Bob, 53 was born on 7/18/1966 and was unexpectedly taken from us on 4/7/20. He graduated from St. Augustine School and attended A.I. Prince Tech- auto mechanics. His love and passion for motorcycles led him to become a member of HAMC and was a member in good standing for 20 years. He also had a passion for heavy equipment, and became a member of the Local 478 operating engineers in June 2001. He was presently employed by the Walsh Group for the last 10 years. He was the proudest when they completed the Pearl Harbor Memorial Bridge. Bob loved his job and made a lot of friends on the job. His favorite saying was "I'M LATE" and it stuck with him. He had a charisma about him and he also had a sarcastic attitude. He lived life his way and died doing what he loved. he leaves to mourn: his mother Helen E Thomas and her partner Donald Wallock, Brother John (Nicole), Sisters Lynne (Alex), and Ann-Marie (PennyLynn), Nephew Mark Thomas, Niece Alison T Sataline (David), Cousin Kristen A Chasse (Marc), Uncle Ronald Asel (Pat), Uncle Carmen and cousins.

Me & Bob started out on Barker St at 8 yrs old in life side by side. Racing mini bikes thru the neighborhood. We has to make due living in the city. So we made a motocross track in the back of an apartment building. That's when things got crazy. We lived next door to each other so every day was a new story about what we did the night before. Raiding gardens was our specialty. As we got older & moved on to to bigger bikes we would ride wheelies up & down Franklin and Maple Ave at 70 mph that's when we were bored. We worked together at Paly Farms in Glastonbury doing excavating still side by side at 22.
Every thing we did good or bad made us laugh for hours! There's not enough room to write all the crazy stunts we pulled together right up till the end!
Friends till the end...
