WOW! 16 years have passed and I heard of Bob's sudden passing from a sister in laws sister. Bob was a dedicated family man who also had endless hours helping in the commu it with sports and had a infectious smile that brightened up the ones he came in contact with.
I was at a Red Sox game tonight and ran into the Sullivan's and a Laughinghouse from New London. I did not have the honor of meeting and getting to know this special human being, but felt the sadness and pain felt by these souls that were touched by Bob.
He must have been an exceptional person. Kerp his memory alive as he would have wanted that.
"The best of God's children are taken from us too soon"
Bob left this world a better place!❤
XOXO Andrew's family!

I look forward to remembering Bob at the New London Outing Club Memorial Dedication this Sunday at 12:30.
He'll be looking down on us all and saying,"So, let's play... what are we waiting for." His family and many friends will once again think of his enduring and "sunshiney" smile, to quote my daugher Carlene. We Miss You Bob, but will never forget you!

I knew Bob back when I was in high school and he was starting to coach girls varsity soccer, and without a doubt Bob was one of the most amazing coaches I've ever known. He always had time to listen, was always smiling, and in general had a great outlook on life. My deepest condolences go out to all of Bob's family and friends, he will be missed greatly by us all. RIP Bob, and thanks for teaching me how to hook the ball into the upper corner of the net.

Tucker, Colin, Keegan,



We've never met, but I was lucky enough to know your dad when he was about your age. I was an older kid who mostly hung around with your Aunt Linda, playing capture the flag and stuff on green behind the town information booth. But I loved soccer, and I think I pretty much watched as your dad (and your uncle David) first fell in love with the game over on the bumpy little field behind the elementary school. None of us were very good back then, but we wanted to play every day, and your dad wanted to learn everything he could. Now, as I read the wonderful stories people wrote about your dad, I see he turned out to be the best at getting other kids excited about soccer. Maybe whenever you play, you'll remember your dad and how he taught you to have so much fun. I know it probably doesn't feel like it now, but you're really lucky to have those memories, because you get to keep them forever.



I was visiting New London last August and sitting on the hot sidewalk watching the Hospital Days parade, when along came your dad. He gave me a big hug and one of those huge smiles that were his specialty. I'm lucky too, because I get to keep that memory forever.

Like I said, we never met, but I'm sure you're the best.



Please give your Aunt Linda and Uncle David a hug for me when you see them!

Peg:

My thoughts and prayers are with you and the boys each and every day. Bob was such a wonderful person and had a smile that would light up the room. When I think of all the crazy times I spent in Blodgetts with the boys, and the fun times at Colby, my heart smiles warmly at the memories. You both have always opened your hearts and home to me and I thank you. Remember, Bob is only sleeping with the angels..he is not too far away. xxoo. Marty

Peg,

I just learned of Bob's passing. I want you to know that he was such a great person and I will remember the many nights of poker at Jack's house in Blodgett Landing. Bob's smile was contagous and his sense of humor could always break up the game. I wish I had spent more time in the area these past few years so I could have kept in touch with you and your family. I will keep you in my thoughts and Bob's memory in my heart.

Peg,

Words cannot begin to express our sadness for your loss. You and Bob were some of the first people we met when we moved to New London (brunch!) and our friendship grew stonger as each year passed. Our lives always seemed so entwined: soccer, baseball, of course - HOCKEY!, early morning runs or the Hogan, catering, Christmas Eves, H.S. hockey strategy phone conversations, setting up Steve's website for his start up company,... etc. I thought moving this past summer was going to be one of the toughest things we were going to do, but going back in December for Bob's funeral was by far the most difficult. Bob's smile is forever ingrained in our hearts.

May you and the boys find comfort in the love and support of the New London community and your family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and we're a phone call away.

Love and Friends Always-

The Godin Family

Dear Peg



We were so shocked and sad to get the news about Bob. We did not know him, but we do know you, and he must have been a very special man.



We have been thinking of you at this sad time, and send you and the children our love and most sincere sympathy.



