Dear Emily and Irv,
We are shocked and saddened to hear about Bobby. He's the third loss of a neighborhood "kid" and how precious each one was. We were away so didn't hear until today. Our hearts ache for you and your family. Irene and Bob Glaser

Sincerest condolences on Bobby's death. I have fond memories of him going back to our Outdoor Nursery carpool days. I remember how happy he was about his Dad's new Tieota. The kindergarten teacher said he and Evan were like brothers: either at each other's throats or in each other's arms. He will be missed.

So very sorry to learn of the loss of your son, Robert. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Love, Carol Chabuk

Freshman year, I would stop by Bob's room and we would walk to breakfast together before our 8 am class. I think I was in charge of not letting him oversleep! Each morning he would buy the paper and read me the news while we ate. Always holding doors open for me along the way...such a considerate and gentle human being. You are greatly missed by me!

October 27, 2014

Dear Emily, Irv, Jodi, Sarah and Ben,
My thoughts and prayers are with you. Bobby was always a kind and warm person to me. I will always cherish the childhood memories we shared together.
Bobby, you will be missed.
Love,
Verena
