At the Mass. Highway Department, I remember Bob in the 1980's when we were both five-time-blood donors. And I knew him at the Union meetings as the Treasurer of MOSES. And he was always very friendly and competent. And I feel bad that he is no longer with us.

Bob's Family,

I am deeply grieved and shocked to learn so late of the passing of my dear friend and classmate.

Please accept my most heart-felt condolences and apologies for not delivering my sympathies in person as I was only recently informed.

With much saddness,

Marilyn
