Robert B. Altshuler

Robert "Bob" Altshuler passed away unexpectedly on Thursday, September 16, 2021 surrounded by those who cared for him most. He is survived by his wife of 51 years, Tammi Altshuler, their daughter, Lainie Maier, sister in law & brother in law Neidra & Michael Davis, niece Jillian Davis & numerous nieces, nephews & cousins. He is preceded in death by his parents, Dorothy & Maurice Altshuler, sister & brother in law Barbara & Jerry Newcorn, sister in law & brother in law Shirle & Herman Nathan & nephew Nason Feldman. Bob was originally from New Jersey, but relocated to Miami Beach, Florida at a young age & referred to Miami Beach as his hometown. He graduated from Florida Atlantic University with a Business Administration degree, which he always displayed proudly in his home office. While attending FAU he began working at Wohl Shoe Company, and after graduating from college, the company relocated him to Houston, Texas where he was introduced to his wife of 51 years, Tammi, through mutual friends. Tammi & Bob were made for one another, & shared more laughter than tears throughout their 52 years together. Bob was a simple man, with simple tastes. He was an avid sports fan, & always wore his team regalia to "bring them luck" when watching games on TV. Bob had a shoe fetish & a very large ballcap collection. He always made sure that his ballcap color coordinated with his shirt. In recent times, he enjoyed binge watching action movies on Netflix & playing in the weekly game of Black Jack, which was dealt by his daughter, Lainie. 2020 was a challenging year, with COVID safety protocols restricting the almost daily visits from either his wife or his daughter, but Bob took it in stride & learned to video chat. Bob made Seven Acres his home for the past 9 years, when his Parkinson's progressed to the point where he needed more managed, round the clock care. He was a fixture there, serving as President of the Resident's Club, where he proudly wore a ballcap that read "PRESIDENT" to the meetings, and was always available for a photo op. The family would like to thank the staff of Seven Acres, particularly James Maina, Alpha, Lady, Frienda, Lim Lim, Charolette, Marsha, Jill & countless others who made Seven Acres a safe place, a sanctuary, a home & a blessing to his family knowing that he was both cared for & well taken care of. For those who would like to remember Bob, in lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to Seven Acres Jewish Senior Care Services, 6200 N. Braeswood, Houston, Texas, 77074. Graveside services will be held at Beth Yeshurun Cemetery, located at 1037 Post Oak Rd, Houston, Texas 77055 at 11:00 a.m. Sunday, September 19, 2021.
