My condolences to your family. Bob was a wonderful story teller of early Concord life as a youngster. He will be sorely missed by me, and fellow stamp collectors. I'll miss his reprimands when showing up late, (in his opinion), at the Planet Fitness Gym, all in good nature. Brian Titilah, Canterbury.

Our sympathy goes out to your family. We have lots of happy memories of our times with Bob and Joyce including times in Florida and our many lunches together. He was a special guy and we will miss him.
