Dear Carolyn and Family, It just isn't the same on Charter Oak Square without Bob. We will always remember his kindness and warmth in our neighborhood. If I (Mary Jo) needed a helping hand to carry in groceries or straighten out the wheelchair lift to get into the condo, Bob was always there with Emma to help and cheer me. He will be greatly missed!! Love and Prayers to you all, Mary Jo Tryba and Joe Piela, 36A Charter Oak Square.

With tears in my eyes, I would like to offer my deep and heartfelt condolences to Bob's family. I have so many fond memories of Bob from the days that we worked together in the Travelers insurance company law department. To this day I still use the antique key that he gave me ....as my key ring. Bob was a very special man and and i have thought of him often over the years. He will always have a special place in my heart. God Bless .
