Sue and Mrs. Lovegrove,

I am so sorry you are hurting. Mr. Lovegrove was a kind, warm man and so devoted to his family (of course including his dogs.) I always enjoyed the stories, laughs and vegetables :) he so generously shared. We’ve appreciated the many times you’ve opened up your home to friends over the years for the fireworks, as he has always made us feel welcome. Susan, you are so caring and so strong, and through all this sadness, I hope that you can be comforted by the good memories and the fact that your Dad passed these wonderful qualities on to you. Much love to you and your family.

Sue & Mrs. Lovegrove,
I am so sorry for your loss. I will always remember Mr. Lovegrove's wonderful sense of humor, expressions, and that awesome accent... I am grateful to have been included on your family trips to NH and, of course, the UK. He will be sorely missed, but I hope fond memories can comfort you.

Mr. Lovegrove,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice to Great Britain and The Free World when you served in the Royal Air Force during WW II and for being a member of the Greatest Generation. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

Aunt Catherine, Robert & Susan,
Uncle Bob was a kind, thoughtful, loving uncle who always made us feel welcome in his home. He was easy to pick on, but could easily dish it out as well. We loved him very much and will miss him greatly. We will always be there for you if you ever need anything. I guess Mckenzie put it best the other day when we told her of Uncle Bob's passing. She said, "I'll miss him. He was my favorite."

Love to you all,
Scott, Wendy & Mckenzie Rowbotham

Bob will be sadly missed. It was always such a treat to talk with him at Drum's in Norwell over our morning cup of coffee. I'm so glad we got to see him just a few weeks ago with a surprise visit to Drum's.

Sincerely,
Sandy Whiting
