Dear Cousin Bobby,
I will always remember our times when we came to visit Middletown, CT. They were the best of times, our talks, the good food, and playing cards around the table. Most of all Bobby I will miss your soft smile. Even though we did not see each other that often, I will never forget you. I love you.
Your Cousin from Philadelphia,
Maureen

Such a gentle, caring man. Our world was much richer by having Bob in it.
He gave selflessly of himself to so many people. If there are tiers in heaven, he is at the very top, celebrating with Jesus.
You will be missed by many, Bob.
May you rest in peace; your suffering is over.
