I've know Bobby for over 20 years. He helped me when my son passed away. We are going to miss his kidding around. He also helped me in other ways also.

Cathy & Nathaniel,
Bob and I--as was true of many--were good friends in '60s. Although firearms became an important hobby (I saw quite a bit while in the military during Vietnam), contrarily he was kind hearted and generous. We both liked fast cars, The Beach Boys, Playboy magazine and would discuss James Bond movies either to or from woodchuck hunting in Egremont. 17 Massasoit St as well as the Foote's home across the street was a frequent gathering place.
I will miss him.

Sue is right... Opened my World to many interesting Hobbies while living in the Hood: Auto Repair, Rocketry, the benefits of Gunpowder, Ammo reloading.
I remember he turned us on to The "Firesign Theatre Comedy Group". Pink Floyd.
My son was influenced by him when it came to CB Radios and the beginning of the PC era.
Rough around the edges but giving and kind in Heart.
I hold the family in our prayers. Pete

Bobby was a big part of life on Massasoit St. I have a lot of good memories with him....fishing, driving his Shelby GT, going to the Westfield Sportsman's Club, or just hanging out and talking.
May God be with Bob and his family & friends.
