So saddened by Mr. Agler's passing. I valued becoming a friend to Mr. Agler and looked forward to seeing him and Mrs. Agler several times a week at Linden Ponds. He always was ready with an appreciative smile and a warming laugh. I always loved giving him his signature dessert of three ice cream scoops and maple syrup. Many thoughts and prayers to Mrs. Agler and all the family

Growing up, the Wells family had so much fun at the annual clambakes at the Agler's house in Hingham, and whenever we saw Sylvia and "Uncle Bob" over the years. He was a sweet wonderful spirit and will always live in our memories.
