Dear Shelley and Robbie: I would like to express now what I could not in person on Thursday because of the overwhelming emotion due to Bobby's passing. Our hearts go out to you and the entire family. I never thought we would be attending a friends wake/funeral, which should have been 30-40 years down the road. The outpouring of support reflects the type of person and friend he was and how he will be remembered. You will remain in our thoughts and prayers.

To a loving Wife & Mother;
I was shocked when I heard of Bobby's passing. I always admired the dedication of his love for you when he spoke about you. I hope that your years together filled with happiness and beautiful memories will help you to live with this sad loss. Bobby was a co-worker whom I respected for his dedication and professionalism to his job. I will keep you, Robbie, Britni & Nicole in my prayers. He is in a better place now, no more double shifts, no more going from one job to another, no more worries. May his soul REST IN PEACE

I will always remember Bobby as a good neighbor and friend. He was one of the nicest people I have ever met. I have fond memories of the parties, and he and Robbie always outside together tossing a ball and taking batting practice. My thoughts and prayers are with Shelly, Robbie and the girls. This has been a terrible shock to everyone. But I will keep my happy memories of Bobby as I'm sure that would be what he wants.

To Shelly, the kids and the rest of Bobby's family. I am so sorry for your loss. Bob was a great guy. He worked very hard at his jobs with AA and the RFD.I shared several MBTA train rides with him when we both were coming back from Logan.Bob was always in a great mood when I had talked to him. I am sure that God has a plan for him in heaven. Again, my sympathy goes out to all of you.
