So long Bobby ,one of the better athletes to come out of Oliver Ames Hi School. Was a very good amateur boxer and tried professional boxing, won a few, lost a few.
Fond memories of walking or hitching a ride to Canton to watch him play football with the town club. when I could,I'd bring an orange for him to have at half time.
Condolences to the family

Bob was a truly great man. I knew Bob as a proud Marine veteran, a devoted husband and a man of integrity. He liked nothing better than to share with me his stories from his days as a decorated amateur boxer. Bob is now reunited with the love of his life Madelyn. He will be missed.
