Bob was a member of the South Shore Writers Club who shared his poetry, memoirs, and reflections at our meetings and in our biannual anthologies. I had the greatest respect and affection for him, and I'll miss his wit and wry observations, as well as his friendship and the occasional after-meeting lunches. God has surely welcomed you home, Not So Humble Bob!
Hugs,
Mo
