Bob was a 40 year member of the Gorham Rotary Club and was twice named a Paul Harris Fellow. He was proud of helping convert the former Gorham Presbyterian Church building into the Gorham Free Library. Working with Gorham Rotarians, Bob spent many Saturdays helping rebuild a widow's home in Gang Mills, N.Y., that had been destroyed by the Hurricane Agnes Flood in 1972.
Bob will be sadly missed by his wife of 52 years, Sharon H. Gage; children, Richard (Lucinda) Gage, Carol Gage and D.

The family wishes to thank the staff on the 5500 wing at Rochester General Hospital.
