Not sure what to say?

What can we say on the loss of Uncle Bob. Aunt Betty, Marilyn, Carolyn, Jeanette, Lorraine and Bob Jr and all of your families. Words can not express the sadness we feel. Just know you are all in our hearts. So many memories or him and his love for his family. God bless you all. We love you. Carol and Tom

Bob was a wonderful man with a wonderful wife, Betty, and family. Many fond memories growing up with the Holmbergs on Elm Street. He left a beautiful legacy and great memories. Bobby's eulogy was spot on and delivered so eloquently. Sorry I was unable to stop at the house after the ceremony to see and speak with Betty, Marilyn, Carolyn, Jeanette, Lorraine, Bobby and your families. Condolences to you from all of the Morse family.

Uncle Bob has created such a beautiful, and well planned, legacy! His footprint in this town and with his family is a very unique one! He is so kind and loving and helpful to anyone he met! There are so many memories I have of him that I couldn't possibly write them here, but my favorite one was driving to NH with him and Aunt Betty and Grandma and Grandpa in his Honey Bee camper. We were headed up the highway late at night and I was in the bed over the cab looking out the window watching...

I remember visiting Bob at his home after breaking his neck during the Mansfield football game . The whole team was their wishing him well ' He was a hard hitting lineman and [played a great game , I played full back and as a team we did well' 1948 was good season;

Sad to see him go was good friend bob very good to me as my family when we needed it he will be missed

Sending your family our sincere condolences on your loss. Mr. Holmberg was a very nice man.

My deepest condolences to the Holmberg family for their loss. I grew up a few houses down from the Ski Doo shop and have so many fond memories of interactions with him during my childhood. Thank you Mr. Holmberg for both your service to our nation and the residents of Easton.

I wanted to let you know I have sent a message to the Bay State Antique Auto Club membership about Bob's passing. He was a great car enthusiast and many will remember him for his participation in club activities over the years.

I especially remember his 1936 Ford Standard at a club picnic ay Floyd Bent's home several years ago. I believe I was so impressed I had the photographer
take some shots and it was in a club calendar that next year.

Please accept my sincere...
