As a new officer at the time, Bobby made an engineman comfortable working in a TowerLadder. I remember his being involved in everything - in and out of the house from union delegate, to just about every social gathering, party, picnic.
a hands-on gentleman in the firehouse that will always be fondly remembered.

Rest in Peace, Brother... You will be remembered.

Truly sorry to hear of the passing of Bobby. He embodied everything you wanted in a firefighter. He was strong, intuitive, decisive and fearless. In the 1980's, he was the heart and soul of L127. When I became an officer and worked with an exceptional firefighter it often brought me to the comparison of " He reminds me of Bob Myette." He left us way too soon. Rest in peace brother. Eric Sands
