Harlene, I just read online an obituary about Bob’s sudden passing. I am so sorry for your loss. My condolences to you and family. I volunteered with you and Bob at the CT Tennis Open and the International Arts & Ideas Festival. Bob will be missed and remembered by all who knew him for his friendliness, kindness and willingness to help or volunteer.

Dear Harlene and family,
I was saddened to learn of Bob’s passing. He served with us on the East Gate board for 3 years. He always had great suggestions and was willing to lend a hand when I need it. All who knew him have been truly blessed by his presence. We will miss him and his smile. My prayers are with you and your family.

I was shocked and saddened to hear of Bob’s passing in December. We met as ushers at Pilot Pen Tennis in New Haven and shared a deep love of the game and the theater. Bob later got my wife and me involved as ushers at Long Wharf Theatre and he was a loyal supporter of my playwriting, coming to see many of the staged readings I had in the area. He was a warm and wonderful friend and I will miss him.

I’m so saddened and sorry to hear about Bob’s passing. I’m another tennis friend of his and he was such a nice person. Always friendly and loved his tennis. Taken way too soon. May he Rest In Peace and I hope his memories give you peace and comfort.

Martin and I are deeply saddened at the untimely loss of dear ‘Bobby’. Both on and off the tennis court he was a mensch. I loved being his doubles partner – or opponent. ( He would often hint, by a tiny gesture, he was about to send you the return shot:) He built a white kitchen cabinet for us last year and we enjoyed going to the theater together. We miss him and can’t believe he’s gone. May his memory be a blessing. Our hearts go out to Harlene, Scott, Todd and Adam and the grandchildren. Much love. Lisa

We are very sorry for your loss. He was a great supporter of the arts and we will miss seeing him at concerts.

Harlene, Adam, Scott and Todd,
We were deeply saddened to hear of Bob’s untimely passing. Many of our fondest family club memories involved Bob, especially his Purim costume as “a flasher”! His deep love for his family, especially his precious grandchildren, always brought a smile to his face. May you find some comfort in the beautiful memories you have.
Debbie and Dave Kaye

Harlene, I love you.. my heart goes out to you and your family

I’m so sorry to learn of Bob’s passing. I played tennis with him many times. He was a great guy. Very friendly and interesting. Also a very good player. He’ll be missed by many.

Dear Harlene,
I was so sorry to hear about Bob’s death. I was happy that I had had the opportunity to meet him and to hear his book recommendations for our group. There are 2 memories of Bob that always come to mind. One evening at a book talk at the JCC when Bob alerted you to the fact that I had just come in and suggested that we all sit together. But the more significant memory was of the picture which you showed at book club one night. It was of you and Bob, your sons and your grandchildren. When you showed it to us, you said something to the effect of, “Bob and I looked at this picture and thought to ourselves, ‘This is the family that we created.'” That is the family who I am sure will provide you comfort at this very difficult time. My sincere condolences.
