Not sure what to say?

Just learned of Bob´s passing. A great guy, great coach, and great family man. My sympathies to the family!

I was sad to hear of Coach Cleary passing. Coach was a great man, and I enjoyed my friendship over the years. I enjoyed our friendship and he was a positive influence on so many young people. John Giovannitti PHS AD

I am so very sorry to hear about Cooaxh Cleary´s passing. He was such an awesome teacher! I remember how kind and fun he was teaching me in driver´s education! RIP

Mr. Cleary was a good man! I knew him at Glassboro High School (Class of 1974) and he was my driver´s education teacher. What an encouraging and patient man! My sympathies to the Cleary family.