We are contacting you this way rather than writing as the mail from Barbados is so unreliable at this time of year.

Dear Peg and Family,

I first met Bob when I played soccer for Stevens back in the early 90's. Bob was a dedicated father who always talked about the boys. He was a great man, father, husband and coach who touched many peoples lives along the way and is a man whose memory will carry on. I am very sorry for you loss and my thoughts and prayers are with you.

Carolyn Coleman

December 18, 2005

Dear Peg and boys,

We were so sorry to hear of your loss. As one of Bob's cousins, I have such great memories of our summer visits to the Andrews' house. Included in those memories are the 4th of July sparklers on the front lawn in New London, the huge great dane who drank out of the bathtub (he belonged to the babysitter during Linda's graduation party) and the fact that all my Andrews cousins loved to be "barefoot" all the time -- our parents, Uncle Charlie and Aunt Ethel preferred that we wore shoes!



Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this time.

Love,

Carolyn (Memory) Coleman

Dear Peg & Boys,

My deepest sympathy to you and the boys. As I told you in my note, Uncle Charlie was so pleased to have his sister and Stu name their son after their uncles, Robert Charles. We had wanted to have Carolyn in our wedding party only to find out that she was pregnant with Bobby. We were married on Sept 10, 1960 and Bob arrived on the 26th. You're in our thoughts and prayers. With love to each of you, Aunt Ethel (Mrs. Charles Memory)

"They say in Ireland that God only takes the best early". I find comfort in this phrase when hearing of Bob's passing. I have worked with Bob for many years now in delivering the Children of NLOC summer camps. With Bob it was never work and he really was the best. You are missed by many and will be remembered in the hearts and minds of children for years to come. Good luck on the soccer fields and golf courses above.

Dear Peg and boys,



I am Bob's cousin. My dad was Uncle Charlie. I have many happy memories of growing up and spending time with the Andrews family in Bay Head and NH. There were so many of us and there was so much fun and love to go around. I remember the barber shop chair on the porch and the tether ball in the backyard and all the parades we attended together. I am sorry that in recent years I have not had an opportunity to see any of you. I regret that. I can tell from reading the many kind words that Bob touched many lives and he will be missed very much. I am so sorry for your loss and my prayers and thoughts are with you at this sad time.

I first met Bob in the summer of 2001 when along with Peg he took me into his home as a guest whilst I was instructing a British Soccer camp in New London. We hit it off immediately and became fast friends, so much so that we continued to keep in touch with each other via e-mail over the last five years. I will never forget the generosity and friendship shown towards me by Bob, not content with me staying for one week he insisted that I stay on over 4th July week as well and I was soon integrated into his large extended family. Throughout the summer I made frequent return visits to Bob both at home and in his office. I particularly remember one glorious August afternoon when we both sat on Elkins Beach and talked about soccer for hours and hours.Bob was keen to get any 'secrets' out of me that could help his team.As a fellow coach it was evident to me that Bob felt an enormous sense of pride in the players he worked with, I know in particular that he was especially proud of 'his girls'.His commitment and work-rate was amazing, again I remember Peg telling him off because we were 2 hours late for dinner! We had of course been on the soccer field working on some drills. I am sure that your wonderful community will do its utmost to look after Peg and the boys, that's how it should be. Bob served the community selflessly and with a rare passion.New London has lost a great man. I am proud to say that I knew Bob and so pleased that he became a special part of my life.Whenever I think of Bob I will do so with a smile on my face. He was as we say in Britain an absolute 'legend'.

Dear Peg,

Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and the boys at this difficult time. We were blessed to have known Bob and his wonderful attitude about life. He was the kind of person you would want as a freind. May Jesus send the power of the Holy Spirit to comfort and strenghthen your family.

Dear Peg and Family,

I was very saddened to read in the Valley News of Bob's death. I have so many fond memories of my years in and around the New London area while attending Colby-Sawyer College. Many of those memories are from hours spent on the ski hill with Bob and his other ski enthusiest friends. He was also a driving force behind my teaching figure skating at the town rink which I enjoyed so much.

