Not sure what to say?

Dear Dottie & Family, we are so sorry for your loss. We met Bob working at Gardeners, he always had a smile and a kind word. He was a great guy. May the good times you shared give you comfort.

We will never forget the fun we all had raising money for Milton football. The memories are still vivid today.Bob was instrumental in getting us into the CVF and hosting casino nights. He may be gone,but certainly not forgotten.Maybe He is helping Phil and Carol now, hope so. Our condolences to Dot, Robert and Pat.

Craig and Robin

I´m so sad to hear this!!! Frosty Bob made coming to VT every year the best! My family and I worked on the carnival with Reithoffer shows and every morning before school I would stop to see him for a bagel and he was the nicest ever and always had the biggest smile!!!! He always supported me in all my fundraisers for school. I will forever hold those memories so close! Thanks for the morning breaky drive bys

Frosty Bob. It was a pleasure calling you a friend. Met you at the Fair in Essex and you quickly became a friend to all of us with Reithoffer Shows.

I am sorry to lost touch since we stopped coming to Vermont. Until we meet again my friend.

Bob was one of the kindest guys we ever met! He would come visit us in Plattsburgh, NY just because he missed the carnival... We will always remember our Frosty Bob

Not long after moving to Milton , Bob suggested that I run for planning commission which I did and served on for a few years, always with Bob's support. You could always count on a friendly greeting and good conversation, even when stopping to see him as "Frosty Bob (I was wondering where he was at the fair this year.).
