I just found out today, 9/19/2012 that Robert Kennedy had passed. I am sitting here crying and I feel for his family. I don't believe I ever had to meet the man to know him. His work and his love of what he did, made him available and accessible to all of us. Thank you to his family who so willingly shared him with the world. Rock ON! Cynthia

He was the epitome of health and fitness. He looked amazing in his 70's and so energetic. Thank you for the memories Mr. Kennedy.

I "met" Bob when I was 16. He wrote me a personal letter to encourage me. Bob was a great person.

A light has truly gone out in the world. I've never had the opportunity to meet Mr. Kennedy, but it it obvious that in addition to being so talented, he had a spark and a silliness that breathes life and joy into the world. I hope he is remembered like this. I can only imagine how much he will be missed. The bigger the presence, the more lives that are touched, and the bigger the void we have to deal with should it be their time to go home first. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

My deepest sympathies to Tosca and all the Kennedy-Reno family and Kennedy Publications...his dedication to the health and wellness industry has inspired me and pushed me forward on my own journey to good health. Thank you Robert, you will be greatly missed!

What a beautiful tribute to a man of true inspiration! Prayers for comfort, peace and healing go out to the family and friends who love him and know him intimately.

This made me cry. He always seemed so vibrant and full of health. I can only imagine how much he'll be missed by all who knew him.

Rest in Peace Bob. He was a huge influence on me...huge huge influence. Helped change my life for the better. Condolences to his family.

Thank you Mr Kennedy for your longtime commitment to fitness and healthy lifestyle. God bless and comfort your loved ones.

My condolences to you, Tosca and to all the children and family. Your husband wrote inspiring articles and I cherish that I still have his books. I was a teen in the 1980's and Bob had great influence on me, and always will. May God be with you and with Bob.

I've had the pleasure of meeting and talking to Bob Kennedy several times when he was in Columbus for The Arnold. A genuinely nice man accessable to everyone and you had the feeling that you had a new friend. I'll miss talking to him

I'm so sad to hear that. He inspired me to get healthy. I lost over 40 pounds, eat clean and work out because of his work.

[smurfable]

So sad for your loss. My deepest sympathy goes out to you and your family.

[myboysleiter]

Beautiful video. What a handsome man. So lucky to have met him and gotten a hug from him. :-) RIP Robert. <3 Hugs to you, Tosca.

Exactly, Bob was really the picture of health. He lived a long life, but with his lifestyle I was hoping he would live to 100. He will be greatly missed.
