Dear Mrs Kolody and Bob's wife Shelly Kolody, my deepest sympathy goes out to you both on the loss of Bob. I attended grade school and high school with Bob and he was always a great guy to be around. He was much to young to leave this world. Peace, Bob. Love, Melinda Berkheimer McKinney class of 67 at Andrean.

I'll always remember the hockey games on the lagoon, Little League baseball, and C.Y.O. Rest easy, my friend.

I, too, was fortunate to have regular phone contact from Bob. His conversation content was so information-laden that I actually began taking notes! That may be the supreme tribute to the man: He was an interesting guy, to say the least. Bob was an original, and the world is diminished without him. Rest in peace, old friend.

Bob never had a loss for words and always livened the bar up at Sopranos. Will miss your pool and dart games with us and your stories of Shelly losing at the casino again. Hows the pizza up there? See you again at the beach.
