Molly Ringwald is paying tribute to her jazz legend father in a heartfelt obituary.
."As a preteen, he attended the California School for the Blind in Berkeley. After a couple of years, he returned home to Citrus Heights and graduated with the Class of 1960 at San Juan High School. That same year, he married Adele Frembd, his wife of 60 years."
"Although Bob was first drawn to modern jazz, performing at local Beatnik spots such as The Iron Sandal, it was the music of Louis Armstrong that inspired him to shift his musical focus — instilling a lifelong passion for the performance and preservation of “traditional” New Orleans jazz," her obit continued, in part."In 2012, Bob was honored by the festival as 'The Emperor of Jazz,' which both touched and embarrassed him.
Honoring his bright spirit and personality, Molly shared,"Anyone who knew Bob also knew his mischievous streak, and his ever-present, slightly ribald sense of humor. If you didn’t sufficiently beg to get off of his email joke list, you would have received one just a couple of days before he died." Apart from Molly, Robert is survived by his wife, Adele, daughter Beth Ringwald Carnes, son Kelly Ringwald, as well as six grandchildren and two great-grandchildren, and his sister, Renée Angus.
