Sending my sincere condolences to Rob’s family. I loved Rob, like a brother. He was a good, generous and sweet pal and colleague for more than 20 years. For some reason, blurry in my memory now, he sweetly nicknamed me “Mahhhh-gret” in a dry, droll English accent. He LOVED to drive my sporty Mazda, so whenever we played together, I let him take the wheel, which he adored. (Ironically, he ended up living on the same street in Fort Lee, NJ where I grew up.) His great humor and silly sensibility got us through many performances together. He was an enormous talent. I considered myself fortunate to have his great accompaniment to my vocals. He was helpful and willing to go the extra mile with his performances, always impressing the crowds. His intelligence, talent and simple being will be sorely missed. I treasure my colorful memories of Rob, my brother from another mother. -Donna Harris ;-)
( I would be at his remembrance but I’m out of the country. I will be there in spirit.)
