Karess ,

I am sending healing prayers and comforting hugs to you and your family.  I am so sorry for your loss.

From the first time we met Bob as our new neighbor, we clicked.   He was always ready to lend a hand, or chat in the yard.  Soon Bob was part of our family.  We shared many a dinner together at home or at a downtown restaurant.   We had fun at Friday Night Thunder and neighborhood get-togethers.   We never ran out of  stories to share,  things to talk about, and things to laugh about.  Bob and Rich shared a love of tools and projects, and they tackled many fun (and not-so-fun!) jobs together.  Bob was generous,  kind, and loyal - the kind of man you want to know.   Even our grandkids fell in love with Bob when they met him. Bob, you will forever hold a special place of love in our hearts.   You are missed already, and we send our love and sympathies to Lee and all of your family.

  I know bob from the gym  we all went out to dinner before he left Inverness he was a funny and nice guy I will miss him 

We love you and your silliness, jokes and hugs. We will miss your Tennessee visits. Have fun with Pop Pop in Heaven! 

Much Love, Olivia, Xander and Leela

Karess and family,

I would like to offer you and your family my deepest and most sincere condolences and may the soul of your father rest in peace.

Karess,

Thank you for being a loyal brother to Alan, a supportive brother in law to me and a loving uncle to Lori.  I will hold all the memories in my heart. Until we meet again!  All my love, Carol 

It is never easy to loose a parent. Take comfort in your memories as you grieve. My thoughts and prayers are with you.  

Uncle Bob, or "UB" as I have always referred to him, was not only my Godfather but also my closest Uncle.  UB always flashed that beautiful smile and gave that welcoming hug every time I saw him. I have a lifetime of wonderful memories with my UB, but the one memory that stands out the most is that I would always know when he was around or could find him in a crowd because of his trademark whistle.

So many great memories of my Uncle Bob in my heart even though we were always separated by so many miles. My very first visit to Disney World in 1974, staying in my aunt and uncle’s “fancy” house, huge bowls of popcorn. This is also when Uncle Bob started calling me “Boosity Kid” or just “Boosity” due to my apparent mispronunciation of the word “beautiful.” The name followed me throughout my life, being addressed by it every time I talked to my Uncle. His sense of humor (almost identical to my dad’s) always made me laugh (or roll my eyes.)  I am so happy that he made many visits to TN these past several years so that my children got the chance to know and love him as well. Uncle Bob’s close relationship with my Dad (his baby brother) will always be precious to me and it was so much fun to be around them when they got to be together, even when they would lock stubborn horns and argue about something silly.  I am saddened to know I will never get to witness these visits or Skype calls ever again here on Earth. My heart is comforted knowing that when my Dad entered Heaven recently that even as he rejoiced, he kept a patient eye on the front gates until his beloved brother joined him 5 days later. I am so happy that they are without pain and weakness. They are two young, strong , handsome “Jersey Boys” from the old neighborhood reunited with their other siblings, family and friends who have gone before. I will love and miss you forever Uncle Bob. Your Boosity Kid, Lori xo

Karess, I am so sorry for your loss my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this time. We are here for you if there is anything that you may need.  

I am truly sorry to hear of the loss of your father.  Please accept my condolences.  May God give him eternal rest and the family the strength to bear the great pain.

One special memory we have of Bob took place many years ago on July 4th. Family and friends were all celebrating the holiday at Bob and Joanie's house in Ringoes, NJ. There was plenty of fun and food all day long. When it came to the evening we celebrated with fireworks in the back yard, which actually turned into "fire" works. The field behind their home caught on fire. We all scrambled to put it out (which we did). The memory of that 4th of July will make us smile forever.

Karess, I am so deeply sorry for your loss. our prayers and love go out to you and your family. Just remember we are here for you if you need anything no matter the day or time.. Here is a poem that I always think of when I am thinking of the ones we lost.

Those we love don't go away, they walk beside us everyday. Unseen, unheard, but always near, so loved, so missed, so very dear.



We're so proud of the grace and dignity you showed, Karess, and so touched by the compassion and love that filled your father's last days as you cared for him.  We're so sad for your loss. We love you so much
Dani & David Connolly

Karess,  I am deeply sorry to hear about your dad.  Even though it is tough right now, try taking comfort in all the memories, and that he is in a better place.

Most of my time spent with Robert was at times of family gatherings. I could always see the joy in his eyes while watching his family, especially the grandkids, living a happy, full life. I also always enjoyed seeing pictures of him on his boat fishing since that was something he loved so much.  He got so much great quality time with the family that way too. He will be missed and always loved. 

Karess, 
Praying for peace, comfort and strength during this difficult time. I am thinking of you and your family.
Gina 

I am so sorry for the families loss. Praying for comfort at this time. 

Karess, you did an AMAZING job taking care of your Dad and showing him love and care until he took his last breath. He will be with you always and will be watching over you with your Mom. We love you and are here if you need anything, day or night xoxo Love  Aleshia 

I’m so sorry for your loss and am praying for peace and comfort for you and your family.

Karess - I know that having you there with him was of great comfort during the last weeks and I am glad you were there.  Hang in there and know that we’re all thinking of you and your family right now!

“Wishing you peace to bring you comfort, courage to face the days ahead and loving memories to forever hold in your heart.”

Karess: you and your family are in our hearts, prayers, and well wishes. Our most sincere condolences to you & yours.

With love & support,

Bob was a great friend to both me and my father.  Many great memories of working, fishing and duck hunting with him; he will be missed by both me and my family!

I met Bob at the gym, the Y, years ago when I worked out every weekday at 5:00a.m.  I became “one of the guys” out on the floor lifting weights. It was like a family. Bob would always beat me to the gym and then be sitting on the bench drinking his coffee with his buddies when I would be leaving. I will remember his smiling face and sweet words, and sometimes a snarky comment! He was always such a kind and caring gentleman. I moved away 5 years ago but became Facebook friends with Bob. I’ll forever be grateful for this avenue to keep in touch with people I have met but no longer see. He will be missed. God bless you all❤️

I met Bob at the gym about 3 years ago. Over those years we developed a great friendship. Under the hard exterior  he was a kind and gentle man. This is a great loss to me . May he Rest in Piece.

I'm so sad for you and your kids..your dad loved you all so much..I got to talk to him around Easter for over an hour.  Lori has been filling me in our everything..KC how you took care of your dad ,especially  with covid and quarantined is truly an amazing act of love!❤love isn't love till you give it away..and you gave all you had...I regret we never saw each other  when we were younger,feel the same about Lori,but that's all part of being in the Chase family..if you rather a donation to the cancer foundation...get all my info from Lori, please,let me know  what you need..your dad was always sweet to me,my girls loved him,and if it wasn't for him,I would've  never been able to reunite with my dad before he passed..so blessings cousin, stay well

Lee, we are truly sorry to hear of Bob's passing. Enjoyed the times we shared with you. Praying for comfort. Sincerely, Ken and Lola Toedebusch

So sorry to hear of your father's passing. He was a great neighbor. Always shared his cooking and stories with us. May you find comfort during this difficult time 🙏. Ken and Lola Toedebusch


My heart breaks for your family. Cherish the memories that you will carry with you always and take comfort in knowing how proud you made him by stepping away from life and taking care of him and loving him until the very end. Love you my friend.

Bob and I went to Lafayette elementary school in Bound Brook,NJ. We were the west end kids and enjoyed playing on the playground there.  Rest in peace Bob
