Bob was a great member of my "P&O" team in the Hackettstown Plant of M&M/Mars. Always cheerful and willing to help. A great person.

I had the pleasure of working with Bob at M&M/Mars. He was always cheerful and dedicated and fun to work with. Such a wonderful guy who left us too soon.

I know that I'm a little bit late with this but literally only just found out the news today. It was a pleasure to know Bob. I could be having an awful day at work and Bob would walk in and instantly make me smile or laugh. Please accept my most sincere condolences to Gail and family. Simon, Sarasota, Florida

Dear Family - My sincerest condolences. I am so sorry for your loss. My prayers and God's Blessings are with you.
Whenever I saw Bob he always had a big smile on his face and a "hello, how are you?" My fondest memory was when Bob drove Kathy Wyss and I to Wheaton College in MA for their graduation. We were the Red & Yellow M&M's. We had a great time.
Keep that wonderful smile and attitude that Bob had and you will go far.

I remember Bob from my days at M&M/Mars in Hackettstown in the late 1980s and early 1990s. I was very please to have had Bob as a member of my team for a short period of time. He was always very personable, happy and dedicated. He knew his stuff about candy making and could solve any production problem. His gregarious personality made a joy to have on the team, he seemed always youthful in appearance and I will miss him.

Bob was like the mayor of HKP. He was always smiling, helpful and supportive. He was proud to be a Martian and I was honored to have worked with him on projects. My sympathies to his family, he was one of the good guys. The world will miss this good guy as I know I will.

Having had the opportunity to work with Bob, I got to appreciate his dedication to Mars and the wonderful time I had interacting with him. May he rest in peace.

Bob was one of the best. Always positive and giving of himself. His family can be proud.
"Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth."
(2 Timothy 2:15)
I am sure God approved of his work.

We are so sorry for your loss. We only knew Mr. Caffrey but for a short time. However, whenever he came to Jersey, he always came to see us. It was always a pleasant surprise. You will be sorely missed.

I had the good fortune to work with Bob on a number of projects at Mars. He had such a great "can do" attitude, was a great team member, and always greeted everyone with warmth and humility. I can still picture him walking down the hallway in his "whites" with his ever-present smile. He is one of those special people who always leaves you feeling more optimistic about life. My deepest condolences to your family.
