Our condolences to the families of Robert Mushrush for their loss, especially to Robert Jr and his wife Anna, who were my classmates at Catty High. I remember Mr. Mushrush as one of the best teachers. Whenever I saw Mr. Mushrush walking at the LV Mall, he always had some kind words to say and talk about old times at CHS. He will be remembered. Peace.

To Bob Jr. and the rest of the family -- I send to you sincere condolences on the passing of your Dad and grandfather, a man who was among the classiest guys I met in my long career. I was new to the business when I first met him during the Larry Miller days and all those great nights in the Lincoln Gym, and he always treated me with respect. He truly impacted me over and over. He passed along those same traits to my "old" college roommate, too. I'm sure you will be celebrating a wonderful life and many memories today; I'm sorry I can't be there to share them with you.

Mushrush Family, please accept my most sincere sympathy with the passing of your Dad. Having worked with him in the NASD I got to know him as a colleague and a friend. He was a man with much class. Having many similar interests gave us much to chat about beyond the educational aspect. I learned a great deal from him. I am sorry that I can not attend his funeral due to time and distance. I will remember him in my prayers. He will be missed by those who knew him. May he R.I.P.
