I worked with Bob at ZC Sterling and then BKFS. We became fast friends enjoying competitive darts and I was the only one with whom he felt comfortable bowling with during the time we spent in Atlanta (he helped win a league championship!). We swapped many a story about tax services (Transamerica and First American where I worked). I visited Bob several times on Texas where his Mom and I swapped Polish food recipes! Bob was a great friend and I will miss our weekly talks. To his daughters, he spoke often about all three of you and was always proud of your accomplishments and felt your pain at your failures. My father was also 57 when he passed and I know what you are going through. I am so sorry for your loss. To Bob's Mom, I have seen the devastating affect of losing a child, no matter the age, first hand and I can empathize with you. To the test of th he family, Bob was an extraordinary man and I can definitely say he affected my life and I will never forget him. Bob, you were much too young to go and I dedicate this long entry to you and your legacy. Thank you for being in my life.

I've known Bob since 1992 both as a colleague and an employee... Not to say Bob was much of an employee to anyone. :)

One of the things he and I would go on about was 80/20, 90/10, enough was enough. Bob was 99.9% to a fault. You have to give credit for being consistent.

My kid's remember him as big Bob (versus Muscle Bob,,,, they had to have a way to separate them).

I'm very sorry he has passed at such at such any early age. Stephie, the boys and my thoughts go out to Rebecca, her sisters and their Grandma.

Such sad news! Bob and his brothers and parents went to our church in Mineola and school with my children. I went to Bob and Shawn's wedding. I have many fond memories of Bob and his family!

So heartbreaking to hear this sad news . Bob was my boss when I worked in the tax business . He was everything a great boss should be . Always put people first ! I never had a opportunity to meet Bob face to face since we all worked from home . But spent hours talking to him and learned so much from him . So sorry for your loss 😔

I’m so sorry for you and your sisters loss! I worked with your Dad in the Maryland Division and then again when we centralized to Dallas. As you know he had a beautiful mind, and he had a very interesting perspective on almost everything.

I will remember him as a very good boss, and he’s one of the reasons I remain in this industry today. He will be missed! ❤️🙏🏻
