Some of my best golf memories are golfing with Robbie. Miss him.

Dr Kowel was an amazing dentist with excellent cosmetic restoration. He will be missed. Always a pleasure to chat with.

Dear Janet, Rachel, and Brian,
We were deeply saddened by learning of Robbie's passing. Janet, you were our first friends in Rochester, and we'll always remember and be thankful for your welcoming us to the area. Rachel, you ran around our backyard when you were three, and Brian, you shared a birthday with Andrew and were good buddies. 
Likewise, we'll never forget Robbie's warmth and kindness and will treasure his memory. Our hearts go out to you on your great loss.
love, Arlene and Howie

We will miss our brother-in-law Robbie, his cheerfulness and love of a good time.  

Love,
Rosalie and Gerry

Dear Janet, Rachel and Brian, Words cannot express how sorry I am for your loss.  I am thinking of you all during this most difficult time and am sending my heartfelt condolences.  Love, Jennifer

We shared common interests, info only days before his passing on a telephone call-I was befuddled/shocked when I learned of his passing.  His laugh, good humor will always be treasured.

Robbie, my first cousin, was a great guy. Rarely did I see him without a smile on his face. Lover of golf, his family, friends, the JCC and his dental practices (when he was working), Robbie will be sorely missed. My deepest condolences to Robbie's family - my cousins.

Sending lots of love to your dear family during this tough time. I wish I was physically closer so I could be with you today. 
I am so grateful to have met Robert and Janet through their amazing daughter Rachel.  While I was in Medical School with Rachel, Robert and Janet always invited me along to family and friends gatherings. I always felt welcome and comfortable with them and they created a family away from home for me. I will always remember and be grateful for the humor, kindness, and generosity demonstrated by Robert. 

Love, Sylvia Jones

I loved playing golf with Robbie at ICC. He was always a joy and one of the funniest guys I have had the pleasure of knowing. He worked very hard to keep Walter Capell from stealing me away as one of his favored golf partners! He and Sam Berns were my Yiddish coaches!!! My love to you my dear friend.

Such a great guy …. and quite the comic!  Never had a bad round of golf or a meal with Robbie at ICC.  Condolences to Janet, Rachael, Matt, kids and entire family.  Rest in peace, friend❤️

May his memory be for a blessing!!

I had many enjoyable golf rounds with Robbie-He will be missed by many. May his memory be a blessing. Condolences from our family to yours.

Robbie and I would pick up Karen Bresloff and Janet Luss in his Pam Am and go to Sea Breeze to play fascination many, many times!  Robbie loved to drive fast.  On varsity soccer, Robbie was a great defensive player except when he picked up the ball with his hands.  And was he ever a fan of Mickey Mantel!!  Everybody loved Robbie!  My deepest condolences to the family.
