I remember having regular lunches with my friend Bob at the Continental Bank executive dinning room, all the execs dressed in three piece suits and then their biggest producer dressed in his own way, ignoring the stars, always smiling and a joy to be with and be friends with the most genuine person I have ever known.

I have lost a wonderful friend. I know Bob's memory will be strength to his children and grandchildren. Bob's sense of humor and common sense approach to business and life is a reflection of his personality and warmth. We will all miss Bob and his enormous hugs. My sympathies to Bob's children, grandchildren and family.

Bob lived life fully, largley and lovingly. We should all be so lucky to be as honest, warm and passionate about life as Bob was. He touched us all just by being Bob and we loved him for it. He will be greatly missed by everyone that knew him.

I've only had the privilege of knowing Uncle Bob the past two years, but in that period have packed in a lot of quality time with a very smart, very wise and very funny guy.
He will be truly missed by so many.
I am sorry that I had such a short period of friendship but I will always cherish our trips to London (where the foundation he headed sponsored the London School of Economics conference on European Foreign Policy), to Paris where the same foundation endowed a scholarship in composition at the summerprogram of the European American Music Alliance, and to Shanghai and Hong Kong.
I wish Bob's children, grandchildren, brother and sisters, and his legion of friends condolences and appreciation for the illuminating light and warm glow that emanated from this very special man.

My condolences to the Weitzman Family the loss of their very special person.
I bought 257 E. Delaware from Bob and his partner, Howard, in 1979.
In my long real estate career, I have always maintained that the greatest pleasure in real estate is to deal with a gentleman. Bob was such a gentleman.
He truly lit up a room when entered and now the room is dimmed with his departure.
I type these words with misty eyes but will always find myself smiling when I think of him.
He was a good man.
