My memory of Bob was as a little girl, I would watch him play the piano at Grandma's house without any sheet music. He will be missed, cousin Nadine...

My best memory of Bob was when he
would sit down at the Piano at our Grandmothers house and play without any
music, I was just two years younger but
really impressed. And always very handsome. May he rest in Peace.

Dear Scott & Craig: Mel Laub & I were your father's first cousins. We are the children of his Aunt Shirley Eichenbaum Laub, his father, Rudy's sister.

We always enjoyed spending time with him. The last time we saw him was at Mel's birthday party in Lake Tahoe in 2009.

May you have much comfort from the love of family and friends and happy memories of your time with your father. We hope you feel grateful for the time you had with him.

Sincerely,

Your second cousins, Mel Laub & Arline June Laub Gordon:)

Well, Bobby I will miss you quite a bit. You are still one of my very favorite cousins. I wish we were closer in age and and could have spent more time together. Your stories of your Dad and you and Ralphie were classic. Thanks for having been there and you will always live just like you were in my memory. For me you don't die until I do. For those he left behind Bob was one irreplaceable person.Dot and kids, you have my condolences. All my love, Cousin Paul

Please enter a condolence here. I remember Bob and Ralph taking me to the El Rey Theater to see the "Last of the Texas Rangers" I was probably 5 years old. That's when they lived off Ocean Ave. Aunt Ethel was taking care of me. As adults we occasionally got together. I last met with him at Mel's birthday in '08. I'm sure he will be missed. He loved his family and his dear Dorothy. I also remember the two portraits on either side of our grandmother's fire place at her Geary St. flat of him and Ralph. I often wonder where those pictures are now.I send my prays and know that he and Dorothy are together once again. With love to his family, Midge Eichenbaum Renton, Adolph's daughter.
