Bob Cobert, the genius who composed the music for Dark Shadows, has left this world. I am sure Bob composed something wonderful to be played as he passed through heaven’s gate.

Bob was a warm, kind, and gentle man and a friend to all those who had the pleasure of working with him. Bob’s music for Dark Shadows was a huge reason for the show’s success. He composed the music for “Quentin’s Theme.” I can never think of Quentin without hearing Bob’s music.

How fortunate I was to be the beneficiary of Bob’s genius. He was a dear, humble and special man who always knew the score and how it should be played.

I loved you dear friend.

God bless.

As many of you may know, Johnny Karlen left this world yesterday. Johnny was a force of nature, full of joy and love of life. His smile lit up the hearts of all his fellow actors on Dark Shadows.

We have all held onto to our love and friendship with each other through the years, and we will continue to hold onto each other as we will always be embraced with Johnny’s smile, his sense of fun, his hugs, and his love.
