Dear Family of Robert Kushner-
I was saddened and shocked to learn of Robert Kushner’s death. I was a tenant of Robbie’s grandfather, Isaac Kusher, at 1418 W. State St. from 1973 – 1985. I enjoyed many wonderful conversations with him. I attended
his 90th birthday celebration at Myrna & Levi’s home in Hiltonia. Now living in Glen Afton since 1985, we enjoyed being customers of Budny Fuel Oil Company, with Robert Kushner as head. I am deeply sorry for the loss of Robert Kushner, even as he and the Kusher Family will always have a place in my heart.
Dear Mindy and family,
We’re so sorry to learn of Rob’s passing. We send our since condolences to all of you. May his memory be for a blessing.
I remember Robbie quite well. I last saw him in 1977. Circa 1960 he was a fun playmate at a nursery school/day camp we both attended, and later at Happy Hours Day Camp in Trenton, then later at the Trenton Jewish Community Center day camp as well as the pool there. I’m sorry to learn of Robbie’s death. My condolences to his mother, whom I also remember.
