Thank you, Robert, for everything. Words can never express my heartfelt warmth and sadness. I will always remember the insight you taught me and the fun we had at the casinos! It's because of you that I know you're where you're supposed to be on the next phase of your soul's journey. I still can't believe that you're gone.
Much love,
Chris

Had recently learned of the passing of the one true gift this world had been blessed with. He was more than a psychic but a true angel who genuinely cared for all people. Sincerely hope the many of us were fortunate enough to be guided by him through the years, carry-on his compassion and wisdom. Love you too, Robert.

I met Robert in New Milford in the early 1970's at the Foundation. His words and teachings have stayed with me all these years. Andrea, Yvonne and Joy were all so very young then. RIP

I was in Robert's Master class on 2 west 42nd st. in NYC in 1977 and attended sessions at Lake George, N.Y. Over the years I had many insightful readings, both in person (N.Y & Sedona)and over the phone in (Fla & N.Y.) He was a man who appreciated life (esp after his heart attack) and was compassionate and wise. I remember his winning big at casinos. I will surely miss him and I hope Andrea can fill his big shoes. Rest in Peace Robert.

Dear Andrea, Yvonne, Joy and Marina,
We can't express enough sympathy for your loss. Bob was such an integral part of all of our lives. It is difficult to realize what life will be without him.
Bob was a great friend, teacher and mentor to us. It is our hope that his friends and students will continue to honor him and respect his teachings. Hopefully, his spirit can fill the void we are all feeling.
We love you, always,
John and Chris
