Memories of Robbie flood my mind as a wild spirit as a 6th grader.  Rest in peace. He touched the lives of so many whether it be a week ago or over 50 years ago. We are all better to have known him. Simone, may you find some peace in how lucky you were he was in your life not long enough but as your soul mate.

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

My memories of Rob when we went to school together just put a smile on my face. I am glad I had the opportunity to know him. May your memories comfort your heart and help ease the pain of your loss.

Please accept my condolences on the loss of Rob. May fond memories comfort you; and God help your family during this difficult time. Isa.41:13

May you live surrounded by his comfort, warm smile, his sarcastic, intelligent, quick and subtle sense of humor that will forever live within you. Robbie and I were friends in the late 70's as part of a loosely knit Shaker Heights group that drank, laughed and thought up ways to trick each other.  My sympathy for your loss, he' one of a kind.

Rob was a positive force with a quiet, calm strength.  He will be greatly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.  Rest in Peace my friend.  Gail Steiger (PAAC)

What a shock and and what a loss to his family and everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him. My condolences go out to all. 
Rob always had that great laugh and smile. Big hole he's left behind.

Rob was a bright light and I enjoyed his energy and Je de Vivre. I am so sorry for your loss and hope your memories sustain you. I too went to Arowhon and know of Robs camping days.

Simone,
I am so sorry for your loss, He was the love of your life.
Robbie will be in your heart forever..God Bless

Robbie had many friends from a camp in Algonquin Park, Ontario.
We all remember his incredibly contagious laugh (I'm hearing it now), and his love of guitar and folk music. He and I spent many hours singing and playing . . . 
I'm sad that we never had the chance to chat recently, but remember a long conversation, seven years ago . . . catching up and promising to visit . . . THAT will have to wait a bit longer.
To the Goldfarb family, from the Arowhon family . . . Robbie was a sweet spirit and we celebrate his many gifts to all those who knew him.

I remember Robbie from early days at Brith Emeth. Always a great smile and a kind heart. My deepest condolences to you, Simone. Life surely is not fair.

Darling Simone and family. We are hurting with you. Life isn't fair much of the time. Your strength and love of life will help heal this so tragic loss. 
Sorry doesn't begin to express this unexpected tragedy. Just remember we are hugging you with the Lord our God's love and all our good Karma. A million kisses.....Marty &family

Michael, Simone, Ali, Austin, Heidi and Kim, and the many others who loved Robbie, I am beside myself to hear of his loss. Robbie was like a little brother to me, spending many hours at the home I once shared with my best friend and Robbie's sister, Eileen Adler, in Shaker Hts.Robbbie entertained us, playing my mother's piano and joining us for dinner. Take comfort that he is now with his beloved sister Eileen, and parents. May they all rest in peace.

I was shocked to hear the news . Robbie was really a good person and I'm sure that many will miss him.

Entirely unbelievable ! I can't ever remember Robby NOT smiling. Even when he slept on the drive to Columbus. Dude ain't gone. No matter what. Hear me ?

To Simone, Ali and Austin and Michael...A very special man has left us and we all mourn his passing...May Robbie rest in eternal peace and may you all know no more sadness. With much love, Arlene and Allan Brief

Simone and family, my best to all of you.  Robbie was such a gift.  I knew him back in the day when we were going to Heights High and re-kindled my friendship with him on Facebook.  Same old Robbie I remember.  He is absolutely crazy about you Simone and loves his kids so much.  I hope you never lose sight of that.  I am truly sorry that he is gone and my heart goes out to all who will miss him terribly.  My best regards, Rebecca Lovejoy, Bothell, WA

So sorry for your loss. Our condolences to Rob's family and friends.

Simone, I am so shocked and saddened. You just sent me info the other day that he was fine and I have a voice mail from Rob on the 18th. Carol and I were just saying the other day that we should get together again after Rob's recovery. My heart goes out to you and your family.

Bruce

My heartfelt sympathy to you Simone.  I hope time will help you get through this. So sorry.
