Bob, I cannot believe that it is two weeks since you left this earth so suddenly. Everyday that passes I think you will walk thru the door from band practice or some other outing. You are missed so very, very much by everyone who knew you. Hope you are playing your keyboard for everyone in heaven and having a great time. Please continue to play your music and send us your love.
Love you forever and always, Maureen

I met Bob at AT&T about 22 years ago. He joined the group with which I was working. He and I were tasked with building some servers and install them in a computer lab at AT&T in Middletown where we worked. We started talking about music and when I found out he was a keyboard player, I asked him to join myself and a few of my friends in Red Bank at the Red Bank Rehearsal studio for a music session. That started a 22+ year friendship, through work and music, that I will cherish for the rest of my days.
Bob was a brilliant database professional and after sharing those skills with AT&T for 20 odd years, he moved on to share his talents with the state of NJ, encouraging them to converge the foster home family data with the criminal database to further serve the safety of the children in the system. He also worked with HP, major banks, and most recently Daimler trucks of North America.
In music, Bob was an excellent keyboardist with a natural feel and head for improvisation. He added not only music to the band, but also a kind, intelligent wit that I can still hear in my head. We had many sessions together over the years, and he and I made many trips to Guitar Center over lunch breaks to look at new equipment, try out the latest and greatest, and just talk and enjoy the company of another like-minded soul.
I will greatly miss my friend! Rest in peace Bob, you made this a better world...

In the summer of 1978, Bob and our closest friends rented a beach house in Spring Lake, NJ. It was a time of carefree laughter, endless parties, and bonds that would last a lifetime.
That summer marked the beginning of a journey that saw us through life's milestones – marriages, children, and even grandchildren. Through it all, Bob remained a steadfast friend, his presence a constant source of joy and laughter.
Bob, you will be deeply missed, but never forgotten.
With Love,
Joan and Jay Rosenbaum

I was privileged to be both a coworker and music friend of Bob. A favorite memory of mine is on our lunch break, we went over to Sam Ash music store, Bob got on the keys and I sang. We had a great time together that day - maybe too great: we must have been too loud, because the store manager came by to speak to us - we wore out our welcome! We got the hint and left, laughing the whole way out!
My heart goes out to Bob's family and friends - he was a special person. You remain in my prayers.
