my papa was a really good person and he always taught me valuable lessons, even though i got frustrated sometimes he was almost always right.
some of my favorite memories were going on the boat with him and the rest of our family, he would make us snacks and get drinks for us and he always knew how to make everyone relax and have a good time.
rest in peace papa

I passed Bob's house on Hocker Drive every morning on my way to grade school. We were in the same grade and, if memory serves, had the same teacher for at least sixth grade, maybe more. Even at that young age, Bob was extraordinary. He taught me compassion for a young lady our age who suffered from a learning disability. Like many kids, her condition frightened me and I reacted with mild hostility. Bob showed me a better way to treat those who are different, a lesson that I practice to this day. The world is poorer without him.

Ron and I are so sorry to hear about Bob. He always had a smile on his Davie and made you feel like he had known you forever, and that he was enjoying life. We enjoyed our times tieing up with you guys on the water and seeing you at the Pub. We are sorry we won’t be there for his celebration of life. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. Take care and hope to see you soon. Stay safe.
Love, Ron and Vicki Gough
