Memories / Devon "Shor-Dee" Mendolia (Ex-Camper at CAB )
Although I only knew you for a brief period of time, it still saddens me to see you taken so early. I remember being the program aide for you and the rest of water front, and you never wanted to rake the sand, so you had me do it. On Fridays when you'd leave for lunch, you'd get me a slurpee, and one time it spilled in your car. When I see you again, the slurpees on me, buddy. RIP Close

You Will Be Sorely Missed  / Pete (Friend of a Friend )

Rob,

We met a bunch of times and hung out in the summers over the past few years. I didn't know you all that well, but whenever I heard the name "Brothy" brought up, only good things were being talked about. God Bless You, your family, your friends and all your loved ones. From what I hear from your friends down here, you have made quite an impression on many, many people. Please watch over everybody from up above, and one day down the road, we'll run into each other again. Rest in peace and God Bless.

I can't believe you're actually gone.  You were always so much fun to be around despite the boring classes we were forced to take.  Everyone at LIU is devestated that you are gone.  I'll miss you.  

To Rob's family: Rob was and will always be remembered as an amazing person.  I am so sorry for your loss and you will all be in my prayers.

Love,
Jessica (LIU) Close

a heart to remember  / Kristen
Dear Brothy,
I dont understand what is going on. I wanted to tell you now that I love you, and I will miss you so much. I remember in high school, when I used to force you to have all our friends over every single weekend..and how annoying I was begging you to have parties all the time, and 'its your turn in the triangle'...and even though bello and I didn't come through much, you always did.  And I am glad I was so annoying now, and im so glad you listened to me, because I have a crazy amount of memories of us, all having the best times at brothy's house, blasting american pie in the background...with you and bello trying to sing to it. And i remember messing around with the ferretts and you would get mad, but you never showed it. But this also reminds me of your character..one of the most generous, tolerable people I know. You were like a pillar of strength for me.  You will be missed. Please take care of everyone, we will support each other and you know that, but we need some help.
Love you babe.
Kristen Close

No one will ever stand as strong  / Chris McGoldrick (friend/roommate/conf-idant)
Dear The Broth,

To try to put into words all that you have meant to me in the years I've known you would be a waste of time.  You are the most loyal, trustworthy and fun person I have ever had the privlege of spending time with, and I can think of no one else I would have rather lived with for three years of college, from 116 Sullivan to 1038 MF.  Knowing you has made me a better man and helped me to "dominate life" as best I can.

Your friendship is a blessing that I will chersish forever, and I thank you for letting me be a part of your life.

I hope that I'm able to stand strong enough to make you as proud of me as I, and everyone who you've touched, am of you.

I love you, big guy.  See you when I get there.

-McGill Close

We Will Remeber You Always  / Samantha Miller (Student)
Mr. Rothschild was not just any normal teacher.. he was like super man. He could help us with anything from social studies to math. He was an amazing coach and the impact he made on kids lives is something we will never forget. He was a great teacher, friend and coach and his spirit will live on at Blind Brook forever. We miss you so much Coach Rob and there will always be a place for you in our hearts and in our school. Rest In Peace. Close

Never forget-- Rob Rothschild!! <3  / Alyssa (student)
Mr. Rothschild was one of those teachers that don't come around often. He loved his job and the kids he worked with so much and was always looking to do his job the best way he could, but have fun, as well.  Whether we knew him really well or only saw him in the halls or had him as a sub, it was clear that he was a happy, go-lucky guy who was looking to touch lives in the best way he could, and he will always be remembered for that.  Though his students at BBMS spent only a short time with him, we saw him as one of those people who we just thought was so cool, whether it was the girls who thought he was so hot (lol) or the boys who either had him as a coach, teacher, or admired him, because of how much the girls liked him :b  He will always be in our hearts and be remembered as a great guy.  He taught us well and that is something we will always remember!!  It is a trajedy he had to go now, so young, but it just makes us think about how much we have to offer and give to the world <33  R.I.P Never forget- Rob Rothschild! Close

We will miss you very much  / Carson Jardine (Student)
Mr. Rothschild we will miss you very much. You were such a great guy and an amazing sub also a really great coach. Everyone at blind brook will miss you greatly. rest in peace.

A Man to Remember  / Eliot Szwajkowski (Student/Football)
Mr. Rothschild was one among few, he actually conneceted with the students on a personal level which made you feel like you knew him as a friend. From being my coach, to my english teacher, to my french teacher he impacted my entire education. From teaching me lessons in language and physical education, he also taught me many life lessons. Mr. Rothschild was a role model to me, and many of my fellow students and shall be remembered for the rest of my life. Close

RIP and best wishes  / Amanda Sorkin (Student)

Robert Rothschild was a great man and an amazing sub, teacher and coach. He was always there if someone needed help. He had a lot of respect for everyone. I'm so sorry this happened to such a young man. He was my favorite substitute! When he walked into class, I was one of the first people to say hello. I am so sorry. May his spirit live on beside us.
