Dianne and I are heartbroken with the loss of a good friend and mentor. Your family has been a part of our family for many years and we will sadly miss his wit and wonderful persona. His impact on those who’s lives he touched is larger than life.
On that note our family can only offer our deepest sympathy and warm wishes. Memories live on forever.
Dianne and Herb Hawes and Family
My deepest sympathies to the Jaffe family. I have nothing but fond memories of Bob from when I was a student working at Day Drug and appreciate everything he’s taught me. Take care.
Priscilla, my deepest condolences to you and your family. You and Bob were instrumental to my happiness during my employment with Brooklyn Savings – I was truly blessed when Day Drugs opened “next door”, and you both will always have my gratitude. Bob was more than a pharmacist to the community, he was a gentle, thoughtful, and caring soul who befriended our lives.
Dear Jaffe family,
I offer my sympathy to all of you on your loss. I have wonderful memories from many years ago of going toGarden City Pharmacy every Sunday morning with my Dad. Please take care.
My sympathy goes out to all of you during this difficult time. I had the pleasure of working for Bob at Garden City Pharmacy. May your memories of a wonderful man comfort you. God Bless!
Priscilla, Naomi, Jordan,

Dear Priscilla,
I just recently heard of Bob’s death, and wanted to let you know that my sister Regina and I, are so deeply sorry for your loss. I have so many wonderful memories of Bob, during the days of working at Garden City Pharmacy during my high school and college years. He was always so patient and kind to everyone, a wonderful man of integrity and honor. I remember the birth of your children and how happy you both were! How the years have flown!
Take care during this difficult time. My thoughts and prayers are with you!
Love, Claudia
