I want to express my deepest condolences to Aunt Susan, Nick and Rene on your loss. Uncle Bob was always so special to me while I was growing up and I will miss him very much.

Dear Checo Family.

Wanted to drop you a line to let you know that your father "husband" was the coolest guy in all of Brighton with his gold pin stripe oldsmobile.

Since April we have been trying to track him down (after not seeing him for almost 30 years) to get some of the old gang together.

My sister and I had finally made some headway after tracking down the garage in Cambridge. I arrived in Mass on July 30th and was intent on finding Bobby. I was visiting my daughter in Pelham, NH and picked up the Lowell Sun (never had read it before in my life) and there was Bob's picture.

We are truly devasted that we did not have the opportunity to reconnect and offer our sincerest condolences your entire family.

Your old Buddy

Vic Gobbi

and his sister

My thoughts and prayers are with you, Aunt Susan and Cousins Nick And Rene on the passing of my Uncle Bob...I owe him a debt of gratitude for his knowledge of the carpet install business, He taught me that art and I have had a wonderful career with Home Depot in the Carpet Dept and for that I will always think of him with love and gratitude.
