Dom, thanks for posting. Rose and I are so sad to hear of Bob’s passing. He was such a great friend and mentor to all of us. He will be missed. Keep all of us posted concerning his funeral arrangements as they become available.

Rose and Doc

Very sad to hear. May he Rest In Peace.

Aw, it hurts to hear that. Best to him and his, this is a sad day for all of us.

edit: is someone writing an obituary? Any information on where to send flowers, gestures of good will or donations?

It’s been a tough year for me losing friends. I was fortunate enough to hang out with Bob, Pat and Janice for lunch at his favorite hang out during our last six visits before GTC class. He loved playing the ultimateX video poker slot.
On my next visit to Vegas in a couple of weeks, I will go that place and play that same machine in his honor.
He will be missed.

I will try to keep all posted as soon as I get the details from his God-Son

Dom

Truly a sad day . . . a true gentleman and true mentor in every sense of the word. You could feel yourself getting smarter about dice control and controlled shooting every time you spoke with him. May God illuminate his soul. Rest in Peace Bob.

So sorry to hear of Bob’s passing. May he Rest In peace with Miriam now.

He will be missed.

Dom asked me to post this.

Thank you Skinny so much for doing that for me.

He was my friend and partner. He did so much for Golden Touch and for me personally. Words can’t say how much I miss him.

Dom

Monzell and I are so sorry to hear of Bob’s passing. He was a mentor and a friend to all of us. He will be greatly missed. To all of the GTC instructors and family and especially to you, Dom, I am so sorry for your loss.

We will keep all of the GTC family and Bob’s family in our prayers. He will be deeply missed.

Please let us all know if there is anything we can do to help.

Dennis

I’m stunned to hear this, and very saddened. Bobby had this wit, sarcastic and straight forward humor that I found very fun to take part in. His eye for dice control was like no other, he could spot issues in a heartbeat and guide one to resolution of the problem. To him it was a matter of fact, to the rest of us it was a gift.

He is wi Miriam and Bill now, rolling hard eights forever. The house edge is in his favor now.

Take care Bobby – until we meet again…

Kind regards,
Lee "Section Eight"

So sorry to hear about Bob. It was always great to be around him, and gatherings will be so different without him. I know he missed his wife dearly and I’m sure they’re celebrating their reunion.

Sad to hear Mr. Finesse has left us, but he will be with his beloved Bride, and running the big game in the sky. I am amazed how much I learned from Bob during multiple Tune-Ups. I had the unique experience in Tunica of just the two of us spending over an hour together just talking, sharing, and learning about our backgrounds. His physical difficulties are over and he is with Miriam whom he missed greatly.

I was fortunate enough to play with Mr Finesse a number of times in the northeast.

The thing that I remember most about Bob was that he listened and remembered. If you had a conversation with him about a family member or a job, the next time he saw you he would ask about them or it. That showed he cared abut us not just as students but as people.

I share the sadness of those here and offer my condolences to those who knew him better than I.

While it is a loss for us, he is truly in a better place with those he loves.

Yep, sad to hear it. Great teacher and kind man. R.I.P Bob

RIP Bob.

Tippy-toes and I are very saddened by this news. Bob was a mentor and friend. We enjoyed swapping stories and playing craps with Bob, Rose, and Doc after the last AC class. He made the craps world a better place by freely sharing his knowledge. He will be missed 🙁

Thanks for posting this pic.

Bob’s passing is a great loss for his friends and the GTC family. He will be watching us from the best camera position in the sky, and I can hear him tell Miriam, "that last shot should have had a little more arc on it." Rest in peace my friend. TheUsualSuspect, SemperFi, carry on

Thank you BOB for all the help, I will miss you.

My condolences for Bob (Mr. Finesse) he was a very good man and teacher

RIP

A sad day –

Bob,

I will truly miss you.

Good friend and teacher.

It is a sad day indeed. I can hear him now, scolding the angels for not practicing their grip enough. Rest in peace Bob.

I was fortunate enough to have a tune up with Bob a couple of years ago. Since then he remembered exactly what we discussed and he asked me about it each time we were able to see each other. I agree he had an Eagle Eye for the throw but his teaching on the grip was amazing.

I will miss Bob. I know he and Bill are looking down and smiling saying ".. look what we did!!!"

RIP Bob. You’ll be missed by all of us.

Rest in Peace ..THANKS for the help. YOU WILL REMENBER.

My condolences to the GTC and the Convertito family. I am honored to have met and be a student of Bob’s DC wisdom during the October 2016 session in AC. I read of Bob’s accomplishments in the published books. As a commitment to the DC art and dedication to Bob’s contributions, on my throwing station, I shall keep an electronic candle turned on (tea light) during my practice sessions for the next 5 months.

Bob, the future generation of DC will make you proud.

– Mr. PiP

Bob is having a well deserved rest.
May God rest his soul.
Many of us on this forum are at the age period when
we may go to see St Peter, too, any day.

All the instructors in Golden Touch want to thank everyone for their condolences. At Bob’s viewing I saw so many of his students come, some that drove over 4.5 hours to say their goodbyes and to talk about some remembrances. It was a very touching experience for me.

It showed that we at Golden Touch have built a real family or people that are all good people. It warms my heart that we all get together at times of sorrow and times of rejoicing.

I am very proud of everyone in Golden Touch and I will always have your back!

Dom

Dom,

Your comments certainly warmed our hearts as we read your comments this morning. Yes Golden Touch is a family and all of us have been touched by Bob. We was an inspiration to all of us. Bob will always live in our hearts.

Rose and Doc

Condolences to his family. I met Bob over ten years ago and he was an excellent instructor and a great person. He will be sorely missed.

Very sad to hear of Bob’s passing. We had a talk the last time I saw him concerning our late spouses and connected in a special way. I will miss him too.
