Dearest Bob,

So long my friend. I'll miss our breakfast meetings at Dave's diner in Middleboro. Thank you for teaching me so much about the medical market. My thoughts are with your family. God bless and rest in peace..

To Bob Cotter's family... We were just thinking of Bob and looking to get together with him around Boston Bookfair time in November, and found this sad news. We have known Bob for a long time, having sold him books over the years. Our sincere condolences - we always enjoyed our interactions with him. Sincerely, David & Cathy Lilburne, Antipodean Books, Maps & Prints.

So long old pal. We had a swell childhood of adventure and friendship. Remember when we were about ten years old: took out our jack knives, cut our thumbs, mingled our blood and became blood brothers. I will miss you forever.
May you know only goodness and mercy and dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Gidgie
