My “Uncle Bob” was the best.  I will always 
My “Uncle Bob” was the greatest.  I will remember his kind heart.  When I needed a place to live in New York in the early’80s he took me in to live with him.  Two crazy single guys, that was us.  He has known me since I was a baby.  He taught with my dad in Lyndenhurst.  I played golf with him if you call what I was doing, playing.  He was as close to me and my sister Miriam and my late brother Sheldon as our own parents.  He attended my bar mitzvah and my brother’s.  He attended my sister’s wedding and was there for all our happy and not so happy occasions.  I will miss him dearly.  Rest in peace “Uncle Bob”.  Love 
you always, Keith D. Sklar.

We  have been bobs neighbors for over 50 years. Me and my parents and my wife who met bob  when we first met have always loved his welcoming greetings and wonderful demeanor. 
When bob met Janet they were so wonderful and Janet went upstairs to see my mom to help her with her hair on many occasions. 
Two of the most sweetest people you could ever meet. We will miss them beyond words and are heartbroken of this news of their passing. 💔😢💕💕

Bob was  married to my sister Janet  for 20 years they both died within a month of each other from the  corona virus . We will miss them so much they were two people that would do anything for you. They were  kind ,loving ,caring  and had a heart of gold. Our hearts are filled with sorrow.  

Mr. Gelman was my neighbor and he always had a smile for everyone.