I'm sure his absence will leave a big hole in your community in which he loved and cared for so much. My heard goes out to you and your family and helps me to realize that every day is a special gift.

Cindy, Benny, and Lindsey Benson

Bob lived life with all of his heart. When his heart stopped unexpectedly last Sunday, this community lost a great friend and mentor. Bob truly cared about people and treated everyone he knew like family. He was never in a rush and always had the time to stop and talk. "How ya doin?" "What's new?" "What're you up to?" "How's your family?" "What'd ya think of that game last night?" One sometimes wondered if he ever got anything done! Yet look around and his accomplishments are everywhere: the skating rink next to the New London Inn; the fields and programs at the Outing Club; the plans for a new community center; a website to advertise community events; sailboats at Bucklin Beach; lifeguards; beach programs; summer camps; teams of bright-eyed, confident children; and the faces of all of those whose lives have been incredibly blessed by knowing him. May we all honor his legacy by living from our heart and helping to create a caring community in a world that so desperately needs it. We'll miss you, Bob. Thanks for everything. And may Peg, Tucker, Colin, and Keegan feel the support and love of all of us who are grieving with them.

Still in shock,

Dear Peg,

Bob was a great asset to our community. I had the pleasure of working with him in connection with COA's senior bicycle group. And I appreciated all he did to bring sailing and kayaking to the town beaches. He will be sorely missed!

Jenn Lucas Solms

To The Andrews Family,



I just want to let you know how sad I was to hear about Bob. I am one of the "Lucas Girls" who was a freshman when Bob was a senior. Oh boy how we all got giddy whenever he would walk by. As everyone has mentioned his smile was one of the sweetest ones ever.



Last year my daughter's soccer team played the New London team and Bob was the Referee, it was an exciting game to watch (NL won by a goal) and he called the game completely fair. After the game he came by and said hello and gave a hug to my whole family, my mother was so excited she got a hug too. He laughed at how the fans had made the game seem like it was the State Championship with the way we were all cheering not just a U11 game. He was just a genuine nice guy.



Words can not express how my heart goes out to you and your boys! So from the entire Lucas/Solms Family we send a Group Hug to you all!

I only met Bob this summer when my son wanted to play in the soccer camp in New London while we were on holiday in Sunapee. I asked my friend from New London- who do I speak to, she replied, "Bob will take care of you".



A man who LOVED and took pride in his town, and obviously a town who LOVED and took pride in this man.

As I'm sure so many people are, I was shocked by the news of Bob's sudden passing. I joined girls' soccer team during my junior year at KRHS, and at Bob's encouragement and support, went to soccer camp that summer for goalie training. I was lucky enough to be coached by Bob that season, and I will never forget the intensity and dedication he showed as a coach. Most of all, though, his big sunshiney smile will always remain in my memory.



I wish the Andrews family some kind of peace during this incredibly difficult time. Bob was a wonderful man who was loved by an entire community, and hopefully the knowledge of that will help you get through it all.

Liz Klingler

December 8, 2005

I knew Bob mainly as the person I contaacted at the beginning and end of each summer season to get the key to the Elkins Beach storeroom. It was always a pleasure, and he always

took the time to answer questions about the progress he was making with Elkins Beach plans, he attended many meetings, and could be counted on to give clear explanations of the issue that had been addressed to him. My thoughts and prayers are with you. He was a special person and will be missed by us all.

Our deepest sympathies and prayers to all of you and Bob's extended family. Bob represented the best in people, and brought those qualities out in everyone he touched. Whether coaching, working for the Town of New London, or helping out those in need, Bob gave of himself and expected nothing in return. He has watched over our community for many years, and I am confident he will continue to do so from a better place. May God bless you and the Andrews family

Carl & Becky Hill

December 8, 2005

Dear Peg and Family,



Your family has been dear to my parents, Carl & Becky Hill. My father, Carl Hill, called me in Germany to share his feelings about Bob. He is devistated about his loss of a wonderful friend and neighbor.



