Janice and Drew,
We are so sorry to hear of Bobs death. I'm so sorry you couldn't get in touch with us. John and I were talking about the time Bob flew out to Wisconsin to play cards for the weekend. He was such a good, crazy person, always had a smile on his face, no matter what was going on. He was a great husband and father, he loved you both dearly.
Love,
John and Carol
I am so saddened to have seen that Bob had passed away and that I just have learned up it today. Bob Love was a fine gentleman - a thinker - a doer - a great father and husband. I will always remember him with deep respect. He was a very active Board member with Sussex Academy and served as its president. Thank you Bob for all you have done for the people whose paths you have crossed.
With respect and sadness,
Patricia S. Oliphant
Dear Janice,

Thanks for the many great memories we had together as kids. The times at Hammonton,Collins lakes, the shore and the poconos. One story I like to tell is the time you, Ron and I were at your house in the poconos. You had just got a BB gun and we were having a blast shooting it. When we got back to the house, uncle Andy was waiting for us as there was a BB gun hole in the front picture window. Uncle Andy ,as usual, was cool about it and boys will be boys.
RIP Bobby and my condolences to your family. Your cousin Michael
Bob or Bobby as he was known as a child and I were born 2 months apart and came home to houses about 100 yards from each other. There were lots of young mothers strolling their kids around so, many neighbors knew each other. Bob and I and our families became friends since our earliest memories in life. We developed a kindred spirit and bond that lasted our entire lives, even if we didn't speak for 10-20 or more years. On a first name basis with his parents, being there (several days a week) felt more like being with family, cousins, than friends. I loved his whole family and was deeply affected when his father Andy died so young.
Bob went to Catholic elementary school directly across from the synagogue I attended and we discussed our different experiences and religions often. Were were like 6 years old! We never argued. We were both just interested in the differences.
A story he liked to tell - We decided if I became Catholic just for one day, he would bring me to school as his show and tell! He remembered my father shall we say being less than thrilled with the idea in spite of my urging! I mostly remember we always laughed a lot when we were together.
Fortunately, I was in touch with Bob while Rita (mother) was still living and was able to express my special feelings for her.
When I think of Bob the first thing that comes to mind is "happy". An eternal optimist he always looked forward to what he was doing. A great attitude. He loved life and didn't take it too seriously. He could always find some humor. He knew a fair amount about Judaism and remained one of my Christian friends who understood and enjoyed Jewish humor.
Such a lovely human being. I lost a true brother. I will miss him so much.
We hadn't seen each other for many years and I was to go stay with him and Janice on March 4th for 3-4 days. We just confirmed it Friday afternoon and were both very excited. Then I got the call Saturday morning.
Bob will remain immortal through the memories of those who knew and loved him.
I wish the family the strength they need to get through these most difficult times.

Always had a good relationship with Bob for the short time I knew him at the Edgewater

Janice, Drew,
All the best memories! Will always remember all the fun times we have had together. I will never forget my trips with Bob to Atlantic City.
Love,

I only knew him a short time but always enjoyed standing in the front, side or back yard talking with Bob. One of the nicest people you ever wanted to meet. You will truly be missed.
