Bob, I'm so glad I got to claim you as my own beloved Uncle over the last 20 years. You made every get together a blast and all the Farmers loved you as part of our family too. We are all thinking of Sharon every day and we promise to take good care of her. We promise to keep up the tradition of laughter and fun you brought with you at every get together. We promise to invoke your name at every gathering as we do with our beloved Officer John Feeney! You will be so greatly missed, Uncle Bob, but never forgotten. Love, JJ

I have such great memories of Bobby growing up with Laura on Tremlett St. He was always running out the door but never too busy to stop and tell a joke or say something that would leave us all laughing. Those memories will remain in my heart forever.
Sharon, please accept my deepest sympathies on the sudden loss of your wonderful husband. Eileen, Johnny and Laura, please know you are all in my thoughts and prayers. Bobby was so loved and will be deeply missed by so many, but I have no doubt he is looking over you all now from Heaven in the loving arms of your Mom and Dad.
Love, Jane (Grogan)
