What a joy, blessing, and honor it has been to know
Bob over the years! A truly special human being
who exuded great warmth, spirit, and love. No matter how busy he was Bob always found time
to stop for a friendly chat and in the process make
you feel special and brighten your day. 
Terri and I will miss him greatly, but always remember him for the very special human beingi
that he was. Our thoughts and prayers are with his
loving family.

Our heartfelt prayers and thoughts are with the Mangels family.  I have many fond memories from spending time at the Mangels home in Beltsville back in the 80s.  Mr. Mangels was an absolute gem and the two things that always stayed with me about him was his adoration and love for his beloved wife; and complete devotion and love for Bobby & Tina.  What an amazing legacy this man has left for his family and friends.  Always to be treasured.  XO

I'm not very good in saying good bye,so until we meet again, you will always be in my heart for we have shared many memories..thank you for the wonderful life my sister   and all who knew you were bleesed with just being in your presence..rip   love you Loretta @ ralph

We are so sorry to hear of Bob's passing. Mike first met Bob about 1967, when Mike was first starting to collect coins, and Bob took him under his wing as Mike learned the coin business.  He was a wonderful friend and mentor, and great business associate.  We have so many fond memories of Bob over the years, traveling the coin circuit, and visiting his shop, and his contagious smile lit up the room wherever he went.  We will miss him!

Our condolences to the Mangels family. You are in our thoughts and prayers

Dear Marilyn, 
There is a special gift in life that some of us receive;
It's not a brilliant jewel to wear or a fancy car to drive or a beautiful house;
That very special thing is a person, near and dear,
Someone we call "brother", the greatest gift of all.

There are also sad things that we encounter in our daily life 
And one of the saddest thing of all is saying farewell brother
But brother never die, they live on in our heart and mind forever. 

May the wonderful memories you shared with your brother will provide comfort and peace to get you through the days ahead. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family through this heartbreaking time.

Truly one of a kind and a master of making you feel welcome. I have many fond memories of watching him work his magic at the Cherry Lane store. Jay and Alison Jefferson

I am deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Bobby Sr. I had known him for over 50 years. I will always remember his comments about my retiring. He was a true friend and will be sorely missed.

Thanks for changing my life "Uncle Bob", you will always be remembered.  My prayers go out to your wonderful family at this time of loss.  I know you have already made a few deals in heaven!

Our deepest sympathy goes out to the Mangels family.  Claudia we are thinking of you at this sad time and sending our prayers to you and your family.

We will all miss "Uncle Senior". He was a hard worker and a generous trusting man. May God rest his soul. My sympathy
to all.

When you think of Bob, you think of his smile, the twinkle in his eye, and being greeted as "babe."  I look back fondly to my many memories of Bob and the days I was a teenager, and all the years since.  I celebrate those years rather than dwell on the loss.  He was special.

Bobby and I go back to the 1980s  I was running baseball  card shows and he added cards to his inventory because coins were a bit slow
He participated at a lot of my shows and we had a lot of dealings through our stores too.
 Always a good guy -tough negotiator but always a good guy I was thrilled to have him stop by my show a couple of years ago. the time just melted away and it was like the old days
I'll miss you Bobby!

He was just a really great guy.  Fun to be around and always made you feel special.  I can still hear him say "know what I mean guys"...He will  greatly be missed.  Love to Patty, Tina & Ricky, Lil Bob & Arlene and all the grandkids.  Love your Cousin Tina & Craig.

Bob was very much a mentor when I first got into the business and he always went out of his way to help me. He was a true friend and loved!

Mr. Bob gave sunshine to everyone. Always a gentleman 
and very thoughtful. He had a wonderful sense of humor.
I think he made everyone feel special and he had wisdom 
that comes from simply living. He had that little spark in
his eye and always a smile. The world is a better place
because he gave from his heart. All memories of him
cause my heart to remember his sunshine and warmth.
And I think others would agree with me. May comfort be
upon all his loved ones. May his love live forever.
Love Lilly Schiavone

I am saddened to hear of his passing.  Knew him since the 1960's.  My thoughts and prayers are with his family and hope your happy memories give you comfort.  My sincerest condolences.    Wm. Hallam Webber, Gaithersburg, MD

We were so sorry to hear about Bob.  Please know our thoughts and prayers are with the whole family at this time.  God Bless

Patty, Rich, Jr, and the entire Mangels-Stelfox families......our deepest condolances on Bob's passing.My thoughts are of sadness, but also to celebrate his long life and all the great and fun things about him. He was a friend, and a teacher of life. Bob had the ability to put positive energy into any negative one in life's daily situations. And his advice and friendship was a rarity in today's world. He was a great husband , father, grandfather, uncle, and friend to all. His life was about the action and interactions with people both in the coin business and his personal life. Bob was old school, and that was something I always admired of him. His spirit, smile, and everything good about him will live on in all of us and everyone he touched in his life. May he rest in peace.....Love, Eddie Lowy, Ricardo Cortes, and Arlene Lowy

I met Bob 53 years ago and have always considered him a friend and a brother.  

May the Lord bless you during this time of sorrow.

Bob and Pat, I am so sorry to hear about Bob. I always enjoyed his light-hearted spirit. What a very nice and true "gentleman".

I meet Bob SR and the gang many years ago at the pittsburgh coin show. We had fun times and he was a great person. He will be missed greatly. May God bless him, you and your family in this time of sorrow. My prayers are with him and his family.
