Bob - I will miss all of our discussions about Harvard hockey, politics and American history. And more important I will miss all your love and support of my family. I am sure you and Tom Delaney are having a great catch-up over a glass of scotch in heaven!

Uncle Bob, you were a wonderful one of a kind. Your dry humor and spiffy style and were widely admired in the family. Not to mention your love of cool gadgets, all things Harvard and Red Sox. While we will miss you down here, I know there are several folks (and dogs) there to welcome you! Rest well Uncle Bob.

As a young man just out of H.S.in the late sixties working for John C.Paige & Co, I looked forward to my daily Hockey talks, Bruins and Harvard, when delivering his mail mornings. Mr.Watson treated me wonderfully, and the same as everyone in the office, and I have always remembered that, when thinking of him. He was a true inspiration to me,and I will keep him in my prayers.
