Condolence: As a member of EBRS, I wish to extend my heartfelt sympathy to Bob's loved ones. He was very special and it was always an honor to be sworn in by him during officer swearing-in ceremony at our annual squad banquets. May he rest in eternal peace.

Condolence: Bob was always a great speaker and I always wished I’d have the opportunity to speak on his behalf....well now he’s gone and here’s my story...met Bob when I was an apprentice, we became such good friends that I had him as Godfather to my first born... he taught me A/C and refrigeration, and many things about life and tips on raising 3 daughters that I eventually had . My Dad passed at around the same time and he truly helped me through that too. One thing I always remember about him was when done speaking about the future he would end his sentence by saying “the good lord willing”. I felt that the good Lord was willing to let him pass in a very peaceful way with his family by his side and when I visited he always Had Janes picture by his side so I’m sure they are together now. One other thing he used to do was after speaking to a friend or a stranger a lot of times when he left them would say “you’re the best” But if he can hear me now I’d have to say no I beg to differ as you Bob Redford “were the best” You will be missed by all!!!

Condolence: MAN did we luck out when we moved to 58 Deerfield Rd as Bob and Jane‘s neighbors. They were so welcoming and warm to our family from day 1 and for the next 12 years. I loved talking all things mechanical with Bob and learning from him - I’ve done every brake change since!
Bob you were truly a gentle soul and a true gentleman. I will forever miss our chats just leaning on the fence, solving the world’s problems.
Shirley, June and Terry what a gift that you were able to have Bob for 94 years! He will be missed by all who knew him.

Condolence: Dear Mr. Redford family and friends,
My deepest condolences to you all on the great loss of a wonderful man cherished by many who had known Mr. Redford. I had only known him through my dad, Bob McGrath, from years of many events of seeing him at the VFW Post 4699 in Sayreville, and of him who him speaking so very highly of his very dear friend and comrade. He was so proud Bob Redford was his friend and a part of his life the many years at the post on Jernee Mill Road, and involved in all the many gatherings and veterans affairs these great Vets were involved in celebrating together. My dad,Bob, and Mr. Redford and all the others were very proud Veterans, and more importantly, great fun to be around, always happy and smiling. He'll always be in my thoughts and prayers, as will all your family. May he rest peacefully in Heaven. I wish you peace and comfort during this very difficult time on the loss of your loved one.
Thank you for your Service to our Country, Mr. Redford. Say Hi to my Dad, Bob McGrath. I know he will great you with his Great Big Smile and Huge Hug!
Sincerely in my Heart,
Mary Jo McGrath Erdek

Condolence: Deepest sympathies to the family. I was a cadet on the East Brunswick Rescue Squad when I met Bob, he said if you want to make a difference you have to get involved and I did. I will miss him greeting me by asking me "whats new tiger!"

Condolence: Mr Redford was a big part of my childhood as was Mrs Redford . They were wonderful people . I met them in 1969 at 11 and they were a big part of my memories. I use to randomly stop to visit them to just feel a piece of the past as my parents have been gone for many years . RIP Mr Redford you had a great run.

Condolence From: JANICE OBRIEN
Condolence: I was so very sorry to see this. We have so much respect for Bob, as a Veteran and a true gentleman. I remember the first time I was going to be at an event and heard someone say Robert Redford would be there.I got pretty excited and exclaimed, " Robert Redford is coming to Sayreville??!!" I was set straight as to who "our" Robert Redford was, and came to know him as a man just as impressive, if not more so, than the movie personality. Over the years I also enjoyed many nice conversations with Jane as well and saw her at Mass often.. Our deepest condolences to his family on your loss of a wonderful man. Janice & Kennedy
