I had the opportunity to work AND play basketball with Bob when I worked at FUH until 1986. He was a fierce competitor with a great little 3 point shot. He was also quite the playmaker. I was shocked to see Bobs obit. I always liked and respected Bob. My condolences to his family and closest friends.
Bob... we'll play a little pick up next time I see you. RIP buddy

Brenda, We were shocked and saddened to learn of Bob's passing. He was so easy to laugh and always saw the glass as half full, even though our work environment could be stressful. Reflecting on spending fun times with Bob, always makes Charlie and I smile. We hope somehow through our prayers, your pain will be lessened sooner. Pls. accept our profound sympathies. May his memory be a blessing.

Dear family,
I'm so sorry to learn of Bob's passing. He was one of my classmates at English High School and we were bunkmates at the West End House Camp. Please accept my sincere condolences.

Bobby was a golf partner from time to time and his big laugh and a shrug of the shoulders often followed some of his shots. His smile, humor and golf friendship will be missed. Our thoughts and sympathies are with Brenda and his extended family at this difficult time.

I grew up on Manthorne Rd with Bobby. We were good friends playing baseball and basketball together at Weld field. I remember when he started dating Brenda and Mickey Finn, Kenny Gilman, Stanley Drobnis, Mark Friedman and Richie Gorman would tease him. So sorry for his loss
