Not sure what to say?

So many memories with Champ, whether skiing at Butternut basin, vacationing (Bob was our radio man) purchasing records (he introduced me to a guy name Eric Clapton.) We lost a great one!

We played 45´s on the record player, danced, ate great food and drinks (non-alcoholic of course). It was the party of the year as we all had so much fun. And the next day, many of us were on the First Hole Tee Box at GREENOCK CC talking about how fun it was before we all enjoyed our day playing golf. Bobby always won. He was a great golfer.

lee,marie,and courtney, I am very sorry to hear bob, my condolences to you and families.

Bobby and I have been friends since 1st grade. You know the story about us. He never let me forget it whenever we saw each other. What great memories. I'm so happy we got to see each other at Aunt Noni's gatherings. He will be sadly missed by all that knew him. I pray for him and all his family. Marie stay strong. He loved you and his family

Lee, I am truly sorry for the loss you're experiencing. Please know that my heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
