Bob was an outstanding Principal who provided the faculty and students at Roslyn High School both compassion and strong guidance. He balanced his academic knowledge with a strong support for athletics. He was my mentor and gave me the first opportunity to coach basketball. I always felt his support. His impact on all of us will be permanent.

I was a student at Roslyn High School some 60 years ago when Mr. Canosa was the Assistant Principal. I then spent some time with Bob and Pat a few years ago when they were summering in Grand Isle. Two fine, interesting people. I am sorry for your loss.
