Betsey and family,

I was extremely saddened to learn of the loss of your Bobby. He was taken from your family all too soon.

You may not remember me, but you and Bob were friends with my sister through your attending camp with her and Bob going all through the Newton schools with her. It is important for me to let you know that I am thinking of you during this sad time of loss.

Even though it has been about 35 years since I last saw you, I will remember you both as young and vibrant with lots of love and adoration between you.

I am sure your devotion to each other has set a wonderful example for your family.

From the first day we met at McLean, so many years ago, to our last meeting at our 50th Anniversary 7 years ago. You have not only been a valued colleague but a great personal friend. We extend our deepest sympathy to Betsy and your entire family.

As an old friend and co-worker of Bob's, back in his McLean days, my sympathies to his family, Betsy and his wonderful children. I have such fond memories of Bob and his love for his wife and children. He will remain in my prayers. He was a wonderful co-worker and friend.

I remember Bob and his family from his Worcester days back in the 50's and 60's, before they moved to Newton. Our families were very close and we were together often. My deepest condolences to his family on this tragic loss.
