Donna and family, sorry to hear of Bob's passing. My days with Bob go back to working in East Hartford and in boating. Always known as "a blow boater" in Bob's terms, we kept in touch and came to be "neighbors in Mystic". Bob loved boating so much and he was so happy with his years with you, Donna and sharing that passion. Bob was a friend to many and never more than to his mentor and life long friend "Bergie". God bless you and family.

I'm very sorry to hear of Bob's passing. Bob is a great guy to know. I had some really good times with Bob, both at work and out of work. I would receive a funny joke from Bob from time-to-time and it would remind me of his good nature. I worked with Bob on several projects; he always found a way to ease the pressures of the job. I will always keep Bob in my thoughts. Bob's family will be in my prayers.

Dear Family.
I just learned of Bob's passing, and I am deeply saddened.
Bob and I were friends in working projects, that Bob taught me how to accomplish.
we had many laughs together.
He gave me his framed photo of that great "Ba Da Bing".
Thank you Bob, for being my friend.
