Not sure what to say?

Susan, my deepest sympathy to you & Billy. You are both in my prayers. Barb Drzyzga

To the entire Glidden family....our sincerest condolences. My wife and I have to many memories of Bobby to mention. We would have to write for hours, and still be unable cover everything. When we were informed of Bobby's passing today I cannot express the feelings that touched our hearts. Our condolences go out to his entire entourage...both family and friends, he will be missed but not forgotten.

Susan, I am so deeply sorry for your loss, please find comfort in happy memories. You and your family are in my prayers.

I had the pleasure of working with Bobby at the Brightside Campus School right after a tough time in his life. He was always positive and showed a true enjoyment of his life. He worked so well with the kids teaching them all types of sport activities. They truly loved "Coach Bob". He was definitely one of the greats. Sue, I am terribly sorry for your loss but I will always remember the good times I had working with Bob.

Sue

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. May the support of family and friends help you through this difficult time.

My mother was a childhood friend of Bobby's mother Catherine. She would remark on what a wonderful and nice person Mrs. Glidden was. Those traits obviously were passed on to all the Glidden family as the friendship I had with Kenny and Bobby was always a respectful , competitive in many cases, and cooperative in others as they were often rivals on the athletic fields and then teammates at times.
Holyoke has lost a great citizen and the Glidden family has lost as good a man as there can...

Thoughts and prayers to the Glidden Family. Bobby was a true Holyoke icon. I had the pleasure of playing with and against Bobby many times at the Y and other gyms across the area. He was the "ultimate competitor". He will be greatly missed.

With our deepest sympathies, the family of Bob Mitrowski. We will miss you at the Holyoke Catholic Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony.
