Our love hearts and prayers are with you at this sad time. Bob was such a special man. His connection with nature hunting, fishing, and camping brought so much happiness to all your children. Paul and I are so happy we were able to see him in Marion at Paul's 80th Birthday Party. All our kids send their love and prays to you too. We look forward to seeing you at the spring time service in Marshfield.
Love from both of us

Dear Culbert Family,
My deepest condolences to you in your time of sorrow. Bob was a co-worker I had the distinct pleasure of working with while in the Marketing Communications Department of the MBTA.
Bob was a good person who genuinely cared for people. He had a way of making me laugh and I liked that because it always made me feel good! He was quite proud of his Emily and when he had a new picture of her, he would show it to me and the rest of the staff.
I will always...

Dear Culbert Family,
Please know that all of Bob's co-workers here at the MBTA Marketing Communications Department were so saddened to hear of his passing. Over the last days, colleagues have shared remembrances of him and each story seems to have the same theme - what a nice person he was, funny, hard-working, a gentleman, such a good guy.
Whenever we had cookies in the office, he'd always quietly pick out his granddaughter Emily's favorites to take home for her to enjoy too....

Dear Gini,
My husband and I were saddened to hear of Bob's passing. David & Bob were part of a pulmonary group that met at Wentworth Douglas Hospital. Speaking from personal experience we are sure that it has been long ordeal for you.
May God bless you as you go through the grieving process.
Sincerely,
