Bobby, I searched for you for so many years and I am so devastated that this is the way I finally found you.
Bobby and I were best friends in Brentwood high School. We met at a battle of the bands at the park in Brentwood. We were in our first band together with a guy named Mike Cooper. We used to rehearse in Bobby's basement. Later Bobby and I joined a band called Twice is Nice. Bobby left that band to form Arc with Wayne George. I was devastated because it was the first time I didn't get to play with my best friend.
I have so many wonderful memories of you Bobby. I wish we could have talked one last time. I hope to see you again in Heaven my old friend. I always loved you. 

Bobby was the first real friend I made in NYC when I moved there in 1988. He was my boss at SIR studios on 52nd and a wonderful human being who I always loved and respected! He was a great role model for the 22 yr old rocker I was and I always wished we kept in touch after I left NYC. He would literally open his home to you if you needed anything and I have literally NOTHING BUT FOND MEMORIES of this wonderful man. I had the pleasure of playing and singing in his and Ernie’s band too! We had a lot of great times at work and at play! God bless your soul buddy.

Bobby, rest peaceful my friend.We spent many years together in a special band with some great musicians, here are some of the members; Joey(drums) Jay (keyboards),Bobby (bass and L vocal),Ernie (guitar),Gene (drums),Frankie (bass),Max (bass).You really shined at the showcase in NYC we did when Mark with Paul Simon was working with us, those were great times.Greg R and Ralph P and Randy B were great guys at the mixer.I really enjoyed seeing us together on the big stage on your youtube video remembrance with many songs playing that we spent countless hours writing.miss you Bobby.       Ernie

I think about you every day.  Will always treasure the happy memories of our life with Mishu on 83rd Street.  We lost Moo last week so maybe you can check in with her and show her around.  Hope you are both having a blast!  Love you baby!  Leigh

Dear Marian,
I was watching the Letterman show last night (I missed it on Wednesday) and I saw Bob's name on the "in memoriam" list.  I am so shocked and saddened by this terrible news.  I am so sorry, Marian.  I don't know what else to say.  I am trying to find out more about how this happened.  Bob called me not too long ago and it sounded like he was pretty down.  You know we always cared about each other and I will always remember you and Anna and dear Nick with much fondness. With sympathy, Angela Cappelli

I met Bobby in the mid 90's doing Audio on the Today Show. We connected right away. I left there after six years and we would keep in touch from time to time then we drifted away. About three years ago Bobby called we. I'm a kind of an introvert and don't answer calls from the past but this was Bobby! That day he made my day and I felt good. Bobby had that way with people. We said that we would get together but never did. Last night watching Letterman and at the end they listed people from the show that had passed. Their was Bobby 's name and I broke down, cried like a baby. Even though I haven't seen him in decades he had a profound effect on my life. He was a rare soul who radiated love to all of us.

Hey Bobby
I think about you EVERY DAY. I have your Guitar here that you gave to Zach when you heard he was in the guitar club at school. He's the only kid that showed up with a SKB pro fiber case for his guitar !! Puts such a smile on my face and I can see yours right now as well. 
Man I miss you so much... Just talking and laughing. 
Ok....talk soon

It was a wonderful experience to work with you those 18 months on the Jim Hendrix project. So many memories with you and Mike that I reminisce often. Your spirit will always live with me my friend, RIP.

My condolences to family and friends in the passing of Bobby. Met him during Christmas one year in PA with Leigh ? his warm smile, friendly countenance and contagious laugh will never be forgotten! The struggles are over and now he's experiencing true eternal life ? Peace and Strength to all who loved him -

Dear Robert, You have suffered enough.  Now it's time for you to rest and be at peace. I know you are happy and with your Dad. We were blessed to have known you !

Way too soon Bobby.... You will forever live on in ALL of the lives you have touched.

Dearest Bobby, you were and are one of the great loves of my life. You taught me about talent and humbleness. I will never forget your funny voices and being lounge lizards on 83rd St. Sending prayers of strength and courage to your family and Godspeed to you my love.

Mr. Bobby….you were the big brother I never had.  You treated me with such respect from the moment I met you at JFK on my first trip to NYC in '93 and from there on we covered many miles together brother spreading the Hendrix vibe across the country.   I never got tired of hearing your same jokes and you taught me so much about life and the business.  You introduced me to New York, your family and friends.   Everywhere we went people loved you and I know each and every person you touched along the way will never forget you.  I am so glad to have known you and to have seen you one last time in October.  Thank you for helping pick out the wind chimes, they will remind me of you often.   I wish I could be there to help send you off, but I will be there in spirit for you and your family.  Love you man….rest in peace with your father as the show must go on….

Sincere condolences on Bobby's passing.  
Keep his life alive in the cherished memories that live in your hearts.
