Not sure what to say?

Bob was truly one of a kind. I spent ten years with him in a small office setting. I grew to appreciate his knowledge and amazing sense of humor. He was a wonderful teacher & great motivator.

I cherish the days that he & I would make our venture to Safeco field to catch a Mariner game. Bob in his Red Sox hat & I in my Mariner hat.

He gave me an opportunity in the Collision repair industry when I had no experience. Took me under his wing & trained me in the way that he...

I'll always remember a few wonderful summertime visits with Uncle Bobby back when I was little. One was a camping adventure to Maine in a RV with a few funny events along the way, another was a visit to a beach house here on the Cape. Little Brad and Bryan drove lobsters around the kitchen floor and Uncle Bobby teased us and made us all laugh. I was sad to hear of his passing and will remember those fun times.

As we crested the hill on Route 6 in Truro to our left was Provincetown, to our right was Pilgrim Lake and the natural splendor of the sand dunes. As you looked to the right a smile came over your face that I will never forget. I will go there again, I will bring you with me and will remember that day as one to remember forever. Godspeed dear brother, I will always see that smile in those...

I love you Dad, and In a way ...you have a part in the father I am today. Thank you

So hard to believe you are gone. Though we have been apart for many years, I took great comfort in the knowledge that all 7 of us were still here. Thank you for taking such good care of us when we were young. It was so much responsibility put on you at such a young age. Rest in peace, brother Bob.

Rest in peace my brother. I will always remember you.
