I met Bob 35 years ago, when he'd just opened the garage. He was so kind and funny, always cracking jokes about my old cars. He understood when I couldn't afford the big proper repair and would do enough to get me going again. Eventually, my brother and my mother were taking their cars to Bob, and we all loved him. He was the kind of person who makes Cambridge a community. Deep sympathy from my family to yours.

My sincere sympathies to Janet and all of Bob's family and friends. I know there are no words that will help relieve your pain of loss, but let the words help you know that people love you and wish they could relieve your pain. I will hold you all in my prayers.
