My sincere condolences are being sent to his family. I also knew Bob from Taft 's class of 1971. We may have shared a few classes but what I remember him for the most were the double dates in sophomore or Junior year when I was dating Mark Higgins, who sadly has also passed away. Bob was dating my best friend Judy at that time.
I remember him then being the kind of person who was truly a kind, good looking, and sweet guy. I also remember thinking he wasn't like many of the guys I knew then. Of course we were all maturing in those years, but he seemed very mature for his age, and I had great respect for him.
I hope his family can feel through these short notes that we all cared for him, and hoping that even tho its been quite a few months since his death, that he was a very kind friend to us even then, and a person we will always remember fondly, and never forget. I'll bet he and Mark are having a quite a time up there!
My prayers will continue for his family, and close friends.

Bob will hold a special place in many people's hearts. I also worked with Bob at Unos for 6 years and went to visit him there for years after that....no words can express how much he will be missed.

I was just informed of Bobs death and am very saddened to hear of his passing and of your loss. My heart goes out to his family and friends. I worked with Bob at Unos for about 5 years and was always fond of his stories and views on life. There was never a dull moment with Bob. I had great respect for him by the way he began to run marathons. He def. had a positive impact on many lives and will always be remembered.

To the family of Bob Brodsky
I am so deeply sorry for the loss of your Dad, husband, son, uncle and a dear friend.
Bob and I were at Taft together for all 4 years. We were in the same division home room.
He was a great guy with a smile on his face and a joke or two to tell.
Trust in God that Bob is in a better place free of his pain and telling jokes and smiling down on all of you.
Heaven has now received a very special angle. When you look up in the sky and see a bright star that's Bob smiling down on us all.
I will keep all of you and Bob in my prayers.
May Bob rest in peace.

It saddens me to learn of Bob's passing and I would like to express my deepest sympathy to your family. We had quite a few classes together in high school and I remember that he was always so kind and funny, too. Please know that I will pray that God would continue to give you all His strength during this most difficult time.
Your sorrow is shared by everyone who knew him.

Diane,Annie,Alex, and Corey,
May you always know that your husband and father was loved by many. Diane, although I have not seen Bob since our High School graduation I will still say that he was one of the most kind hearted people I have ever met. May it somehow comfort all of you to know that BOB was one of the most kindest, funniest, glad to have him for a friend, type of person I have ever met.
He will forever be remembered as the VP of my graduating Class.

Dear Annie, Alex, Corey, and Diane-
I would like to express my regret for the loss of your father at such a young age. But he left you behind as his legacy to the world. I've never met such intelligent, well behaved, and happy children as the 3 of you when I met you in 1995. And i've never forgotten the happiness which Diane shared with everyone who came into contact with her. May your accomplishments in life be your tribute to your beloved Father's memory.
