I am an old friend of Bobs. We went to High School together. Can anyone tell me what happen to Bob? I did not know he passed away.
I spent many hours at Bobs house and his mom was always very nice to me.

Matilda was a terrific person and great employee. As a very young Commissioner of Assessing I appreciated her patience with me - and her desire to always want to learn something new.

I was fortunate to be a Visiting Angel to Matilda. We went to the Workout Clube together via a limo!! We had some laughs. Matilda was a very refined lady. I was sad to hear of her passing.

I worked with matilda up until I retired in 1962. She was quite a lady
She grew up in Roxbury like I did. Those were the days. I remember her dancing at a Christmas Party.
Such great poise and even in her mannerism. Wont forget her
