Not sure what to say?

Thinking of you Ann and your family at this time.. May Bob rest in God’s peace ❤

We were so sorry to hear of Bob's passing. He always had a friendly word and big smile when we passed him in the neighborhood. Please know that our thoughts are with you and your family.

I am so sad to learn of Bob's passing and send my love and deepest condolences to his wife Ann, children and their entire family. Bob was a classmate of one of mu older sisters, Sus, and I always enjoyed running into him around town or sharing thoughts on FB. Bob was such a wonderful man who was so thoughtful, very curious and extremely knowledgeable about some of the same things I love....trains and bridges. God Bless his soul and I know his memory will always be sweet. May Bob forever rest...

I remember Bob's smile and humor. He loved talking about trains. He will be missed.
My condolences to his wife, Ann and all of his family and friends.

Bob loved the library. He always had a joke or 2 to share during his evening shifts.
He had a great smile and liked sharing his knowledge of trains. Bob will be missed.

I will miss his sense of humor. What a shock that he is gone.

To Ann and Family,
Our most heartfelt and deep condolences to the Cooley family and all of Bob's friends, coworkers, and acquaintances. Bob had a childlike love for rock music, ferries, rollercoasters, maps, books, trains, etc. we will never forget how he ran from one end of the ferry to the other with the biggest grin on his face when we traveled from Cape Cod to Nantucket the weekend that Jim (Jimmy) and Erin got engaged. . Or his mastery at helping Erin (our daughter), navigate...
