My deepest sympathy to the Garabed family. Many memories of high school and our trip to Washington D.C.
Bobby was always well liked and just a “good” guy.
A man who loved his family and his children. He will be missed.
I’ve known the Garabed family since 1976. I got to know them from their son Glenn, who I graduated from Teaneck High School with, in 1976. I received a text today from Glenn about Bobby and his passing. I was sad at first, but a smile came upon my face. Why, because Bobby was such a great friend, and we have such great memories. I believe he would want everyone to smile at this sad time. Just the type of person he was. I want the Garabed family to know that I love them, and will miss Bobby. God Bless!! Your friend , Jim Thompson.
I’m in shock to hear about the passing of Bobby. I’ve known him since 1976, when I first met all of the Garabed family. I went to Teaneck High School with Glenn, younger brother. Bobby was always in a good mood, and made me laugh. I’m very sad, but I know Bobby wouldn’t want me to be sad. He would won’t me to be happy about all the good times we shared together. I love the Garabed family, they are such a beautiful family. RIP Bobby and God Bless. I’ll miss you my friend.
I knew Bob through junior high and high school. We both left Teaneck to serve in the military, and we lost track in the intervening years. For me, Bob was a source of good friendship and lots of laughter. He found joy and humor in everyday living. I’m sure that friends and family loved him for it, and adored him because he so readily shared that joy and humor with them. My deepest condolences.
One of the best brother in laws ever. Always with a smile and would do anything for anybody. From day one he accepted me for who I was without question and loved me unconditionally. Bob, you will always be FACE to me…..rest in peace.
My sincere condolences to Bob’s family. I went to school with Bob and always enjoyed his friendship and sense of humor. He was a great guy, and I am very saddened by his passing.
I knew Bob since 1955 when I moved down the street from the Garabed family. I grew up with all of the older ones and remember the younger ones. I consider them to this day as my family. Let us rejoice in the knowledge that Bob is back with his mom and dad and be sure they welcomed him with open arms. To Elaine, Joe, Glenn, Janice, and Cheryl I send all my love and deepest sympathy as well as to the rest of his family. R.I P. old friend. Someday we will meet again.
I went to School with Bob for many years in Teaneck. He was a really great guy and a good friend. I was in a few classes with him at Teaneck High and I remember he had a wonderful sense of humor. My sympathies to his family.
