Know that Robert is fondly remembered by his CHHS  Class of 1965 classmates.

Dear Cheri and family,

We have watched your beautiful family grow over the past 40 + years.  While we were aware that Rob was struggling with a debilitating condition, his death came much too soon.  I still remember and chuckle over something Rob said many, many years ago: One of your children wanted your attention and you were doing something with Rob. The child asked, "When will you be done with mom" and he answered, "I'll never be done with your mom".  It was such a sweet thing to say and, truthfully, he will always be with you.  Sending our love, Susan & Richard Glaser

Cheri, 
     You always glowed when you  were by Rob's side sharing in many of the arts you both shared, and loved.  Be it at a concert at Sverence Hall with the Cleveland Orchestra, or  Blossom,. You shared   enjoying many plays that stimulated your minds, and brought you both much joy. Knowing  you since we were babies actually ,we had so much fun sharing family dinners together, and just GROWING UP! And you were so blessed to have found your soul mate in high school.  Rob and  you  shared the many years together raising an amazing family, and just sharing joys with your sister and brothers when you  had your get togethers. You have  been  blessed  in this lifetime, and Much sympathy and love  extended to you and your family, for your loss. With love, Rachelle 

We will always remember Rob as the very smart, intellectual, and religious person that he was. One of the first members of BJ that we met when we merged from Beth Am. Sat on the Synagogue and Services committee with him for years. He was a trooper with fighting his horrible disease and Cheri was his biggest cheerleader! She was the ultimate caregiver and he could not have survived as long as he did without Cheri’s help. He has a doting family and extended family and friends who will cherish his memory. May his name always be for a blessing. Judy and Bob

We have many fond memories  of Rob over the years from Heights Temple and Miami University.  We will always remember him as a sweet, kind person and the love of Cheryl's life.  May his memory remain as a blessing to you Cheri and to your family.  May Rob rest in peace - but oh too soon.  Our hearts are with you.
