ROBERT ROSEN Obituary

ROSEN--Robert L. It is with great sorrow that we share, our father, Robert Lewis Rosen, 88, passed away peacefully on May 30, 2024. As was his wish, he was in his beloved Rhode Island home, surrounded by close family and friends as well as his best buddy, his dog Chooch. Bob, as he preferred to be called, was a GOOD MAN, filled with stories from his diverse and successful professional life. In 1961, he established RLR Associates, an agency committed to the representation of sports commentators, television directors, producers as well as writers and original astronauts. In addition to his extensive work within sports television, he and RLR Associates developed and produced animated television specials including Puff the Magic Dragon, Strawberry Shortcake, and The Little Rascals. Bob will be remembered for his powerful presence, his love of story telling, his Bloody Marys and mostly, the love he had for his children and his wife of more than 50 years, Ann Ellen Rosen. Together forever, as Bob used to say. He and Ann Ellen are now back together again.
