I had the pleasure of working with Bob in the early 70's as a secretary for Boston Mutual Life Insurance Company. He was a delight! Always a smile and a joke. Fond memories. So sorry for your loss. RIP Bob

Dear Neal, Nancy, Frank and Family. I cannot adequately express my most sincere sympathy to you on the loss of your father. I am heartbroken with this news. Your parents were two of the most decent human beings I was able to meet in this lifetime. These are rare in life. You were blessed. May your father's death and his memory be for a blessing. Your dad was there for me at my time of need. I am here for him, whatever you may need.
