I am so sorry for your loss. I worked for Mr. Rosenfield while in High school and college. Of all the bosses that I have had, I place Mr. Rosenfield at the top. He was a gentle sole, firm, and a mentor. He expected excellence, and received it. I never forgot him and never will.

I loved working for Mr Rosenfield at my first job at The Fashion. So very sad to hear of his passing as I saw him several times throughout the years. Always quick with a hug and a smile and always remembered me no matter how long it had been between meetings. You were a wonderful soul and I send my sincere condolences to his family and his "girls". He loved you both dearly. Rest in peace Sir.

The Final Salute
“Brothers in Arms”, Military men and women down through the centuries, have traditionally exchanged “Hand Salutes” as a sign of recognition and as a way to render courtesy and respect one to another.
This “Hand Salute” is the last that we shall render to Robert Louis (Bobby) Rosenfield our “Brother-in-Arms”. To his family it symbolizes the love and respect that we have for Bobby. And to Bobby it is rendered as a symbol of honor and gratitude to thank him for the devoted and selfless service he rendered to his country while serving as in the U.S. Army. Bobby, we commend you for your honorable service. You are a true patriot, who served with honor and distinction. You upheld the finest qualities of an American patriot warrior: courage, commitment, generosity, sacrifice, love and devotion to family and country. You were a true friend. We bid you a sad farewell. You will be dearly missed from among our ranks. Be at Ease. Rest in Peace.
On behalf of the 1,261 military veteran Legionnaires of Lowe-McFarlane Post 14 of the American Legion and the 233 veterans of VFW Post 2238 in Shreveport, Louisiana, we extend our sympathies and our condolences to Bobby's family and loved ones.
