids so much, especially his nephews that he spoke of non-stop with pride and of course, he always had a smile that warmed your heart. He and Al were roommates back in the day, and he stood by us as we married. Bob opened his condo up to our family while we waited for our home to be built, and our best vacation ever was with bob in disney and universal studios, he made it so much fun for us and the kids. He let us stay at his beautiful naples home and treated us like royality. You made some happy times for us Bob, thanks, and we love and will miss you, you will always have a piece of our hearts, I can hear your laughter, that chuckle
