John Leech As I sit here in old historic St. Johns Church in Utica I came across this post on Facebook with your Obituary. I feel very special knowing that I am in the presence of GOD this Christmas Eve and feel you are with me. The Music in the Choir Loft is Heavenly and I know if you were sitting beside me you would have approved. Where do I begin Bobby. I met you at The Aylesbury in when I was 20 years old. Your presence was captivating and you always commanded full attention of an audience. Your laughter was infectious your charm captivating. I guess that's why I ended up falling in Love with you and consider you the first love of my life. Knowing and loving you changed my world forever. You were the quintessential chef making the most incredible Maidea Heaters Brownies & I think it was Levinbaums Chocolate Grand Marinier Cake. You taught me how to sear Foie Gras and so many other things. My first trip to NYC was with you and the busboy Earl, having lunch at your favorite French Restaurant Lutece, which at the time was second to none. Rockefeller Center, The MET, Lincoln Center, Barney's, Saks & my first experience at Bergdorf Goodman together with so many other trips and restaurants. All of our in depth conversations about GAY Life and Activism & Politics. All the phone calls. All the amazing people you introduced me to not to mention your wonderful family especially your mother Mary who you adored. I had a long conversation with Kathy Howard and we are planning the 70th birthday party that you would have had when you came home in February. Your memory will live on in my heart forever and you will NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.I love you Bobby Dunn always did and still do. John Leech

Danelle Brawley I have had the privilege of being Rob's in home care provider for the better of the last two years. Rob was kind, caring, and generous. He loved big music, big productions, and PBS. One of his favorite artists was Barbara Cook and we listened often. We enjoyed many hours of PBS programming and he especially loved pointing out places of interest and histories of various locations in and around the City. He also loved Classic Rock and we would blast it in my car on our travels to grocery shopping and medical appointments. He will truly be missed. Rest In Peace my friend.
