Our deepest sympathy from the Bellevue Rehab staff. We will miss our dear friend Bob and all of his witty remarks! It was truly a joy fighting the battle against Parkinson’s with Bob. Keeping Ann and the family in our thoughts and prayers.

Bob was a wonderful man with a great sense of humor. He was smart, generous and a joy to be around. Our family will always treasure the special times we spent together and the laughs we shared. Ann, our thoughts and prayers go out to you. Rest in peace, friend.
Please accept my sincere condolences for the loss of Bob. Psalms 34:18 says that God is near to those brokenhearted. Draw close to God and he will grant you peace & comfort during this grievous time.
Prayers for peace and comfort during this time.
Dr. Lieberman saved my Mother’s life in 1990. The level of care and support he provided her during a catastrophic medical condition was amazing. I am eternally grateful to Dr Lieberman and his family for sharing his gifts with so many. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. God bless.
May the God of all comfort soothe your heart with his loving promise to reunite you together again in the future paradise mentioned at Revelation 21: 4, 5. Our dear heavenly father Jehovah (Psalms 83:18) knows the many tears you cry and He will sustain you during this time of need (James 4:8).
I came into Bob and Ann’s life a little over a year ago. Honestly at first I was nervous, but shortly after they became my Bobwick and Raja. And shortly after that came Cheryl ( Bobwick and Raja you guys know what I’m talking about LOL). All I can say is that whether it was 3am outings to Walmart or going on an adventure to a new store just to see what it was about. We always had a good time and soon I knew that I had ran into two people I could call life long friends… .actually more like long lost family members . I will always love and miss you Bobwick. Raja, Bobwick and Cheryl will always love you
