Incredible Moment of Awe

May 14, 2012 By // by mco

I knew Bob several years ago as a neighborhood family with daughters in similar grades as ours. My first and lasting memory of Bob will always be walking into the entry of their home in Torrey Hills and seeing the 6 or more foot long Christmas stockings he had made for each of his family hanging along the banister all the way down into the first floor! When Shelley told me Bob had made them, I took a second look and knew this was a Dad with a love for fun and silly things in life, incredible creativity and a heart of gold! I was in awe!

We will all miss Bob

For those who are interested, and as an expression of sympathy, memorial contributions in Bob’s name may be made to Children of the Night. Children of the Night is a privately funded non-profit organization established in 1979 and dedicated to rescuing America's children from the ravages of prostitution. This is a charity that was near and dear to Bob. He gave countless hours of pro-bono legal assistance to the organization. Those who would like to make a donation in memory of Bob may do so by writing a check to Children of the Night and mailing it to Children of the Night, 14530 Sylvan Street, Van Nuys, California 91411 or by making it directly on the website childrenofthenight.org It is important that they note this gift is in memory of Bob Gerber.
