Condolence From: Nancy Benjamin
Condolence: My deepest sympathies to Bob's wife, Janice, and his entire family. I have and always will have such high regard for Bob. He was truly an outstanding teacher and human being. Bob always expected excellence from his students and from himself. His orchestra concerts were superb. As his immediate supervisor, I enjoyed popping in on him during Block 2 to experience his rehearsals with his students. Very demanding and very fair. He had a good sense of humor and kept things in perspective. I can not even begin to list the number of awards the CNS Orchestra won over the years, thanks to Bob's leadership. So shocked to hear he has passed on. My thoughts and prayers are with family and friends.

Condolence: My heart-felt sympathy to Janice and all of Bob's family and friends. I worked with Bob at CNS. I will always remember his passion for music and teaching. Since his retirement from the district, I have missed his annual celtic music celebration played over the PA system each St. Patrick's Day morning. It was just so lovely. Bob will be deeply missed.

My family and I offer our sincere sympathy and prayers. I am so lucky that I was able to know Bob, even just a short while. He was always smiling and talking about his love of the violin. What a kind person he was. I will never forget him. I send you peace and healing, always.

Condolence: So very sorry to hear of Mr. Connell's passing. He was such a kind man, especially to this social outcast in high school, 20+ years ago. Too young to be gone this soon. Thank you for the music and memories.
