FYI RE: Robert Gumbinner Passing 10/22/18
Dear Friends, Relatives, ColleaguesMy father, Robert Gumbinner, passed away last night. He died peacefully after a number of recent medical issues. About 3 months ago he broke his hip and had a hip replacement done. As a fighter and never a complainer, he battled back from that only to be hit last week with a UTI and sepsis. Ultimately, it all proved to be just too much.
Dad was 99 years young. He was an incredibly kind, determined, thoughtful and humble man – a husband, a boss, a giver and a father and a grandfather. If I had to choose one word to describe my father, he was a real mensch.
Services are scheduled to be held at the Riverside Memorial (21 West Broad Street, Mt Vernon, NY 10552: tel. 914-664-6800) on Thursday, October 25, 2018 @ 10:00 AM, burial to follow at Mt Zion Cemetery in Queens, NY (59-63 54th Avenue, Maspeth, NY 11378: tel. 718-335-2500); followed by a luncheon somewhere close.

Also, there might be a short memorial service in the coming weeks at Greenspring Village in Springfield, VA, where my Dad lived since 2001.
