Mrs. O´Brien, Bob, Tom, Jim, Mike and Families, I was deeply saddened to hear of Mr. O´Brien´s passing. Your husband and father is one of the most gracious and sincere men I have ever met in my life.

Dear Bunny & Family, My sincerest condolence to you all on Bob's passing. He was a great member of the WHS class of '54, and will be missed by all who knew him.

Dear O'Brien family, I am so sad to hear of Bob's passing. My fondest childhood memories are of Mr. O'Brien and your family during the summers in Niantic. I can picture him now in his tennis whites and how much he loved having us over for clam bakes. He was truly a wonderful man and will be greatly missed. I feel lucky to have known him. Love and prayers, Courtney (Morrissey) Kelley.

Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Dwell on the many good memories you shared.
