I am very sorry to learn of Bob's passing. When I was a young child living in Bangor Junction he would walk me to school. In later years we'd walk at Bangor park. He was a great person and I will miss seeing him. May his family be comforted during this time of sorrow. Len Gruppo

My deepest sympathy to Bob's family in the loss of their father and grand father. Such a sweet man. I always enjoyed talking to him when I would run into him.

Shannon, Jack and I are so sorry to hear about Bobby's death. I'm going to miss our phone conversations we had about twice a month. He loved talking about years ago, and our mutual friends. I wished he could have hung on a little longer, but if it was his wish it's ok. He was a gentle soul with a kind word about everyone. We're going to miss him dearly.
