Robert “Bob” William Spiegelman of Miami, Florida, passed away on November 2, 2026, at the age of 87.
Born in Philadelphia, Bob graduated from Central High School (Class 206) and earned a Bachelor of Science in Pharmacology from Temple University in 1960. After beginning his career in pharmacy, he and his wife, Linda, moved to Miami, where he found a new path in the trade show industry. He went on to start his own trade show exposition company and was a founder and partner of the Jewelers International Showcase.
Bob took great pride in his Jewish faith and was an active member of Temple Beth Am.
He was a devoted family man and loyal friend who cherished the time he spent with those he loved. He enjoyed fishing and playing golf with friends and was an avid sports fan, enthusiastically cheering on both Philadelphia and Miami teams. He treasured his time in Maine, as well as the adventures and special memories made while traveling the world with his beloved wife. He especially enjoyed family dinners at Joe’s Stone Crab and the meaningful connections he shared with his Chavurah family. Charming and personable, he was also an engaging speaker who had a gift for bringing people together and making a lasting impression.
He is survived by his beloved wife, Linda; his brother, David (Bobbie) Spiegelman; his brother-in-law, Sam Wichner; his children, Michelle (Steven) Goldish, Kenneth (Lynne) Spiegelman, and Jennifer (Barry) Gould; his grandchildren, Michael (Laura), Bryan, Benjamin, and David Spiegelman; Elizabeth, Julia, and Katie Goldish; Allison and Scott Gould; and Zachary and Daniel Weiner; and his great-granddaughter, Maya Spiegelman. He also leaves many cousins and friends to whom he was devoted. He was predeceased by his parents, Edna and Morris Spiegelman.
