When I was selected Head Pro at Sankaty Head Golf Club on Nantucket in 1975, I was new to New England. Through an introduction from my friend Bill Mallon to Bob, he was kind enough to sponsor me for full PGA membership. I would run into him in Florida in years that followed, and always enjoyed his company. He was a real class act and I send my deepest sympathies to his family on his passing.

I'm so sorry to hear that Bob left this earth so quickly; I'm sure his quick smile will be missed enormously. Once a great buddy of my father, Eddie, I hope they are able to put together a foursome in the great beyond where I'm sure there will be no shortage of laughs and great fellowship.

Mr. Crowley,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served in the USN 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.
