We have lost a cherished friend and our lives will never be the same. For over 20 years, we played cards almost every other week. No matter what was going on in our lives or the world in general, the six of us got together. Those times were an anchor of support and friendship as we shared our lives. We will always miss our friend and the times we shared. Robert lead an exemplary life and in leaving this world, taught us how to do that with dignity. Karen, Katelynn and Jason, you will always have our love and support.

Karen, Katelynn & Jason,
We are so sorry for your loss. Bob was a great guy - a wonderful husband, father, and friend. We remember all of the fun times that we shared since before you were married. He will be missed deeply. Chris and Donna always loved how funny he was. Most recently his "Hollywood kisses". You will never forget Bob, nor shall we. He will always be in all of our hearts and his memory will live on in so many ways forever. We are here for you always. Please don't hesitate to call.
We love you,
Kathy,Frank,Chris & Donna

Bob
I will always remember the times we played football, basketball and baseball together back in the sixties. If I knew of your passing I would of visited you at the funeral parlor.
There will come a day we will play sports together in Gods Kingdon. May your rest in peace, Bob.
In Christ Jesus Our Lord,
Marty Bersaw

I never had the pleasure of knowing Bobby but I felt like I knew him well with all the kind and wonderful things Joe Mancini has always said about him. I felt the loss when Joe told me that Bobby had passed away and my condolence's go out to the Woolsey family. Always know that he is in a better place and he will ALWAYS be with you in your hearts, memories and spirit, just talk to him and he will hear you. Stay strong.....

Karen, Katelynn and Jason,
I worked with Bob for several years at Creo and Kodak. Bob was always steady as a rock. When he was called in to an account, it was often a fire drill situation, with a lot of stress. Bob was always cool. Customers liked him b/c he was good at what he did and he kept his head when all about him were losing theirs. God could use a good man like him. I am sure he is making many new friends. But he will always be there for you too. Peace be with you.

My thoughts and prayers are with you, Mrs. Woolsey, Katelynn, and Jay. I'll never forget all the support and enthusiasm that Mr. Woolsey gave while watching all our soccer and basketball games. He was a true and dedicated fan of his children and I am proud to have known such a kind and honorable man.

Karen Woolsey posted a condolence
Bob was the love of my life. He was my heart and now there is a hole in it. We were married almost 28 years so we knew each other so well. He was my rock while I was the emotional one. He was the most wonderful husband and father. He would do anything for us. I will miss his jokes, his smile, his beautiful eyes, his support and his love. The last couple of years were so hard for him. He had so much courage to keep fighting the cancer that even his doctors admired him He wanted to make sure that Katelynn, Jason and I would be alright. He was a simple person and didn't need a lot of things. He was just happy being with his family. I know he is in a better place now free of all the things that were attached to him. I know he will always be around us especially in our hearts. Goodbye my love,I know you are at peace now.

Even in the few times that I met Mr. Woolsey, it was evident how much of an energetic, caring, and wonderful man, father, and husband he was. Living with Kate at college I was constantly aware of the presence they play in one another's lives-- sharing a bond that is playful, affirmative, reliant, and unconditionally loving; a bond that will continue to exist and grow as Kate grows into the amazing woman she is becoming. She truly is a testament to the man that he was.
My husband and I extend our deepest condolences and prayers to Kate, Jason, Karen, and the entire Woolsey family. He was, and is, a man of great stength, love, and support. May those qualities that he passed on and shared with you, and as Kate wrote, will continue to do so, carry you through.

Jason and I go as far back as I can remember. As childhood best friends, we spent nearly everyday together, hanging out at my family's house or at the Woolsey house. Countless sleepovers, nights out, and whatever else along the way bonded us like brothers. A mere bike-ride away, Mr. Woolsey was always there, overseeing us, giving us a ride places, and usually partaking in our fun. His sense of humor, and straight-shooter attitude is something that I will always remember. Through the numerous sports teams, school projects, field trips, and weekends spent at each other's houses, Jason and I integrated into each other's families. I saw a lot of Mr. Woolsey. Throughout adolescence and early adulthood, he was there, cheering on West Paterson, or Passaic Valley, especially Katelynn and Jason's sports teams. I knew him as a father, a coach, a mentor, Jason and Kate's biggest fan, and above all a great friend. Mr. Woolsey was not just my best friend's father, he was MY friend and an influence too. When Jason and I got into an argument, he would always give his honest opinion and help us resolve it. He would tell us when we were wrong without sugar-coating it, and show us the right thing, helping us learn. He would come outside and shoot hoops with Jay and I and even take us to his Mens' League games when he had them at night. ((After every one, we would go to Pathmark and buy the 3-Liter bottles of soda that did not fit into the fridge (Dr. Path, haha.)) He taught me respect, sportsmanship, and most of all, friendship. I have so many memories, so it's hard for me to narrow it all down, but what I will always remember is that Mr. Robert Woolsey was a great family man, always around, very accepting, and always caring for the Woolseys and their friends. A man with a level head, a great sense of humor, and almost always a smile on his face, he leaves us all with great memories and our own stories of how he touched our lives. I know that I will never forget him.
My deepest sympathy goes to Karen, Katelynn, Jason, and other family members.

Karen, Katelyn and Jay,
Words cannot express how sorry we are for your loss. Bob was a wonderful, genuine person who we will truly miss. We have so many wonderful memories of Bob, but especially all the soccer games, not only Tony and Jay's but even Dominick's. He was always the #1 fan.

Katelynn Woolsey posted a condolence
For those of you who didn’t know, my father had been enduring a battle with a number of types of cancer for many years. Despite being first diagnosed with a form of cancer over 10 years ago, his will power and strength allowed him to fight as hard as he possibly could for as long as humanly possible. His courage and determination drove him to recuperate from numerous surgeries and treatments. He was, still is, and will always be the strongest individual I have even met in m life. If only we all could have the strength to face to obstacles in our life with the tenacity that he has, we would all be better people.
<br>
My dad was the best father and husband any one could ever hope for. I cannot express how grateful I am for all that he has done and provided for me. Never did I long for anything. His support throughout the years has helped me to become a better person. Whether it was coaching a sports team, making time each week to practice with me what I loved to do and showing up to cheer me on each and EVERY game - to helping me with homework, proofreading reports I’d e-mail up at 10pm from school when they were due the next day, or encouraging me never to worry about money or a part job, and to strictly concentrate on getting the most out of education that I could. Without him I don’t know who I would have become. He was kind to all and enthusiastic about life. Robert Woolsey was the most selfless, caring, and encouraging person anyone could be blessed to know.
<br>
He is now in a better place where he is cancer free and able to be whole again. I will miss him but know that he will always be around me and that I can speak to him anytime I need. I’m sure I’ll be looking to the sky asking him for advice and guidance daily. I wish he could have lived his life to the absolute fullest, but at times the disease prevented him from doing so. I love my father so much and can never express how much I miss the most perfect person in my world.

Dear Karen Katelynn and Jason,
I know that it is hard to celebrate Robert’s life as he died so young and unexpectedly however experience and history proved us that it is the best way for him and for all of you.
He was a remarkable co worker for me through the years @ Creo and Kodak, a great person that we sure all will miss him very much.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Truly yours,
Itzhak Pearl.