Bob was ALWAYS there for my parents. A true friend in every way. He will be missed not only by friends, but by the entire town.

Pam Perkins

December 8, 2005

Toni Berns and I were watching our daughters on the soccer field. The game had been on for about 5 minutes when Bob appeared with Keegan in a baby carrier. He plunked Keegan down in front of Toni & without a word ran onto the field to ref the game.



Suddenly we had a baby - no bottle - no diaper bag - just a happy, smiling baby! For the next hour Bob kept order for the soccer game & we had a wonderful time playing with Keegan & giggling about how lucky we were to live in a town where we could trust one another completely with our most precious assets - our children.



I left the outing club that day feeling so good about our town -

Bob represented everything that's so very great about our village. He leaves us all with a higher standard to step up to.



Peg & Boys, Our thoughts & prayers are with you now & always.

Dear Peg and Boys,

We had the pleasure of knowing of Bob only through our son Scott, and through Lindsey Benson. They spoke so fondly of him when they worked together this summer, and we know how special he was to Lindsey for many years. One has only to read the entries in this guest book to know that Bob was well-loved and will be much-missed. Even though we haven't met, we think of your family often, and you are in our prayers. We hope that the love and support of your family and community will surround you and sustain you in the difficult days ahead. God bless you all.

My heart aches for all of the Andrews family. Such a devasting loss for all of you.



I knew Bob back when he was a teen ager and I was a lifeguard at the town beach. In recent years, I appreciated the opportunity to catch up on our lives when I bumped into him in town, at the beach, or on the soccer fields. He did a fantastic job coordinating the programs for the rec department, he loved his work and all the kids who benefited from his efforts.



He was so proud of his sons and wife, loved his entire family and the town.





Dave, Bill, Linda and Pam - you had a wonderful brother.



Peg - I am sorry that I have not met you but I wish to express my deepest sympathy to you and the boys.

Stay strong Peg.

He helped all our children when they attended school and for that we will always be thankful!!

We wish you comfort during this difficult time.

Peg, Tucker, Colin, Keegan & family -- my deepest sympathies go out to all of you during this extremely difficult time. I have worked with Bob for many years at the town offices and it was truly an honor to know him, both as a co-worker and especially as a friend. He was tireless in his efforts to do his very best for the community of New London. He will be sorely missed and may you take comfort that his memory will live within us forever.

Dear Peg, Tucker, Colin, Keegan and Family



Please know that you're in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.



We will never forget how Bob helped our kids when we first arrived in New London. He quickly found soccer teams for both Erin and Ryan which made their transition to the area much easier. Bob also coached Ryan and instilled in him not only new skills but also a love for the game and a sense of fair play that continues to serve him in all aspects of his life. Our entire family feels privileged to have known Bob. He was a fine man and we will sincerely miss him.

Dear Peg and family,

We were shocked to hear the news of Bob's passing. We have such fond memories of spending time with him and your whole family at Roxley. We feel fortunate that we had a chance to visit with him briefly while we were back there in October. We both showed up early in the morning at the New London Town Beach to take pictures of the lake after the big storm. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers over the coming weeks.

My heart is so full of sadness for you and the boys, Peg. There are no words that I can say, none that I can think of that could possibly help ease your pain. May your many fun filled years together, and all the deep & loving memeories that you all have of your wonderful husband and outstanding father sustain you through these days. Remember that Bob is always with you in your hearts and watching over you day by day. We will keep you, and Bob's entire family, in our thoughts and prayers.

Who hasn't stood in the gym, on the soccer field, the ice rink, the driveway of the NL Town Hall, the beach...and talked with Bob about one of his many passions? Bob was my teaching partner at the middle school for three years and my friend for many more. It is difficult to think of this town without Bob in it. To Peg, the boys, and Bob's immediate family, you must know that Bob will be remembered forever for his contagious smile, his warm and friendly personality, his love for his family and friends and for the missions he led for our community. Thanks for sharing Bob with all of us.
