This breaks my heart to see and just hear about. He was an amazing teacher! I tried to keep in touch for over 30 years after moving out of OH but let the last few years lapse. My heartfelt condolences to his wife Marianne. Your husband molded and changed lives! ❤️
Bob was a dear friend of mine for many years dating back to 1981 when I first met him at a Trans Am display at Great Northern Mall. I spoke with him there, joined The United States Trans Am Club, and we continued our laughter for many years I had the honor of being a part of his wedding party, and feeling like family for many years. Bob was always there with a good joke or a harmless prank, and we enjoyed each others company. He will surely be missed, but will remain in our hearts forever. Thanks for all the good times, bob. Till we meet again.
Bob was a teacher at my elementary school. He lives on in all of the children he helped to educate over the years, he lives on through the funny jokes he shared, & he lives on with the music & performances he left behind. That right there is a lot of fantastic memories amongst a whole lot of people. Such a gift to life. Keeping family & friends in thought & prayer as you navigate your way through grief.
Heartfelt Condolences,

I taught with Bob at Surrarrer for nearly all of his career; I retired a couple of years before he did. I will always recall the "Surrarrer Song" he composed and I taught to students for more years that I care to remember. He truly impacted hundreds of students in a very big way! I know you will miss him, Marianne, as will we all!
Bob was responsible for me resuming a musical career that had been dormant for almost 20 years. Together, we had so much fun performing around the Cleveland area and making new friends almost everywhere we went. He and Marianne welcomed me, and my family, into their home, always with a smile (and plenty of wisecracks), and I will cherish those memories forever. So glad Patty and I were able to sit and speak with him one final time last week. Our mutual appreciation of great music brought us together and I will be eternally grateful for that. He was a wonderful man, a great friend, a caring soul, and will be missed so very, very much. Heartfelt condolences to Marianne.

We had so much fun with Bob at karaoke and the times he came to DJ at our gatherings. Such a wonderful guy. He was like a part of our family. We will miss you Bob. Our thoughts and prayers are with you Marianne and family.
Sincerely, Shelly and Joel. ❤️🙏
My children had Mr. “K” several years ago, a most wonderful teacher on life! There are too many funny, happy stories to tell, but one of my favorites is the sex talk in sixth grade with Mr. K.! Students could not shock the man! Thanks Mr. Kovacs for the memories!
On behalf of myself & Heather our thoughts & prayers are with you. Bob was an extraordinary man. His kindness & love will never be forgotten. I am sure that he will meet up with Mark now & they can share all those good times once again.

Bob K. Was a great friend, entertainer, comic, and just a wonderful human being. He was more than a DJ&KJ he was my pal and mentor. I will truly miss him.
What a talented, funny and caring guy! We will smile through our tears and never forget you!! 💔😇😢🤟
